Dawn’s story
I was formerly a WeightWatchers leader, I had a weight control/colour and image franchise and I also lost 8 stones in 8.5 months on LighterLife.
Unfortunately I was a yo-yo dieter, an emotional eater, so as much as I lost weight I would gain weight back again. I felt I didn’t have the support at the time that I needed and I had very little understanding of food and nutrition.
I had spent my whole adult life on a diet constantly struggling. This time I was looking for something that wasn’t a quick fix and would also help me to heal my body, I am a type 2 diabetic. I’ve been doing Keto since 2019 with a very dirty/slow start but I’ve lost over 3.5 stones so far.
Through my journey I’ve now become very interested in psychology relating to weight, diet & life etc. I now have a better understanding of how different types of food impacts my body, my diabetes and my mental health.
I enjoy the variety of food I can have on Keto whilst finally feeling in control. My brain fog has lifted, I’m in less pain with my achy joints, I don’t feel constant hunger, I just feel so much better both physically and mentally. I have more confidence which has enabled me to do more things, I even dabble in weightlifting amongst other things which I would never have dreamed possible after turning 60!
Keto has finally given me a healthy relationship with food and with myself.
