That day changed my life.

I had a complete hysterectomy in my late thirties and the shift in hormones lead to a 75 pound overall weight gain despite “healthy eating” and exercise. On November 20, 2014, I had met with Dr. McManus regarding my frustration and she suggested a Ketogenic way of eating. That day changed my life. After scientific research which educated me on the correct way to follow a nutritional Ketogenic way of eating. I have continued eating a Ketogenic Diet for over 3 years and have gone from 45+% Body Fat to 25%, with a goal of 20%. It is a sustainable and maintainable way of eating and has led me to continuing my education as I continue to build muscle and burn fat. –Lisa A.
