ABOUT CHRISTY

• I am a stay-at-home mom with a bunch of different jobs
• I am 43 years old
• I have lost over a 110 pounds over keto
• I have learned to live differently and make better or life choices now
  
• I started on September 25th, 2018
• It came off really fast. From October to January, there was a 60 Lb. difference
• After that, it slowed down and I took slowly and I was totally okay with that

HOW DID YOU FIND KETO

• Probably for the last 20 years, I have done some low-carb thing on and off, unsuccessfully
• One time it was successful but gained it all back and I started hearing about keto and I looked it up
• Everything on the website tells was so confusing. I did not understand any of the terms and it was probably for 6 months that I have researched it
• I have a Facebook group that was super strict but they explain everything in a way a normal person can understand it
• I started there, I started super strict and I never stopped
• I am very grateful for that group and I just read everything
  
• I was done being unhealthy and I was done with being a bad role model for my kids and I was done with being unhappy
• I just made up the choice, the decision to finally get myself together
• I stayed on track and I don’t carb cycle now
• The difference this time too when I started Keto was I cut out dairy
• I would do low-carb before and I would eat all the cheese
• Right now, I am doing carnivore
• I do carnivore Monday through Friday and I am not having dairy with carnivore
• Now, even when I eat cheese and fit my macro, I stall
• Carnivore helps with your muscle growth and I am still learning about it right now because I have been focusing with keto
  
• I started going to the gym last November of 2018
• I was going 7 days a week and I just started out slow so I did hit a plateau yet
• When I started adding in the weights, that’s when the scale stop moving
• I stop weighing and started doing measurements
• I can feel and see the difference
• I don’t put my hopes and happiness on the scale
• When I was 16, I was wearing a size 3-5 and I weigh 150 and I am 5’6 tall
• You can’t go off the numbers
• I always weighed heavy so I can compare myself to others
• Which is why I don’t put the weight out there because the number doesn’t matter

ADVICE

• Such a cliche, but trust the process
• Don’t give up because just because the scale is not moving
• As long as you’re hitting you macros, hitting you protein, staying under 20 carbs, it going to work
  
• With vegetables, I do net and it’s not that often
• When I am not doing carnivore, I am still staying low-carb
• One of my favorite for lunch is chicken nachos
• I slice the chicken breast so they are in chip size slices, and I top it with guacamole, a little cheese and a hot sauce
  
• I make keto granola, low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free
• It has 1 net carb per serving, 8 ounces in each bag – 8 serving per bag and it is made from clean ingredients
• I have a couple of flavors too that is not like most of the granola
• People can order it through my Facebook page: eat keto love
• My website is still not up but you can order there once it’s up (eatketolovegranola.com)
• Currently, I made 8 different flavors but I cycle flavors
  
• I am still lifting weights, but I have to take a break first because I injured myself
• I keep pushing myself and I end up hurting myself
• I use to do a bunch of cardio and my trainer told me to stop doing it and he gave me a workout with dumbbells
