And those years of becoming a dieting expert led to a scale high of over 400 pounds.</p><p>Katrina followed a low carb way of life for years, but not wholeheartedly. She gave herself &quot;permissions.&quot; If it was a holiday, she ate whatever she wanted. If it was a special occasion, she ate whatever she wanted. If it was a vacation, she ate whatever she wanted. If it was a weekend- you guessed it- she ate whatever she wanted. She regularly cycled in-and-out of ketosis, and she struggled.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everything changed for her over Labor Day weekend of 2014, when she quite by accident stopped having all sugar substitutes. Once she cut out sweeteners, she noticed that her hunger and cravings were suddenly gone, and the 40 pounds she shed felt like they came off by magic. This unintentional experiment made her realize that she had a carb addiction. She knew that she had to treat it as an addict would and abstain from the foods that just made her want more and more. She vowed to not cheat and has stuck to that plan 100%.</p><p><br/></p><p>On this Episode we Discussed</p><p>-Katrina Harris’s Weight loss Story</p><p>-Why I Cancelled Cheat Days</p><p>-Challenges of weighing 400lbs</p><p>-Lipedima Disease Awareness</p><p>-Why Self-Care is the Key to Taking Action</p><p>-Creating a Sustainable lifestyle on Keto</p><p>-How to recognize our Excuses</p><p>-Benefits of Keto to improve my Life</p><p>-Leading up to becoming a Life Coach and a Keto Coach </p><p><br/><br/>Get it in Amazon The Big Fat Surprise: <br/><a href='https://www.amazon.ca/dp/192522810X/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d'>https://www.amazon.ca/dp/19252
