I have actually started this diet because one of my kids did. The no sugar, no carb (or low carbs) really appealed to him and he is doing great on it. He has lost 30 pounds and is back to his high school weight, He looks fabulous and feels great.
His doctor is elated with it. I am not as good as him, but, I am back on track tomorrow with the holidays over. I have found recipes that work well and I love cabbage anyway!
Win-win Good luck!!!!! tip!
hey thanks @dswigle. that's great news to hear about your son. 30lbs is a life changing amount of weight and the side benefits to detox and how the brain is fueled are probably not fully understood or appreciated.
Cabbage is one of the keys. A high protein diet needs a lot of fibre to balance it out and WATER intake has to go up by at least 1 litre per day. A lot of people ignore this and it puts a lot of strain on the kidneys which are processing more protein than usual !
the holidays are hard.. but if you can make it into part of your routine a few days off the bandwagon aren't too bad :)
I totally look forward to it! Happy New Year!! The name is Denise. ;)
(I'm going to write a bit more about keto, next week. it seems people resonate with it and I have been on quite a journey with it )
