In July I was 203 pounds which for a 5'6" frame, put me in the "obese" category. It was the highest weight I had ever been, and I felt I occupied more space than I should in the world ( not in a good way ). I follow a youtuber on Indian cooking and for whatever reason this woman mentioned how she recently started eating in a more "Keto" way. This woman is thin as a rake. She mentioned she was doing this for mental clarity. On a whim, I decided to try it. I literally threw the little debbie box I had my hand in, in the garbage that day. Today, I am 166 pounds, still "overweight" but this is the most amount of weight I have ever lost. I feel so much better and healthier, and its true about the mental clarity. My unsubstantiated hypothesis is that it takes away the emotional swings insulin give you. I eat till I am full. Honestly. There is not a day that I "think" about what I am eating other than keeping sugar and carbs out my month. I could not be happier. I am a 38 yo technology professional, and I imagine many others here are similar. I have nothing to sell. I just want to make people aware of a lifestyle that may help many of us who sit all day for a living.
