Suzanne Ryan - Simply Keto: A Practical Approach to Health & Weight Loss, with 100+ Easy Low-Carb Recipes

Introduction

Before I started the ketogenic diet in 2015, I did a lot of research, yet I was still confused about several topics. Youll soon find out that although there are some standard ideologies with the keto lifestyle, there are also a lotof gray areas. Lets face it, life just isnt black and white. Every person is different. Therefore, its important to learn as much as you can and then decide which approach is the best and most livable one for you.

My goal in this book is to guide and encourage you through the ins and outs of keto in an easy-to-understand format. The last thing anyone needs when starting a new lifestyle is to feel overwhelmed or intimidated, hence Simply Keto.

But first, I want you to know that if you are struggling with your weight and feeling down, unsure about your ability to succeed, or just flat-out frustrated, I get you! I know how deeply that kind of emotional pain can hurt. One of the worst feelings is wanting so badly to change, but not knowing how or ifyou can really do it. Well, Im here to tell you that change really is possible. I started and stopped more diets than I can count, and if you would have told me a few years ago that I would be where I am today, I would have told you that was absolutely impossible. The beauty in that reflection is recognizing that I was capable all alongI just had to get out of my own way. For far too long, I let fear take over and win. I let my past failures and ever-increasing weight define who I was. I gave up on myselffeeling like a failurebut through some pretty difficult periods in my life, I realized that the only way I would actually fail was if I stopped trying.
