I Tried The Keto Diet to Lose Weight Quickly, I Ended Up Loving It
After months of bad stress eating habits, the keto diet made me feel alive again, just in time for my wedding.
Like everyone, I’ve been hearing a lot of things about adopting a keto diet. I’ve heard good things, bad things, concerns, gurus… I had no idea what to think about this diet. After all, it was like any other diet, it got trendy until someone proves that it was doing crazy stuff to your body.
I got married on the 21st of June. So naturally, in early June, I tried on my fancy button-down shirt and navy blue wool jacket that I only wear for special occasions. But here is what happened: all these months of stress eating, heavy drinking, traveling, staying in the United States (while I’m from France) had significant consequences on my body. I wasn’t like crazy fat or anything. I was unhealthy, I didn’t fit properly in my clothes, and I could not close my jacket. Trust me, that was a shock.
The problem was, I had less than three weeks to either: lose weight and get healthy, or to buy another expensive suit so my body, that I was profoundly disliking, could fit into it. The latter option did not seem ideal. I didn’t want my new body to become my new norm. And if I were to lose weight eventually, I didn’t…
