Intro to Keto

Back in summer of 2016, my hair stylist mentioned a diet she was following to lose weight. She was 135 lbs trying to go down to 120 lbs, so I silently rolled my eyes in my head. She lost me further when she mentioned that she has coffee with butter every day. I didn't ask her more questions and politely told her that I don't believe in fad diets and have promised myself that will not try one. Fast forward to October. I was bored and a bit tired of my weight which I was subconsciously thinking would just go away and surprisingly (not) hadn't. So I asked her about the diet again. And asked her how it was different from the infamous Atkin's diet. She patiently explained it to me and I said I will give it a shot. No harm, right?

Stuck in a rut

So much has happened in the last 8 years. Life has gone on.And my fitness/weight loss goals took a backseat....still the same issues worsened by the age factor. Am in my forties now so need to start focusing on the health aspect.

My weight went up to 185 in the last few years. I had no adverse effects in terms of health but it used to be difficult finding clothes which fit well. I had no motivation to lose weight. I had friends, co-workers, acquaintances politely indicating that I should take one step at a time to move forward and how, if I don't at this time, I will see the adverse impact on health later in life. Nothing worked. There was no motivation. I wasn't depressed, nor was I motivated to take a step, didn't feel like I had to. Why?

Well, in case you are wondering, I still don't have the answer to the why, but I did make a change. More on it tomorrow...
