Working Out is Not Glamorous - We SWEAT!

Working Out Is Now a Daily Routine

When we started our Keto Journey on May 31, 2017, we were just eating Keto and drinking Pruvit. No gym. 

The other day Keith asked me give him 2 full weeks to get our bodies heading in the right direction with a gym routine. So, we have been doing just that. I decided to snap some before and better photos. We have only been doing Keto/Pruvit for 4.5 months but I wanted to show some of our most recent results. What do you think?

Tarah's Ketosis Experiment - Fat Burning Machine

Keith and I started following a Keto diet on May 31, 2018. To date we have both lost over 20lbs and are still moving forward with our weight loss. We are not strict Keto as we do have some days where we eat carbohydrates, but honestly it's not often. We try and keep our carbs to around 20 grams a day. 

On a daily basis we drink Pruvit, which is a drink mix that has pure therapeutic ketones it and helps put our body into a state of Ketosis so we are burning fat as energy instead of carbohydrates. "Ketosis is a normal metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it burns stored fats..."

Today I did an experiment to see if my body was in Ketosis. At 9:45am I tool my blood glucose levels and it was at 0.6. I then drank my Pruvit at 9:50am. At 10:50am I check again and I was at 1.8, I'm officially in ketosis! 5 minutes later I did it again and I was at 1.9. So as you can see, I was still climbing. I am literally a fat burning machine!!

Woohoo!!! Burn fat, burn! If you are interested in ordering a 10 day sample pack to see if it's a product that will work for you, shoot us an email!

I've said it before and I will say it again, THIS PRODUCT WORKS! 

I am NOT a "drink the koolaid" type of person. I have to try things to form my own opinion. Hell, I don't even pay attention to movie reviews as I figure, let me decide for myself, Siskal and Ebert! 🙄

Keith and I just returned from 20 days in the US and we got home and weighed ourselves, neither one of us gained a single pound. NOT ONE! 

I'll be completely transparent with you, yes we ate Keto-ish most days BUT I know I can count at least 2 Wendy's Frosties, 3 McDonald's BigMacs and one In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style burger each for us and that included the buns AND fries. (sorry not sorry!)

We did workout as best we could with several long walks and one trip to an actual gym, but I expected a pound or 5... We consistently everyday drank our Pruvit. We put our body into ketosis to burn the fat and as you can see, it worked! I can't even express how thrilled this makes me.

Join us in burning fat - we know you'll be glad you did! All you have to do is ask, we'd love to help!! 😍

Our Keto Journey Continues

We started the Keto Lifestyle on May 31st and have been going strong for the last few months. Keith and I have lost around 15lbs each along with several inches all over. This has been the easiest diet that we have ever tried and we have committed to make it a lifestyle change. WE have been to Seattle and NYC and we managed to stay Keto, which wasn't hard. I even found pizza in NYC that I still think about... Like right now, I am thinking about it...

We plan to do some before and after pictures at the end of July, right before we embark on our 12 night cruise. The plan is to stay Keto there too.

We even stayed Keto in NYC

Living in Mexico has been a bit challenging in regards to finding a lot of the dietary items we have needed. Thankfully for trips to the States, friends visiting and a few health food stores in Playa, we have been able to find what we need.

I wanted to put together a list of items we have been using and really like. We recently added Pruvit to our diet and have fallen in love with that product so we signed up to be distributors. We wouldn't have done that had we not loved it. It has helped us stay in Ketosis, which we LOVE!!

Here are a few items we use often:
Pruvit Ketones - We do sell them so we are a bit biased but the only reason we do is b/c we loved them when we tried them and have continued to use them everyday. This is a big part of our day and workouts.
I only own two cook books - this one and this one - both have been great to have for recipes.
Keto Bark - when I don't feel like making fat bombs these are a great sweet treat.
Keto Mojo - we use this to test our blood for Ketosis
No Sugar Aloud Brownies - these are AMAZING! 
Miracle Noodles - miss pasta? These noodles are a great substitute. We had them for dinner the other night and you couldn't tell a big difference.
Swerve Sugar - great for baking
Nutribullet - we use this everyday for coffee, shakes, food... Must have kitchen accessory
Dash Rapid Egg Cooker - if you eat as many eggs as we do this is a godsend!
Psyllium Husk Powder - this was a hard item to find in Mexico so I had to get it in the US - great for cooking. I saw a recipe for fried chicken which I plan to try!
Ghee - great for cooking or bulletproof coffee
Tea - maybe TMI, but we love this tea when you are just feeling a wee bit full and need a nice cleanse... ;) (The above Amazon Affiliate links are actual products we have bought and currently use.)

I am sure there are more items and when I come across them I will update this post. 

We started a Keto group for our friends, please consider joining it if this is something you are interested in. We share recipes, give encouragement and just learn as much as we can.

KETO ON!!

Not a photo we like...

So, a lot has happened in just a short week. Keith and I decided we have gained more weight that we care to admit, so it was time to make a change. After seeing several friends who are succeeding on the keto diet we decided to give it a try. In doing so we came across Prüvit and Keith started doing a lot of research about it, fell in love with it and signed up to be a distributor. Now he is nose deep learning all he can about keto and Prüvit. 

We have changed the way we are eating and actually getting out to exercise a bit more. We are posting about our journey in a few places, if you are interested in joining us or just following us. You can join our FB group Let's Keto Together, where we post recipes, talk about ideas, meet others, etc. We also have a Pruvit Riviera Maya page where Keith posts updates, videos and promos on products. We also have two Instagram accounts - one for Prüvit and one about our journey being Keto in the Riviera Maya.

Our Keto Breakfast

We are 6 days in and we have already been seeing great weight loss results. I have lost 4lbs and Keith is down 4.6lbs. We are planning our days out with MyFitnessPal, watching our macros and making sure we work together to get the results we both want.
