From 22 August to 22 October, I followed the keto diet very properly. I hardly did any cheating, only 2–3 cheat days and I lost around 14 kg. For me, this is a very big achievement. I never thought that at this stage of my life, I would be able to do this. I am also thankful to my family who supported me in my weight loss journey.
To achieve anything, discipline is very important. That is the main thing in keto, you have to control yourself. I am a big foodie, but even when my favourite delicious foods were in front of me, they couldnt tempt me. I strictly followed my diet. It is also a mental test. You have to control your cravings and manage the urges your brain sends. Keto doesnt only help with weight loss your mind becomes more active, your body feels stronger, and eating eggs and meat daily gives a different kind of energy.
The reason I started keto was because I had body pains, difficulty sitting and standing, and muscle cramps. I am free from all those issues now. I feel really good, especially when my old clothes which had become very tight, fit me again. It feels amazing and makes me very happy.
I wanted to continue keto for one more month, but I had to stop after two months because my mother felt I was becoming too thin. She told me that it is enough now, stop keto and start eating normally but with control, otherwise if I lose more weight, I will look too skinny. She said even now I look too thin.
I enjoyed keto a lot. I even attended wedding events and ate only chicken there. No roti, no rice. People were surprised seeing someone eating just chicken pieces. My close friends already knew, so whenever we went out, I ate grilled chicken or beef only.
Whether 10 years ago or now, keto has always given me great results. I thought maybe this time the results would not be as good, but the same excitement and daily motivation of seeing my weight drop kept me going. Now my weight is 92 kg, on 21 August it was 105 kg. I am very happy that I succeeded in my plan and lost good weight. If any of you want to lose weight, you can comment and ask me for the plan.
