Start a Keto Diet

Wondering how to start a keto diet? The first steps can feel overwhelming, I know! I’d like to give you a warm welcome to ketosis-land. I’m Stephanie Laska, USA Today bestselling author and creator of DIRTY, LAZY, KETO. I lost 140 pounds and have kept that weight off now for almost a decade. My life’s passion is to help as many people as I can start a keto diet and lose weight… just like I did!

 

Start a Keto Diet?

I discovered this way of eating by accident. I wasn’t looking to start a keto diet specifically. I weighed close to 300 pounds and had given up all hope. I had always been overweight. I expected that would never change! Maybe I was in denial, but I thought “diets didn’t work for me”. Over the years, I had tried every weight loss program on the plant – and failed every single time.

My Surprising Motivation

The turning point in my weight loss journey wasn’t glamorous. Rather, it was downright embarrassing. I was on a plane, traveling alone for work when I realized that the seatbelt wouldn’t close. My stomach was just too large! I had no idea that my weight had gotten “that bad”. I felt absolutely mortified. Instead of asking for help, I hid the unclosed seatbelt from the flight attendant. I covered my lap with my jacket and pretended to be asleep.

That moment sparked something deep inside of me I thought was gone. I knew it was time to make a change! Did I know exactly what to do next? No, that took some time for me to figure out. But over time, with a lot of experimentation, I found a way to lose weight that seemed, well, a bit… unconventional.

I learned I had to break the rules of conventional dieting in order to be successful at losing weight. Call me a keto weight loss rebel if you want to, but eventually, I discovered a way of eating that led me to lose 140 pounds. I lost about 10 pounds a month for a year and a half straight. The surprising part? It wasn’t that hard.

Eventually, I came out of the shadows and started talking about my weight loss transformation. I was surprised to find talking and writing about my problems felt healing. Soon after, I took a leap of faith and began to share what ketosis and a low carb diet could do to help others. The response was overwhelming.
