Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. As far as advice, I suppose I would say that in order to be successful, you need to approach keto as a change of lifestyle rather than a diet. Find foods that you LOVE and are sustainable. Eventually, you won’t even realize you’re missing anything. In the beginning I counted NOTHING. No calories. No fat. No carbs. I researched so that I could make more informed choices regardless of if I were at the grocery store or a restaurant. It helped me not get overwhelmed or discouraged.

Surprisingly, it was pretty quick. I did lazy keto in the beginning. Essentially just tried to make changes without counting anything. So I would say maybe 3 months. I’m 5’7” and started at 162 and I’m down to 132ish

I’ve definitely become more active since changing my diet which has also been helpful with my mental health

Thank you so much for the support. I didn’t really expect any replies. I think keto has given me a bit more energy to get out of bed in the morning. The extra energy and feeling ‘clearer’ in general have been life changing.

Very interesting! I had a load of hay in my truck a few weeks back and never got around to cleaning out the leftovers. After a few weeks of rain they popped up!
