The Keto Diet: “Finally a Way of Eating That Works!”

Over people have signed up for our free two-week keto low-carb challenge. You'll get free guidance, meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and troubleshooting tips - everything you need to succeed on a keto diet.

Here are new fantastic stories from the people who've taken the challenge:

This was the easiest! I lost 5 pounds (2 kg), my husband lost 8 pounds (4 kg) in the two-week challenge. We ate better than ever before. We were never hungry.

I particularly liked the weekly shopping list and daily meal plans with recipes. We both felt more energy, less stiffness, mental clarity and less tiredness.

We will try to make the ketogenic diet our new lifestyle. I also loved the daily encouragement.

Thank you!

I have lost 3.6 kg (8 lbs) in the 2-week challenge!!

Finally a way of eating that works! I am a 52-year old female from Queensland Australia, I have Hashimoto's disease so losing weight is difficult. I have lost 3.6 kg (8 lbs) in the 2-week challenge!!

So happy with that! I have not been hungry once! I did suffer from headaches and severe fatigue in the first few days so I increased my salt and fat and things improved.
My husband is doing it with me and he has lost 3 kg (7 lbs)! We have signed up to keep going and I'm looking forward to trying a lot of the other recipes.

My only suggestion is maybe male/female portion sizes? Having said that though I read where you said eat until full which is what I've been doing so I don't always finish my meal. In fact I am finding that I am eating less as the days pass.

I'm also hoping to see some changes in my thyroid blood work as it is an autoimmune disorder.

Thank you for making such an easy and accessible program.

Actually actually started the challenge a week late. But I'm almost 8 lbs (4 kg) down after week 1.

I have to admit I was extremely sceptical. For the first time the meals are not complicated... Very simple, regular food. I actually enjoy preparing my meals. Thanks Diet Doctor for introducing me to the keto lifestyle.

So very grateful,

It certainly was a challenge for someone who has tried for years to stick to a low-fat diet without long-term success. I found that I didn't cope well at first, finding the quantities of fat in the recipes just too much. It took a while for my sugar-damaged appetite control mechanism to know when I'd eaten enough.

I have never been able to fast before, but now I have the stamina to easily do 16 hours.

Things also improved considerably when I cut breakfast. Such a relief. Every other diet says you must eat it and it's always been a chore. I have never been able to fast before, getting very wobbly and irritable, but now I have the stamina to easily do 16 hours.

I was dubious about the recipes but actually really enjoyed them and am planning to try them out incognito on friends. I have lost about 3 kg (7 lbs) in three weeks which I'm delighted with. I have become a member of Diet Doctor because I really appreciate the support and information.

Thanks,
Jennifer

I competed the challenge and lost 11 lbs (5 kg). I feel better and have more energy. I used the challenge as a way to start a new lifestyle.

With everything I read on going keto I was a little overwhelmed and the 2-week challenge helped me learn a lot. I'm 55 and live in Illinois.

Thank you!

I LOVED the low-carb challenge! I am 69 years old and I live in Arizona (USA). I have enjoyed Diet Doctor's tips, recipes, and information.

Eating the American diet, I continued to gain weight. I have now lost and am much happier following a low-carb diet because I don't have to be hungry all of the time.

A low-carb diet has also improved my overall health and I no longer take allergy medicine.

My husband and I both have health reasons to try this diet. Our doctor told us we needed to visit the website. We are sincerely glad we did and will continue to follow. In only a short two weeks we have seen a significant change.

I am 67 and my spouse is 70. The recipes were easy, he LOVED dinners! We can't even believe we have such wonderful choices. We had been living under the old rules of nutrition. Losing weight was mission impossible. This will be the way we live and eat as we go forward.

We told My daughter and son in law about the site and they are now beginning the 2-week trial. The diet is a life changer. Thank you.
