30 Days on Keto: My Weight Loss Journey and Results.
I’ve heard a lot about the keto diet—how it promotes weight loss by shifting the body from burning carbs to burning fat for fuel. After months of considering it, I decided to commit to 30 days of keto.
The first week was rough. I went from a diet high in carbohydrates—pasta, bread, and sugary snacks—to nearly cutting them all out. The initial withdrawal was intense: I felt sluggish, irritable, and constantly hungry.
My body was used to using carbs as its main energy source, and without them, it had to adapt. But I knew this “keto flu” was temporary, so I pushed through, keeping my meals full of healthy fats, proteins, and low-carb vegetables.
By the second week, I started feeling better. The carb cravings were less intense, and my energy levels began to stabilize. I began to see small changes in my body—my clothes felt slightly looser, and I felt fuller after meals.
I didn’t feel as sluggish after meals, and I had more sustained energy throughout the day. I also noticed that I was starting to drop some weight, particularly around my belly, which was motivating.
In the third week, something clicked. My body was officially in ketosis, the state where it burns fat for fuel. I felt more energized and less hungry throughout the day.
My mind was clearer, and I didn’t experience the typical afternoon slump. The weight continued to melt off, especially in the areas I struggled with before: my hips and thighs.
By the end of 30 days, I had lost several pounds, my body felt leaner, and I was amazed at how quickly my body had adapted to the keto lifestyle. I had more energy, and my cravings for sugar and carbs were gone.
