'I Ate A Low-Carb, High-Fat Carnivore Diet And Did Intermittent Fasting To Lose 35 Pounds' - Women's Health

After struggling with my weight and suffering from various health issues, I decided to try the low-carb, high-fat carnivore diet and started practicing yoga.

Hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, celiac disease, and fibromyalgia added even more challenges to my weight-loss journey.

In addition to my weight-loss problems, I also struggled with mental health issues like anxiety attacks and severe depression due to emotional and physical trauma I had experienced in my early twenties.

Instead, I started accepting that this was my reality and, even though I hated my body, this was what I would have to deal with for the rest of my life.

That is when I came across Kelly Hogan’s blog, “My Zero Carb Life." She follows the carnivore diet (a type of ketogenic diet that focuses on fueling the body with healthy animal fats and proteins).

Having never tried yoga before, it was difficult for me to stay still and in sync with my body, but as I continue to incorporate this practice into my life, I am noticing a great improvement in both my mental and physical conditions.

I want other women who may be suffering from past trauma, mental health issues, chronic illnesses, or facing weight-loss challenges, to know: Your body hears everything your mind says.
