<p>After a lifetime of yoyo dieting, hospital trips, and overall poor health, I discovered keto at 290 lb. a few years ago. </p>



<p>My health improved and I lost weight but still struggled to break 250 lb&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t figure out a way to make healthy meals and stay consistent with my crazy work/travel schedule, so I&#8217;d bounce between losing weight on keto, then reverting back to the Standard American Diet and gaining some back as life got crazy. </p>



<p>My doctor said with the PCOS and other health issues, I&#8217;d never get below 250 without weight loss surgery, and I should expect to gain the weight back. One doctor went so far as to say, &#8220;I hope your husband likes women round.&#8221;</p>



<p><strong>Enter Keto Chow.</strong></p>



<p>I purchased a starter kit and jumped on the &#8220;month of Keto Chow&#8221; challenge and got down to 220, the lowest I&#8217;d been in years! The doctor gave the ok to start exercising, and I actually felt well enough to do it, which was weird. I&#8217;ve always been the fat kid&#8230; Exercise has always been punishment, not something I&#8217;d do willingly. </p>



<p>The scale wasn&#8217;t moving but I got a work physical and the fat/muscle percentage had changed drastically, <strong>my lung capacity was improved, adult acne was gone, perfect cholesterol and no longer need a statin</strong> (shameless plug for those who have heard that keto will turn you into a piece of butter fat with sky-high cholesterol). </p>



<p>My hormone specialist commented on how good everything looked and removed all but the natural supplements. She had me walk through what I was doing and later mentioned that she&#8217;s suggested Keto Chow to a few other patients, and said that my way of eating was &#8220;the best thing you could do not only for longevity, but for your quality of life.&#8221; The number on the scale was holding fast but clearly other stuff was improving.</p>



<p><strong>Down to 210.</strong> My pants fell down at work while I was carrying stuff. Time to hit a thrift store for some transitional clothing.</p>



<p>205 and it&#8217;s Thanksgiving. We indulged a little, spent long overdue quality time with family, and yeah, gained some water weight. But that was ok too. None of the guilt or shame about food that&#8217;s always accompanied a &#8220;cheat day.&#8221; One day was just one day. Keto Chow was ready and in the shaker on Saturday.</p>



<p>So here we are in December &#8212; the prime weight-gain season. <strong>198. One-derland.</strong> Healthier than I&#8217;ve ever been, numbers where they should be, with no weight-focused medical intervention. A lifelong insomniac but finally sleeping. Not needing to ask for seatbelt extensions on the plane. Ditched the statin I started in my early 20s. And bought a lovely copy of &#8220;Alice in Wonderland&#8221; to mark the occasion.</p>



<p>A huge THANK YOU to the people over at Keto Chow. The products and community you&#8217;ve created have had a wonderful ripple effect. <strong>It&#8217;s not even that I couldn&#8217;t have done it without KC, but I WOULDN&#8217;T have done it without KC!</strong></p>
