ketogenic diet good for weight loss 2022 - 3 minutes read
I have been a fat girl all my life. But a little more than a year ago, I was skinny, very skinny. And somehow after losing about 30 kg, I still felt bad about myself.
But I also worked out and watched my calories closely and educated myself about nutrition because I couldn't really push myself during a workout due to my severe back condition- ankylosing-spondyloarthropathy, or whatever it's called. I've stopped paying attention. Focusing on my illness will do me no good. But yeah, I can't gain weight- it worsens my condition. So, when I was reading blogs after blogs on nutrition, I stumbled upon keto. And it made sense to me. I needed less fat and more muscle and this diet seemed to be the most sustainable way. And with regular workout and diet, my abs were starting to pop out.
So I limited my carbohydrate intake and increased protein and fat intake. But with real efforts. I understood the science behind ketosis and I made efforts to be under ketosis, strictly limiting my carbs under 20 g a day. And I checked the ketone level in my body, by taking the urine test to understand how and when my body is in complete ketosis.
But this was more than a year ago. And at the time I lived alone, I made my own food choices and I am a very stubborn person.
But then vivek came along and spoilt the fu#k out me. He treated me as I was supposed to and I? For the first time in my life, I felt like I deserved to be spoilt.
I was really on a chocolate eating spree. And ended up gaining 10 kgs.
After the lockdown, I made efforts towards choosing my food, in efforts of going back to the person I remembered I was. And I started off my eating more nutritious food, then intermittent fasting and 3 days ago, I finally had enough motivation to start keto.
Right now, I am on moderate ketosis as you can see.

And I am so pushed towards achieving my dream body, for sure this time. And Vivek has realised that more than chocolates, a life of discipline makes my the most joyous so he’s in it with me. Win-win, right?
Day-1 of Lockdown vs this morning.
It's the start of a journey and I'm really glad that I care enough to take it.
I can't wait to get back into the favourite version of my body and of course, the clothes that are in my closet, waiting for me to fit back into them.
