The keto diet: Carina lost 55 pounds in six months

July 30 2018 by in Keto, Success stories

Carina had had enough of her overweight and searched the internet for a solution. Here’s her story on how she reached her goal weight with keto:

One day in November 2017, I had had enough of the number on the scale. Last time I weighed myself was about a month before I decided that enough was enough, and then the scales showed 196 lbs (89 kg).

…I have now reached my goal weight with the help of Diet Doctor’s recipes and my own creativity
I googled and realized that Diet Doctor’s program would fit me perfectly😄 I took the plunge, and went cold turkey with five days of just boiled eggs.

Wow, I saw great results just in those few days – minus 8 lbs (3.5 kg), and thereafter I have kept below 10 g carbs per day for six months. The result has been 55 lbs (22 kg) lost. I have now reached my goal weight with the help of Diet Doctor’s recipes and my own creativity with their recipes as a base. I am super happy!❤️

Best, Carina
