About Me

I moved from Hungary to Canada in January 2019, to be with my husband.  We lived apart from each other for a while; he lived in Canada and I lived in Europe, but finally we could be together.  

Then, this balanced and stress-free lifestyle began to show on us as well.  Our weight started to increase and so did our blood pressure.  In addition, our blood tests’ results showed the first signs of pre-diabetes. 

Before Christmas, in 2019, we received a very strong warning sign.  We were awakened by the death of our close friend.  He was 58 years old, and he died of a massive heart attack.  This completely shocked us. He could still have lived long if he had changed his lifestyle in time.  We don’t want to go down the same path because without health there is nothing.  Can’t plan and work for the future because all energy and thoughts controlled by illnesses.

   This is our new slogan:

KETO – so that old age does not go hand in hand with diseases!

We had to make the big decision of our life. We are in our 40s and 50s and we want to be happy and healthy to have a long and active life!  To achieve this, we must take the necessary steps at this time.  For us, the Keto Diet combined with intermittent fasting (and Paleo Diet), is the most appropriate, which best reflects the most ancient human eating habits, and it best corresponds to evolution.  Therefore, we changed our “you can eat everything in moderation” diet and we adopted the low-carb, Ketogenic Lifestyle.  That’s the point, when our Keto story began. 

After throwing out all processed food containing carbohydrates, I have started to cook Keto accepted meals. I have lost 15+ pounds so far and George has dropped 30+ Lbs. without starving ourselves to death. But the most important thing is our high blood pressure has dropped back down to normal level and we’ve lowered our blood sugar level. Our family physician is happy with our lab results and there have been many other positive changes to our health.  After achieving a quick positive result, we allowed a little relaxation on our diet several times.  Sometimes we also allow ourselves smaller amounts of fruit and vegetables that have a higher natural sugar content. 

If we had to put a label on our diet, we eat mostly Keto, Paleo and Mediterranean food, which can be called Keto-Paleo-Mediterranean-ish!  All three of these diets focus on real food using fresh ingredients, without preservatives and artificial additives.  Needless to say, no processed food is allowed in our diet. (I’ll write more about this topic in the Eat & Live Healthy blog: link)
