This top doc's burger trick is so powerful, it can even help food addicts like Amy Eiges melt off up to 12 pounds a week*
Dread building, Amy found herself searching the internet for nonsurgical options. As expected, nothing new came up, certainly nothing that was a match for her nonstop urge to eat pizza, fries and baked goods. Nothing except maybe…the keto diet. Experts over the years told her Dr. Atkins was a kook, so she never tried keto. But none of those ‘experts’ helped me, she realized.
A new beginning
Amy clicked one keto link after another. It’s not kooky. It makes sense, she thought. Cutting carbs meant her blood sugar would drop and her body would fuel itself with ketones made from fat. The process was slimming and would give sugar damaged cells a chance to heal, restoring normal function. Plus ketones helped kill appetite. I should try it, she decided.
Amy found a free app to help her limit carbs to 20 grams a day. I’m supposed to focus on fat to manage my hunger, she reminded herself. It would be hard after decades of hearing that eating fat made her fat. But she was going all in: Eggs and bacon for breakfast, cold cuts and pickles for lunch, meat and buttered veggies for dinner. This feels different than my thousand other attempts. I’m already less hungry, she realized on day one. Losing 12 pounds a week also gave her hope. I’m a food addict, and surgery won’t fix that. If keto can help, I’m doing it. She canceled her surgery consultation.
Amy lost 224 lbs!
