Having always been overweight I just accepted it as normal for me but then my weight started creeping up even more, it was quite scary. I know that part of my weight issue is due to a tumour I had when I was 18 on my ovary and had had the football sized tumour as well as a whole ovary and part of the other removed, it interfered with my hormones.

In my teens and twenties I tried dieting but it never worked, within a few weeks I would give up and put all the weight back on and more. In my thirties I gave up dieting, diets don’t work.

More recently I have tried to make some health changes like being vegetarian or giving up wheat. I managed for 8-9 months then relapsed back to my old ways of eating.

In June 2017 I stumbled across low carb way of eating and then in January 2018 found the ketogenic way of eating. Since then I have read and listened to books and podcast about this way of eating and want to share my new found knowledge with others.
