I am an overweight type 1 diabetic and mother of 2. My second pregnancy almost killed me. I gained 60 pounds following their diet and due to complications - absolutely no exercise. I was horrified to have reached my all time high weight of 305. I lost 30 pounds the first year following the pregnancy and stalled since no diets have ever worked for me. I was depressed, had no energy and found it difficult to take care of my kids let alone myself. Someone introduced me to the keto plan the next year and not only did I lose another 52 pounds but I suddenly had more energy than I've had since I was a kid, could actually play with my kids and take care of the housework! I still have a long ways to go but I feel good and confident about it. One of the best parts is how easy it is to control my blood sugar. I will always be diabetic but I've gotten off the out of control roller coaster and have never been better.
