“Today is my and my husband’s one year anniversary. I’m trying to recall all the victories. He has dropped 60+ pounds, his eye prescription improved, off all meds except Armour thyroid, plays golf again, climbs the stairs without old man noises, walks the dogs and rides his bike again. He can wear his wedding ring for the first time in over a decade. Mentally he is sharper has taken charge in all areas of his life.

I started with him as an accountability partner, because I’m the one who cooks, and because my blood sugars were creeping up. I wasn’t overweight, just over-fatted and metabolically, my body did not like it. My A1c dropped to 5.1, my Armour thyroid was cut to 1/3 of my previous dose, I dropped 20 lbs, two shirt sizes and one pant size.

The absolute best thing is that I don’t feel like I have to have a nap after I eat. I did not realize the toll that was taking on me. My eyesight has improved to the point I can now where contacts (even if they are custom). Neither one of us has chosen to cheat one single time; we feel too good to ever do that. The changes we’ve made have inspired one of my kids to join us (hopefully the other one will soon) and two family members. I consider it a great blessing to have been lead to Craig and Maria Emmerich right out of the gate. We’ve been so blessed by their time, energies and efforts for this cause, we’ve never even looked elsewhere for guidance. I’ve listened to others, but consider the Emmerich’s my cornerstone. I’ve included a pic of the hubs, but I don’t have one of me since I’m always behind the camera. 

Keto on friends! It is worth every single effort.

P.S. For our anniversary, we bought an ice cream maker. Rebel costs $6 per pint. I made a pint of Maria’s Strawberries and Cream for $1.19!” – Beth
