THE “ETERNAL SONG” OF LOSING WEIGHT:

I have always struggled with my weight. There were phases when I was doing quite well, but these were usually accompanied by longer periods when I felt uncomfortable in my body. I have tried countless diets: Calorie counting, points systems, low-carb variants — everything I was promised, from quick success to sustainable weight loss. But it was the same every time: A few kilos down at first, then the yo-yo effect, frustration, and in the end I weighed even more than before.

I still remember the many disappointments. Looking in the mirror was a constant battle. I felt flabby, listless and felt like I was constantly fighting against my body. The many prohibitions, the strict rules — they all made me stop at some point. The motivation was simply gone. Food became the enemy, not a source of energy and pleasure.

I had the feeling that I had tried everything. I was desperate. Then I came across the ketogenic diet. To be honest, I was sceptical. Another diet? But the reports and the many positive experiences online piqued my curiosity.

The following is described here:

This e-book (FREE), “40 Days of Non-Stop Energy & Weight Loss”, promotes a 40-day keto diet. It promises weight loss and increased energy levels through a detailed plan of daily meals, workouts and mindfulness exercises. The focus is on ketosis as the body’s natural fat-burning mechanism. In addition, resources are recommended to improve wellbeing and positive lifestyle choices.

The approach of drastically reducing carbohydrates and focussing on fat instead sounded different. It was not simply a matter of doing without, but of changing the entire metabolism.

It’s been a few weeks now, and I have to say I’m surprised. It’s not easy, but I can feel a difference. The cravings I used to have are much less. I feel more energised, even though I’m eating less sugar. I’m excited to see what happens next and, of course, hope that I can finally reach my desired weight. But one thing is already clear: keto is different. It’s not a short-term diet trick, but a change in diet that will hopefully help me in the long term. Only time will tell if it’s the breakthrough I’ve been waiting for, but at the moment I’m positive.
