Well, a year and a half low carb/keto. I wonder when I’ll stop counting?? In some ways, it seems like yesterday that I saw that first facebook post that sent me off in this direction. It was a life-changing moment. In other ways, it’s starting to feel like ....
Thinking back to my last birthday, I felt pretty bummed about turning 60. I had been eating low carb for only a couple of months and had lost about twenty pounds. I was happy but I wanted cake. Real cake. So I had real cake from Incredibly Delicious. And...
A whole year of keto living. I have to send out a huge thank you to Ketogenic Success. To Brian and Mary, to all the administrators, and to each and every one of the members who posted a before & after picture, a recipe, a question: thank you...

Well, here we are at the 6-month point and we’re still going StRoNg! Meaning this is something we can live with and trust. Mark is feeling much much better and we’re looking forward to new lab work in a couple of months. It’s certainly a different feeling to be...
Happy Birthday to Mark, aka the best husband in the whole wide world! I am so proud of him–this low-carb-high-fat way of life has taken his beloved potatoes and bread away but he’s seeing amazing results. His A1C is down by a third, he’s gotten off two long-term meds,...
