Three days in and im down 4 lbs!!

When I downloaded this book  in exchange for my honest review, i thought I was getting myself into a world of hurt but three days into the diet and my body is detoxing like crazy!  In fact, I have lost 4 pounds!!!  If you follow the diet and the book exactly it's amazing.  An additional suggestion I wish to add is combining essential oils has really helped with sugar cravings.  I blend grapefruit or vanilla extracts with my water and it really hits the spot.  Diffusing lemon when you're thinking about carbs and sugars is also great, it snaps me right back into the diet!

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures.

What I find really helpful is being able to measure my ketosis levels anytime of the day.  If you get ketone strips, you can test your own urine and measure if your body is burning fat!  As a huge believer in doing things that are measurable, this proves the diet is working for me.  No more of that unknowing feeling like I'm dieting but not sure if it's working.  Finally!

I really love this health plan!!  I have already lost 15 lbs in 3 wks using this plan!!  You do have to make life changes by changing your eating habits to keep the weight loss off.  I haven't felt so good since I was a young kid in school!!  I didn't work out at all and just by changing my eating habits and taking the right supplements, I lost weight and I feel great!!  Now I am starting a 30 minute a wk workout program designed by the same authors with the help of a fitness expert and I hope to lose more and tone my body!!

I have not finished the book and have only lost 4 pounds so far however, I have never felt so satisfied as I have with this diet.  I am still struggling a little bit with no sugar in my diet  but I know that will pass.  All the recipes I have tried are very good and the Zero Belly cookies are delicious and very easy to make!  Even If I don't loose my weight as fast as some have I am very happy with my new eating habits.

I stuck with this for the whole 30 days. I lost 5 lbs the first week. This eating plan is awesome! I felt better. I was not as puffy around my stomach area. I am starting it again after two weeks being off of the whole 30. Monday my husband and a friend are going to commit to another 30 days. This is the best eating plan I have ever done. It is very easy to stick to. The recipes in the book are awesome!

OK, it is healthier and all that, but wow! The recipes are fabulous, I'm fitting into clothes I have not in ten+ years, and after the terrible threesome holidays have been cheating daily but not quite enough to tip the scales against me ... but the BEST part of this plan is that I'm just not ravenously hungry all the time like I used to be. The first couple weeks were  weird, no worse than the first few weeks of kicking anything else but not a whole lot easier either - but worth it!! I am enjoying the freedom from sugar addiction!

I did follow the program for 3 weeks and did lose about 4 pounds, which wasn't too good, but I did lose
quite a bit around my belly.  I am wearing pants that 3 weeks ago were very tight.  So, I am pretty happy.
I probably only had 9 pounds to lose totally, so realize I won't lose weight easily.
 it was helpful to realize some of the foods I eat and drink every day contained way more sugar than I thought.
The big one for me, was milk.  Who knew a glass had 12 grams of sugar.  I would easily drink 2 glasses a day
and sometimes 3..wow what a wakeup call.

Great read and I am on day 30 and can't tell you how excited I am!  I got into this bc of my wretched eczema.  I want trying to lose weight (although, let's face it, that's a bonus). I just want my eczema gone.  So here's what has happened in a month:  I've lost 10 pounds.  My eczema is still there, so I am going for allergy tests going in knowing what I've already eliminated.  This is gross, but I'm far less gassy!  I used to have very bad gas and bloating and if I'm being honest, it smelled bad!  Now I have very little gas and way fewer tummy troubles.  I think that's the best part.  I've spend 39 years just being used to being gassy and uncomfortable that you don't really pay that much attention to it.  You're used to it.  Now I know what it feels like to not be bloated and gassy and I'm a little afraid to go back.  The awesome part about the whole 30 is that they talk you through that whole adding foods back in and you can determine what was giving you trouble.  Was it my daily glasses of milk and copious amounts of cheese?  Or my love of bread?  Now, there is a downfall here.  The second day, I wanted to die.  I never realized that you could be addicted to sugar but I was and withdrawal from all the sugar I was used to was wretched.  I layed on the couch most of the day, headache, stomach ache, loose stool.  I'm scared to reintroduce sugar and becoming addicted again bc I don't ever want to have to go through that withdrawal ever again.  Ugh.

Today is only my third day on this plan. I am crawling the walls all day. I gave this book 4 stars because I truly believe that this can work for me with time. I am finding it really hard to find foods to satisfy me all day  long. The reward meal ofcourse, has not been a problem! I think that if I  look at another salad, I will puke! Help, anyone out there - email me with  ideas for food variety during they day - especially breakfast time.

Have lost 20 pounds in the first 4 weeks!  What's so amazing is that I lost cravings for sweets in just a few days.  Slept and 8 hour night within the first week (that had not happened in more than 23 years).  I am saving money too, I make my lunch and take it with me every day.  I know that my body is being nourished. This is not a "diet" for me.  This is a choice for a healthy life.  Bon Appetit!!

If you have been struggling with losing weight you must buy this book.  I have been maintaining the same weight for months and months and months.  I was so frustrated, I saw this book featured on Dr. Oz, I downloaded it and I must say this was one of the best decisions ever!!!!!! In 4 weeks I have lost 13 pounds and let me say I am one of those people who BEFORE this book struggled with losing weight.  Now the fat is burning away :-).  One thing, if you don't like cooking it will take some getting use to but by week 2 I found it easy.  Be VICTORIOUS and buy this book.

I have been trying to eat healthy and exercise lately. I have been meal prepping every Sunday, and every Thursday. I was doing well on separating my vegetables and beans and such just from what the serving sizes were listed on the containers. Meat however, I was just guessing on. I really wanted to be able to get my EXACT ounces on the food that I was eating and not just play the guessing game. I found this thing at a discount for my honest review, and I decided why not! I am happy that I did however. I now see that I was eating way more than I should have been, and that may be why I have been stuck at this awful plateau. Maybe now I will finally lose those last few pounds. I did the test of putting a dollar on the scale after I made sure that it was zeroed out. It weighed exactly 1.0 gram. It was on the dot! Exactly what is was supposed to be! I will be using this every time that I meal prep! Healthy lifestyle here I come!
If this review was of any help please be sure to select the yes button :) Thanks!!

I just started this diet on Monday and have already lost 4 lbs.  I have been stuck on the last 10 lbs. to lose for so very long...and this sure does look like the ticket to get where I want to be...just like one of the ladies on the show said the other day, this is so easy I may just want to lower my original goal weight and lose just a little more!!!!  Thank you, Dr. Travis...........
