Before finding the power of #Ketosis, I would resolve to start a new crazy diet, "cleanse" or supplement --- in order to help mitigate some of my inflammation disease paired with the fatigue of mobility issues. Nothing worked. I was misdiagnosed for over a decade and I was 28 when I had my first bi-lateral knee replacement and then 4 other join reconstructive surgeries in two years. I was sick, tired and frustrated... alone. “But no, for real this time…” Every day, I would eat (or not eat) on some “plan”, or take some pill, or chug a juice and then end up quitting anywhere between day 2 or day 60. I started to develop a bad relationship with food. I either ate what I thought was "safe" or just said “oh well” and ate 3 plates full of nachos. I either gained a bunch of weight or was skirting on the lines of dangerous BMI. None of my "self treatments" were smart or healthy. If anything, they did more harm than good. I was so tired of the ON and OFF cycle. “I’ll start again Monday…” began to be my Mantra. I wanted a strong and healthy body. I wanted to end the cycle of constantly thinking about food. I just wanted to be NORMAL. Since implementing a low carb conscious diet, implementing the 5 pillars of health and drinking PTKs daily… I have completely evolved not only my relationship with food but also I am stronger and healthier than ever. I have all day energy. I’m fueled properly. I can MOVE freely. I can crush gym workouts and I actually WANT to train. I am building muscles. I make food choices that are aligned with my goals. I now have a carb awareness and I don't feel like I’m "strict dieting." My cravings are controlled. Monday’s come and go, and I’ve remained on the path to 1% better… and over time, things keep getting BETTER AND BETTER.
