‘Within ten days on the keto diet, I started feeling light’

Udai had black eczema patches, trouble sleeping, and was often too tired to play with his kids. He was shocked to find his neighbor totally transform himself and had to know how he had done it.
Udai decided to give the keto diet a try and had amazing results. He went from 231 pounds (105 kilos) to 160 pounds (73 kilos) in just three months! Read his story:
Udai’s story
I was shocked when I saw my neighbor who had totally transformed himself by losing weight and dropping many sizes, and when I asked him what his secret was, he referred to the ‘keto diet.’ Not knowing what the diet was all about, I started my research. My biggest challenge was being vegetarian (no eggs either), which limited me to only a few recipes.
My main job requires sitting in an office all day, and I never enjoyed playing with my kids as I would get tired very soon. My sleep was very poor, and I was restless. I had eczema black patches on my legs. I was not active and would take long naps over the weekends. I also had shortness of breath.
While I continued researching and learning about keto, I found Diet Doctor’s website and videos, and I would watch them repeatedly. I was highly impressed at how they explain the concept of intermittent fasting and how the body runs on “clean” fuel when you’re in ketosis.
Within ten days of starting the keto diet, I started feeling light, and I was motivated to see the number on the scale going down. My energy level increased. My sleep got better day by day, and remember I mentioned I had eczema black patches…? they are gone… yes, there are no scars at all.
You can find many resources on the internet but having the right discipline and following it honestly is the key. Losing pounds every week kept me highly motivated.
The videos are so simple, short, and scientific that anybody can easily understand and apply them. I also followed recipe channels to get ideas, and today I am three months running on clean fuel and don’t crave sugar at all.
My waist size dropped from 40 inches (102 cm) to 32 inches (81 cm). I had to redo my clothes wardrobe, and I was happy spending money on new clothes which I enjoy wearing now, all while still losing pounds.
My skin has improved so much that people are straight-up telling me that I look 15 years younger – thanks to the Diet Doctor website.I have inspired so many people around me, bringing so much positive energy everywhere.
I highly recommend all my family and friends to listen to and follow Diet Doctor.

I started keto yesterday. I only have 20 pounds to lose and I lost one pound. I did not starve or crave sugar.
Membership is optional and gives access to many other advantages for an affordable fee.
One of my male patients lost about the same weight in the same period of time as well, so I do not find this all too amazing.
Consider loss of water. Consider that for men it’s easier within the first 3 months, as there is less hormonal readjustments. Consider his age (I would guess anywhere between 40 and 50). And last not least, if he reduced the overall fat-intake quickly after hitting ketosis, thus tapping into his own stored bodyfat instead of getting energy from 5 cups bulletproof coffee each day and heaps of butter... Well, I do not have any difficulty in believing Udai’s weight loss.
your exercise regime might in fact be the reason for your slower weight loss, basically due to two reasons.
The first is trivial - you might have lost fat, but gained muscle (which compared volume-wise is heavier; meaning 1 litre muscle weighs more than 1 litre fat). You might also have gained bone mass. Depending on your age and previous exercise routine, it might have been in an osteopenic or even osteoporotic stage, and the body prefers to heal you before it chooses to make you leaner, which makes sense obviously.
The second reason that comes to mind is, that you have a high stress level (sleep deprivation, some medical condition, excessive exercise), which will raise your cortisone drastically, and that might not only block weight loss, you might on occasion even gain weight, even while you could be fasting.
look through my last comments please.
What do you eat on a typical day? Are you female? Previously a lot of low-calorie diets? Menopause yet?
All of this and more can have an impact.
I usually beg my female patients to stick to this for at least 3 months, as usually that is a time where they start seeing results, as opposed to men.
Yes, definitely! You can try with our free 2 week getting started challenge.
