Discover the 'super salt' secret helping women like Carol blast fat and drop up to 22 lbs in 14 days*
As months passed, Carol very slowly began to improve. With help from her husband, Bob, and an amazing rehab team, she rebuilt some of her strength. Doctors encouraged her to begin losing weight, saying it would speed her progress. So when a Facebook pal posted about the keto diet, Carol took note. “She lost 20 pounds in just two weeks,” Carol shared with Bob. “Maybe I could do that.”
In the past, Carol had occasionally shed 10 or 20 pounds, but she could only fight her constant urges to snack for so long. She would go back to old habits, easily polishing off bags of chips or candy between meals. This says keto helps with hunger and cravings, she noted as she did research on her laptop. She also read that if she cut carbs enough, her body basically would be forced to start turning fat into energy. That’s exactly what I need, Carol thought, jotting down a low-carb grocery list.
From a size 26 to a 10!
When North Carolina retiree Carol Ubertaccio-Hathaway first began using a keto diet to slim down, “I was pretty miserable,” she recalls. “I was crushing my goals for the first time ever, but instead of lifting my spirits, it had the opposite effect.” When she first tried exogenous ketones, she’d read that they might help fuel and soothe her brain. “But I was really surprised how big a difference I felt. It was like a storm cloud over my head disappeared—and I could finally get excited about all the progress I was making.” All told, Carol, now 63, shrunk her waist by 15 inches!
