I know, because that’s exactly what happened to me.
I lost 21 pounds on the ketogenic diet….
And then I gained it all back because I couldn’t take it anymore…
The results other people were getting from it were very encouraging to me. I thought, this might actually work for me…
So I decided to learn more about how the body forces itself to burn away fat by producing ketones from not having too many carbs as part of the diet.
The results were encouraging at first…
Int the first weeks into the diet, I lost 21 pounds…
However, forgot that I had one major weakness that was about to derail all the efforts that I had put in all these weeks. My love for sweets and desserts…
I was repeatedly rebounding back and forth on the scale, like a yoyo, losing weight and gaining more weight, depending on whether I could control my cravings.
I felt like giving up on the diet and just eat whatever I wanted. At that point in time, I couldn’t care about all the efforts and that I had already put in all these months to reach this stage.
Being over the age of 50, the rebound weight gain effect hit my body pretty hard…
And in half the time it took me to lose that weight, I gained it all back and felt like I had aged another 20 years…

She explained how she was able to find zero-carb alternatives to sugar that worked just as well as processed sugar and found alternatives for flour, grains and any other artificial ingredients that are added to traditional desserts.
