Stats: https://i.redd.it/mif2noj0k1e31.jpg
Began with IF, then added Keto, then started exercising.
It all started just being tired one night and going to bed early - decided I'd try to fast until lunch and kept it going.
Energy is way up, I used to take a nap most days but since I cut carbs I feel less sluggish.
What worked for me was starting with intermittent fasting (IF) - I'm doing 16:8 and began with eating what I would normally eat during my 8 hour feeding window. That included fast food sometimes and desserts in the evening. I have young kids and had a bad habit of eating at night after they went to bed; cutting that out had an immediate impact for me.
Once I started losing some weight and feeling better I wanted to keep the momentum going and decided to eat healthier. I'm eating a lot more vegetables and greens now and am more conscious about what types of food I'm eating. I'm watching carbs, sugar and overall calories. I used to have a strong sweet tooth but have found since dieting my sugar cravings have diminished.
Only with the weight loss and extra energy was I able to begin cardio exercising. I have a treadmill in the house but was always too tired to use it. Now it helps as a release, and I'm finding it's much easier to walk/run for 30 minutes than it used to be.
Overall I feel much better, have more confidence and would encourage you all to find what works for you! Start small, get some small wins and build on that.
