I have always been hungry.

I don't mean peckish, or meh, I could eat. I mean screaming mad hungry. Even after eating so much as to have no physical room left for food, I was still hungry. My brain was telling me I was starving. Not only was I starving I was addicted to sugar and carbs. At my worst I ate 6 100g chocolate bars a day, just to function. Never mind the donuts and other grain based products.

Eating seemed pointless because at best, I would still be hungry. At worst I would gain weight and have debilitating reactions. It seemed futile. At my highest weight I was over 325lbs and gaining.

I'd struggled through every diet you can imagine. The zone, mediterannean, Atkins, low fat, CICO, Weight Watchers, Gluten Free, Suzanne Sommers, The GI diet, paleo, primal, vegetarian, vegan, raw, The Cabbage soup thing, a master cleanse. Then exercise, p90x, marathons, triathlons & cardio. Then finally pills, powders, caffeine and starvation. With over 25 years of dieting I managed to lose & gain over 700lbs. Until I somewhat settled around 225lbs. But nothing worked and I suffered for every ounce lost and with every one regained.

Nothing worked until I found Keto. As of today, April 9, 2015, I have only lost 15lbs but I have gained so very much more. Immediately I felt... normal. I was no longer hungry. I felt as though I had control of my life for the first time. I cannot even begin to tell you how it saved my life. Starvation was literally plan B. My last hope. My blog k1ketoblog.wordpress.com chronicals my journey through this WOE. It aims to compile as much information on the subject as possible in hopes to help others find peace of mind and quality of life.

When I'm not working (www.mainsdemariposa.com) or blogging, I like to train agility with my labradoodle Muk-Muk or get my hands into something creative. Anything from gardening to playing guitar with a minor interest in triathlon and travelling. And of course there's always a home cooked keto experiment & kickin' back and relaxing with my man beast.
