DO NOT FOLLOW THIS BLOG

Wanted to make a quick update to my health and in general. It has been about 1 years give or take since I started my weight loss journey. I kept about 80% of the weight off but it has come with challenges that my weight loss and how I went about it in this blog that I am reeling from the effects currently.

First off, tracking your macros along with crucial vitamins and nutrients is an absolute must!!! I suffered the consequences for the long term effects due to not putting that into priority.

What ended up happening to me is that in June 2025 I suffered a really bad health scare that landed me in urgent care. I had anemia. I was pretty low in iron and have been for a long time. I was low in potassium which is crucial to keeping your electrolytes in balance which can quickly get unbalanced if you drink a sbit ton of water. Ughhhh. Me. 

I have since started taking a lot more supplements, mainly upping iron and prenatals (NOT pregnant but it's good for health).

I have also lost an insane amount of hair due to a lot of factors. Low iron being an obvious one. Aside from losing 50 pounds in 6 months but had severe stress from leaving a toxic relationship while also grieving from the death of my mother. Not to mention I was in a car accident right after we left the funeral. It was severe stress episodes one after another and my hair shed like crazy and thinned out so much I had to chop it all off to shoulder length. So now I am impatiently waiting for it all to grow back but even with short hair, my hair is sparse and crazy thin. However, in my new spin off blog linked in my last post, I am chronicling my progress. It's very slow progress but pictures don't lie.

So....what can you do to prevent this? Honestly, multivitamins or prenatals should be enough but I honestly did not start off my weight loss journey with that. Have adequate iron, b complex, potassium, sodium, folate, vitamins c and d and so on. All are extremely crucial. I felt i did keto the wrong way and did not put enough emphasis on vitamins and I suffered greatly. A quick Google search will give you a gauge how much you should aim for daily. 

Please take caution with my blog. It is by no means what I recommend you do. There is a right way to do keto without being deficient in vitamins and minerals. Let my blog be inspiration but please don't do the mistakes I did make sure you get the proper care for your body. Your future self will thank you.
