A Vital Weight Loss

“I have now lowered my chances by 85%!”

Meet Kim! We’re honored to have her tell her personal story today of how Keto might just have saved her life.

“I’m Kim, I’ve lost 40lbs in one year on the Keto diet. I’ve always struggled with my weight, even more so after my 3 children. 

Reality really struck me at my heaviest when I found I was BRCA 1+ Gene Positive for Breast & Ovarian cancer. A month after I found out I carried this gene, my sister was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I was now at an 85% risk of developing the same. 

I found out by my doctor that I could take precautious measures by getting a mastectomy to lower my risks. June of last year I was told to lose 25 to 30 pounds in order for me to receive this surgery because the risk of something going wrong are a lot higher when you’re overweight. A couple months later I came across information about the keto diet from a friend in Nov of 2018, she made it sound so simple, informing me that I would have to stop consuming carbs and sugars. 

Sure enough I caught onto it quite quickly and immediately fell in love with this lifestyle. I am human and I do tend to have my treat days, but I always get right back on track. Thanks to keto after losing 40 lbs I was able to get my mastectomy & reconstruction surgery Nov 14th 2019 and I am currently recovering. I have now lowered my chances by 85%! I encourage everyone over 18 yrs old to get genetic testing done if any type of cancer runs in your family.”
