    Keto Success Stories: Aidee's story.

    • Name: Aidee
    • Start weight: 229 lbs
    • Target weight: 180lbs
    • Current weight: 173 lbs
    • Total weight loss: 56 lbs

    Tell us your amazing story:

    AIDEE: I have been overweight all my life ! But I decided to take charge of my weight gain back in 2003/2004 with exercise and running specifically. I was running a minimum of 5k a day 6 days a week. I achieved a lot of success but was unable to keep it off. So I was going through the motion of weight loss and weight gain.

    Why did you choose the Keto Way of Eating ( WOE )?

    AIDEE: In February of 2016 I had a severe lower back pain and was scheduled for a surgery later that year - my doctor asked me to stop running as I was putting a lot of pressure on my spine. So I stopped running and resorted to walking and in less than 1 month, all the hard work I was putting into exercise became a "waste"! I gained back all the weight I managed to cut down. In April of 2016, A friend added me to a keto group on Facebook and this triggered off my curiosity, I did a lot of research into it; read a lot on the keto way of eating ; studied it and decided I was going to try it!

    We all know how challenging a keto diet can be. Can you tell us how you survived the first two weeks on this WOE.

    AIDEE: I think sticking to Keto requires; making up your mind to stick to it and understanding how keto works!

    How has keto changed your life?

    AIDEE: In so many ways! Apart from weight loss I have seen a lot if improvement in my overall health. My lower back pain flare up has reduced, My surgery was cancelled as my dr did not think I need it again. My severe Acid reflux has been reduced/almost existent

    Do you count your macros strictly?

    AIDEE: No

    Do you exercise? If yes, how has it impacted your success?

    AIDEE: I walk for at least 1 hour a day - weight loss I believe is dependent mostly on food exercise just compliments it.

    Did you encounter a plateau at any point in your journey? How did you tackle it?

    AIDEE: Yes - I have in the past and currently experiencing it; I don't let that deter me, I just keep doing the right things and when the scale decides to move it will :-). I try to focus on my dress size and fitting( I believe this is still the best way to determine if you are losing or gaining weight.

    How long did it take you to get visible results?

    AIDEE: I would say 3 months

    What was your motivation to stay on track and not give up?

    AIDEE: When I started fitting into smaller dress sizes 🙂

    Did you follow a meal plan strictly or Did you go freestyle?

    AIDEE: I started off following a meal plan strictly, by my second week, I was going free styled. This to me is easier than following meal plan; but then you have to know what you are doing to go free style.

    What are your top 3 meals on Keto?

    AIDEE: bacon, bacon, bacon

    What do you think contributed to your success in this WOE?

    AIDEE: My desire to succeed! I said to myself, I am going to start something and commit to it!

    Are you on the maintenance or weight loss mode?

    AIDEE: Maintenance mode

    How long did it take you to get to your target weight?

    AIDEE: It took me about 1 year + 5 months to get here. I am doing the same things but just not fasting for longer periods as I was during my weight loss phase.

    What words of wisdom would you give newbies to this way of life (WOL) to keep them motivated.

    AIDEE: Make up your mind - read and research a lot into keto way of eating (very important) stay focused, Be strategic with it plan to succeed, and remember, this is a way of life!
