“I can't wait to see what life has in store for me now that I am healthier.”

Today we have the pleasure of introducing you to Paola. She’s been on a two-year keto journey that has completely changed her life.

“I was almost 300lbs, I was depressed and unhappy with my life. I knew it was time to make a change. There was nothing to lose at this point. One of the members at Parkside CrossFit kept showing me the Keto dishes he was making and it looked like a diet I could follow. I decided to try it for 6 weeks and here I am, almost 2 years later.”

Keto set Paola up to lose 80lbs and reverse her pre-diabetic state. But that is only the beginning…

“Keto has given me my life back. I combined Keto with CrossFit/Strength training and it is the best thing I have done. Not only have I been successful, I have a new lease on life. I want to thrive and live a long life. Keto has shown me that it’s possible for me. The Keto Community has some amazing people and I am happy to call them my friends. I can't wait to see what life has in store for me now that I am healthier.”

Paola still has big goals and ambitions for the future. She wants to compete in a power-lifting competition and lose another 50lbs. She loves documenting her journey and the ability to inspire people that comes with that. 

Her advise is all about patience:

“Believe in yourself, be kind and patient. It took years to put on the weight and this too won't happen over night.”
