Try cutting carbs.  I believe our bodies are a little different in how we respond to different mixes of diets.

I also believe if any of us eat mostly fresh vegetables and fruit then we will have a healthy diet and we don’t have to worry about being overweight.  How old are you Alexandra?  As we age, our metabolism slows down.

I totally get you about how hard it can be cutting out carbs.  The other thing you may want to avoid is processed foods.

What is the job you are doing now that is not so active?

I’ve always worked desk office jobs.  There are little things you can do that helps during the day such as taking walking breaks often.

Ally,

Processed foods basically are anything that comes packaged.  Things that come out of the ground or off trees and onto your plate or in your pot are not processed.  Processed are what food companies do when they take those fruits and vegetables and then cook them, run them through machines; add vitamins, minerals, and chemicals to them; and put them on the shelf or freezer where they can last for months if not years sitting there.

Cool that you are a vet nurse.  Do you have your own pets?

Those dogs are beautiful!  Walking/running your dog is good exercise.  If you have time then try extending your walks and/or having more walks.

I have a sweet mutt I got from the Humane Society when he was 4.  He is now 10.

They told me that Bodhi is a Blue Heeler mix but he looks more like a German Short Hair Pointer.  I think the Blue Heeler part is the coloring of black with white speckles.

Thanks Chelsea :-).

I like how you shared about your experience with the Keto approach.  I was toying with several kinds of diets and your testimonial on how easy it was to do made me want to try it.
