Why Did I Start a Ketogenic Diet?
The story starts a few years ago when I had eczema on my legs and no matter what I tried, I could not get it to clear up
So the search began.......I started with following a couple of people online however it soon become apparent that low fat was not the way to go
Then my husband had a Stroke so now the solution was urgent
I researched his medication and diet night after night to find the answer
Funnily enough after we had a couple of visits to the doctor, his medication was reduced from 9 tablets per day to 5 and then eventually to 3 (They were "experimenting" to see what suited)
Then I discovered juicing and followed this for a couple of years, however my blood pressure was 'sky high' (I now know I was having too much sugar from the fruit)
Finally I went to a herbalist who suggested a low carb diet and explained the health benefits, I have followed this ever since off and on, eczema gone, blood pressure normal
I have done a lot of research regarding the Ketogenic way of eating (WOE) and it's amazing what I am learning, definitely the one for me
