I’m here to talk about me and my journey on the Ketogenic diet or WOE (way of eating). It has been a real life changer for me as I was heading for type 2 diabetes and an early grave and I waited so long for my son to come along, there was no way I was leaving him without his Mum.

I have spent my entire life obese and infact still am, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel for the first time ever! I started my journey at 22 stone 10lbs on 13th June 2018 since thn I have lost 8 stone and 2lbs (currently 14 stone 8lbs) eating the tastiest diet food ever and gone from a size 28 to a size 16, and if you’d have asked me if that were possible on the 12th of June 2018 I’d have said no.

So I’ve come to a stage where I share my journey with lots of people I speak to (many of whom I’m sure are fed up of hearing about it) and what I really want to do is help people who have had the same struggles as me. The information is out there we just need to know where to look, and the best source of information I have come across is a Facebook page called Ketogenic generation where you can read many articles and information posted by people devoted to helping others get back to health and not with a focus on weight loss, because this is the biggest, hardest thing to get your head around. Weight loss is a side effect of this healthy eating not the focus.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
