Keto for Health & Fitness
As a teenager, I was very slim naturally. But as I stepped into my mid-twenties, the years of living a gigging musician's unhealthy life, with excessive drinking, zero knowledge of nutrition (I didn't even know what "carbs" were), I gained about 22 pounds. Which wasn't pretty on my tiny petite frame. I ate the same amounts as my 5'10" boyfriend and drank nearly as much wine. My exercise regime was made up of dancing on stage during the gigs. As I entered my 30s, I started to feel like I had lost myself. Not that being slim is the be all and end all, but I felt my confidence levels weren't there. I started to feel sluggish, I was constantly tired, and I'd throw my back out whenever I tried picking up an object heavier than ten pounds. So I started looking for "diets." I tried every diet in the books:

There are always fad diets every year that people seem to go crazy for, from weight loss pills, magic drinks, needles, and much more. Elimination diets are trendy and very unsustainable for most people. Ketogenic diet or lifestyle is a type of elimination diet but also so much more. Similar to the Atkin's Diet, Ketogenic diet restricts carbs, to send your body into a state of Ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state that occurs when your body can no longer burn glucose for fuel. Glucose is sugar; carbohydrates break down into sugars that your body can use for energy. When there is no glucose from restricting carbs and sugar, your body will produce ketones. This state will break down fat in your body and start using fat for fuel.

Benefits of a Vegan Diet. Top Story - January 2018.
I’ve gone back and forth with myself about whether to write this or not, when I was given the subject I was excited. But I very quickly reclined and have been putting it off for over a month now. The reason? I don’t want the backlash that comes from it. Isn’t that funny? I can write openly about my sex life and intimate details of my relationship, but I am worried about the backlash from writing about what I choose to eat?!

Healthy Living vs Dieting
Everyone gets to the point where they know they need to make a change. For me, I know that I need to be healthy. I need to know that one day I will wake up and be better. Of course, it doesn't happen overnight. You can't just decide cold turkey that you are going to give up on food completely. But it takes time. And lots of planning. And even more water. Water. Water. WATER.
