But at age 59, it was hard to even imagine that I could make such a drastic transformation at that stage of my life.
It Wasn’t Until I Stumbled upon the Ketogenic Diet That I Finally Had Some Hope.
The results other people were getting from it were very encouraging to me. I thought, this might actually work for me…
So I decided to learn everything I could about the “ins and outs” of the keto diet and how the body forces itself to burn away fat by producing ketones from not having too many carbs.
I gave the keto diet a try, and in just a few short weeks, I lost 21 pounds.
But I had one major weakness…
My Love For Sweets & Desserts
My wife is an incredible baker and our home is always filled with the smell of delicious sweets that have you coming back for more every time.
The time came when the temptation was too strong, and I couldn’t resist anymore…
I began to sneak sweets throughout the day
It was like I couldn’t help myself. My cravings were rampant, and I couldn’t control them.
Anyone on keto knows that sugar is the last thing you should eat if you want to keep your body consistently in ketosis.
I was repeatedly rebounding back and forth between gaining weight and losing it depending on whether I could control my cravings.
It was a nightmare…
I wanted to give up and just eat whatever I wanted. I didn’t care if I was going to lose all the progress that I spent months trying to achieve.
Being over the age of 50, the rebound weight gain effect hit me hard…
And in half the time it took me to lose that weight, I gained it all back and felt like I aged another 20 years.
I was ready to give up all hope.
