Hi Everyone, I'm Emily. I’m 33 years old living in Austin, TX. I struggled with my weight for almost 15 years. I tried every weight loss method I could find and never thought I'd get off the diet roller coaster. After reaching my heaviest weight of 180lbs in March, 2017, I had almost resigned myself to a life of being overweight. But I decided to make one last attempt and started Keto. Keto made me feel satisfied in a way that no other diet had. The way the diet regulated my insulin and blood sugar made me feel like my days weren't controlled by food for the first time I could remember. My new energy allowed me to incorporate exercise into my life, not as punishment, but as something I truly enjoyed that made me feel great. Since starting Keto, I lost 60 pounds, went from 42% to 21% body fat, and ran my first half marathon! My experience with Keto not only led to physical changes but more dramatically, it changed me mentally and emotionally. Realizing I had the power to change my life and become the person I always wanted to be has given me a confidence I've never had before.
