Changing my diet / way of eating.

Up until 2 1/2 years ago I ate the "standard American diet" of fast food, sodas, lots of breads, pastas and sugary foods. At 5'2" I weighed 162 lbs, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, allergies and no energy.

In February 2013 I made the switch to a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet (it's called Keto, very similar to the early phase of Atkins...). I lost weight immediately (currently at 114lbs), my blood pressure lowered, my cholesterol went up temporarily as I lost the weight but is now greatly improved, my allergies are gone and I have more energy than I would have believed possible. And BACON all the time!

Getting the carbs and sugars out of my body and using healthy fat as a fuel honestly changed my life.
