After She had ALREADY lost 80 pounds on Keto… and was only 20 pounds from reaching her goal weight.
Starting Keto
So, you ’ve decided the keto diet is the plan for you, and you’re eager to get started. It’s worth a try. But it can be tough to jump straight into a low-carb, high-fat way of eating when the diet of most Americans is high in carbs and processed foods, which are definitely on the keto no-go list. So, you wisely take the time to get prepared before you go full-on keto. You research on Google but find that you are still uncertain the best way to start. Eventually, the concept of Keto starts to make sense, so you decide to follow the very basic Keto daily macronutrient guidelines: 75% healthy fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. You download an app to track your food and off you go! You quickly learn there are carbs in everything and you begin to pay close attention.
This isn’t a bad way to start and you gain a lot in the process. You educate yourself, you become familiar with Keto and Keto foods. You become conscientious about the foods you eat, the qualify of the nutrients and you learn when you are hungry, and when you are not, you learn about your eating habits and embrace the fact you have been living with “carb addiction”. This is just the tip of the iceberg. So much happens the first few months of Keto. The most exciting part is you LOSE WEIGHT and your clothes no longer fit. Your energy increases, your mind is sharper, you are no longer inflamed or in pain and your self-esteem improves. These are some of the most common and rewarding benefits of the Keto diet in the beginning few months. Life starts to look up.
Then something unbelievable happens, despite your best efforts, the weight loss STOPS. You keep doing what you were doing, and it no longer works. You are so frustrated because you can’t figure out what’s wrong. It was working perfectly before. You aren’t ready to give up on Keto, not yet, because you know it works.
When Do You Hire a Keto Coach?
This is the perfect time to hire a Keto Coach and it seems to be when many of my clients find me. They hire me to fine-tune, customize and bring their Keto to a new level. They want to reach their goal weight. They want to know what to do different.
This is exactly where my client Tina — from Virginia — found herself after living the Keto lifestyle for 2 years. She’s lost an unbelievable 80 pounds. She came to me looking for answers and didn’t know what to do after living through a weight loss stall of 3 months. All she wanted to do was reach her goal weight and lose that final 20 pounds. She hadn’t “cheated” or stopped Keto so it was all very frustrating. She didn’t want to give up and knew she needed nuanced guidance to help to get her there.

The Other Side of a Stall from Someone Living It
Tina said, “I can’t believe I’ve made just a few adjustments thanks to Keto is Easy Coach and feel so much better about what I’m doing. It’s so nice to have someone to talk to and help me instead of me trying to figure it out by myself like I’ve done the past few years. And, the fact that the scales have dropped 9 pounds this first week is just the icing on the cake. I feel like I’m finally getting Keto at a whole new level. To say I’m ecstatic is an understatement.”
If you find yourself stalled, stuck or frustrated but still believe in your Keto dream of having the body you deserve, you are outcome focused and simply won’t give up. I have all the faith that with guidance you can get there. Because you aren’t going to settle and want to live your life fully. I applaud you. I’m here for you.
