Keto Sound Bytes: Celebrating Non-Scale Victories…

Because we discussed weight loss slow downs, last week, I thought it would be a good time to highlight NON-Scale Victories!

I also want to discuss the importance of celebrating them on a ketogenic journey….

 

Key points for this discussion include:

• Definition of NSVs : NSVs are successes that are not related to weight or weight loss, but rather other means of calculating progress on the ketogenic journey.

• Importance of Celebrating NSVs : Why we emphasize that even if the scale is moving, it’s crucial to embrace and enjoy non-scale victories.

• Personal Experiences: We discuss our own personal experiences with NSV and maintaining weight during stress.

• Improved Health Markers : We mention a subscriber experiences that have been shared with us.

• Travel and Mobility: No longer needing a seatbelt extender on flights and fitting on all rides at theme parks.

• Clothing Sizes : I gauge my keto progress by clothing sizes, note when a garment you think might not fit you, does!

• Reduced Pain : Chronic conditions, like plantar fasciitis pain could go away after starting keto, and chronic pain from an old fractures can significantly decrease, allowing for long walks without discomfort .

• Mental Clarity and Mood Stability: We have noticed improved mood stability and less depression, attributed, partly to normalized blood sugar.

• Keto as a Lifestyle : We want to reiterate that keto is a sustainable lifestyle, not just a diet, and that the body changes to burn fat, leading to stabilization even if not perfectly adhering to keto at all times.
• Seeing Food Differently: We also discuss how we view food differently, seeing carbs and sugar in items like cookies.
