Why Keto?

Before I ever knew about keto, I had tried to eat healthy, tried to do portion control and I was never satisfied.  I never felt like I could accomplish it.  I would do okay for awhile, but then it was either too hard or too discouraging and I wasn't feeling better, only hungry or deprived so I would not be too excited about continuing.  I think that is why dieting or trying to change to a healthy lifestyle can be so difficult.

When I first really heard about keto, it was on the film, "The Magic Pill" on Netflix so I did research and more research and even more research.  Believe me, with the internet and youtube there is so much information about keto that it can be overwhelming.  

I chose to do keto because it has been proven to improve health and reverse type 2 diabetes.  One of the people that I have started to follow is Dr. Ken D Berry.  

Of course, he is not the only person I follow or listen to or get information from. I follow him because he is a doctor and I like what he has to say about keto.

That being said. I have already talked about the benefits that I have seen in my own life just from eating keto.  

So here is a sample of some of the things that I eat.  This was my breakfast this morning.

I decided to do some scrambled eggs, but a little differently than I normally do.  I used unsweetened almond milk, instead of cows milk, and I added mushrooms and spinach.

I melted the butter and cooked the mushrooms and spinach a little first and then added my scrambled eggs and stirred.  

To finish it off I topped it with mozzarella cheese and let it melt.  

Add a side of bacon and it was very, very good.  Although it ended up being too much.  So next time I won't make as much.  Because this was definitely too much.  

That is another thing about keto.  Once you have been consistent for awhile, you start to get full faster or you just are not as hungry.  It took me awhile to get there, but I am definitely starting to notice it more and more.  I just can't eat the same amount of food that I used to.  Which is a good thing.  

Because I am seeing success while eating keto, I am excited to keep going.  I am not discouraged, I don't feel like a failure and the improvements that I have seen in my daily life have been exciting.  

Since I feel better and am more healthy, I am doing better emotionally and spiritually.  I get up every morning and am able to get out of bed without a lot of struggle, do my Bible study and prayer time and get lots more around my house done during the day. 

I feel like I am building my home up, physically and literally.  I am more available to my kids now than I have been in the past and I feel more confident in myself.  

I am grateful for keto.  I am grateful for the changes it is helping me make in my life.  I am grateful that I can focus my brain and my heart on things that matter more now, like my relationship with Jesus and my family and friends.  I am grateful that I am not exhausted and having to nap during the day most of the time and I am grateful that I am starting to not just catch up, but keep up on all the daily chores that I have not been able to do as well on in the past.  

All in all, this is starting to be a wonderful, positive journey that I have started.  I hope to stay on it, but I know that if I mess up, I can just get up and start again.  

I'm happy!!!!!!
