I have issues with my knees. I would like to lose weight. I have three pets. I think I am a young soul.
I have back problems. I am an activist. I think I am an old soul.
How's your back treating you today? My back was acting up last night but is ok this morning. How are you knees holding up?  Thats good, my knees have been feeling much better since I started the KETO diet. Have you heard of it? Yes I have done it in the past when I needed to lose weight after my own knee injury a few years ago but no longer on full keto although I still eat most of the same foods. Be careful at first with your carbs as you don't want to get the keto flu Oh that's good. Glad to hear that worked for you! What's the Keto flu? That sounds scary.. A lot of people don't properly ease into it and end up feeling very weak due to the body's shock at the loss of carbs. Best to start off slow and work your way up measuring your levels. There are keto strips you can buy that will let you know when your body is in ketosis.  Oh I understand... Now that you mention it i was quite sick when I first started. It must have been the Keto flu! How long were you on the diet for? That's very cool! Where can I buy them? You can buy the strips on amazon for less than 10 bucks. I was on keto for almost a year and once I got my weight down decided to incorporate carbs back in.  That's a very long time. Did you find that you put weight back on fast after you began eating carbs again? No not really. I did not start consuming a lot of carbs as I was used to eating many of the same keto foods. However, overtime have put on some more weight but mostly in the form of muscle.  Thats great! Do you go to the gym frequently to get you muscle? Yes I used to go to the gym but now workout at home about 5 times a week. I have weights and a pull up bar.
