If so how did it go? Was it difficult? What were the benefits of it and how did you feel? Yesterday I had my annual doctor's checkup and they found my blood pressure (which used to be high) was now in the normal range but that my fasting blood sugar levels were almost into the "pre-diabetic" level. So I am doing research on diet and exercise regimes to see what I can pro-actively do about that and the keep diet seems to keep coming up.
My understanding is that it is a diet which is high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrates. That means things like grains, potatoes, and sugars are out as well as stuff like alcohol. Some people even recommend intermittent fasting for a day a week. I am all knew to this and looking for recommendations.
I know a thing or two about weight loss and getting healthier.
In March of 2019, I weighed 405lbs, I weighed myself this morning (it's currently just past 10 a.m, I got on the scale at 7 a.m) and I currently weigh 285lbs.
That's a loss of 120lbs in just under 2 and a half years all on a 100% plant-based diet with intermittent fasting.
You don't need KETO, you really don't have to avoid carbs, but I'd stay far away from refined sugar and animal products.
B12 is the only thing you'll need to take a supplement for if you're eating a varied diet and making sure you're going after optimal sources of omega-3s, iron, calcium, and vitamin D. That just means checking to see if the food you're getting is a good source every once in a while and having blood work done every now and again is never a bad thing.
Good luck, you can do it.
