Hi, I'm Catherine a Certified Ketogenic Lifestyle Coach and founder & creator of Even Better After 50! You may remember me from my Almost Raw Vegan days (2011-2017), where I inspired thousands of men & women to improve their health & wellness by following my whole food, plant-based 'almost raw' vegan approach, enjoying my recipes and online training programs.
While my philosophy in nutrition and health has not changed since my Almost Raw Vegan days - I continue to promote a diet that is nutrient-dense with lots of raw living foods - and I continue to promote my 'almost raw' approach. Using my Certification as a Keto Coach combined with my Certification in Plant-Based Nutrition, I have now simply refined and tweaked my previous approach by marrying the ‘almost raw’ with ‘healthy keto’ into an even healthier keto approach that incorporates lots of nutrient-dense, low-inflammation & quality foods designed to heal from the inside out and make us breeze through “the change” so that we look & feel better than you EVER imagined possible!
Well in one word "menopause".
Yup, even though I followed an 'almost raw' vegan approach to eating for well over 10 years, and back then I had lost and maintained my weight since 2007 - but then something changed in my body after menopause (I was 51 at the time) and no matter what I did, the pounds just kept creeping onto my body. Before long I had put on 25+lbs. Oh and of course the extra weight deposits itself in the most undesirable places! Ughh!
Yikkes, at that rate I shuddered to think how I would look & feel when I was 60, 70, 80+!
Something had to change! I did not want the typical ‘boxed-shape’ body that “they” say we are destined for as we approach our 40s, 50s, 60s. Not me! I wanted to be a healthy, slim, active, vibrant for all my years to come, through my 60s, 70s and beyond!
I tried for months to adapt my diet and my nutritional ways, I searched high and low, I tried a number of different approaches but nothing worked!
Until I found a healthy ketogenic diet!
During my first week of moving to a healthy ‘almost raw’ keto approach I lost 5 lbs, and after 6 weeks I had lost my 25lbs and I’ve kept it off since then! In fact, I’m down an additional 8 lbs and feel better today, at 59 years young, than I EVER did following plant-based diet!
I have my waist line back! Woohoo! Oh and I also weigh less now than I did in my 20s... Yup, I feel better than I EVER imagined possible!
Need I say more!
And no, I didn’t starve myself - I ate real whole foods, no powders, no gimmicks, no supplements, just real whole healthy foods!
More important, after loosing the initial 25lbs, I felt and looked better than I had in years, I had even more energy than before, and since then I’ve had no trouble maintaining my weight even though my hormones were still working against me!
If you are like me and struggling with a changing body, or just struggling, then I'm certain my Healthy Keto approach will help you to improve your health, lose weight, boost your energy and more!
Join me and let’s prove “them” wrong ~ you are NOT destined for a “box-shaped” figure, you CAN get your waist-line back, you CAN (and will) look & feel better than we EVER imagined possible!
Let’s do this!
A Healthy Happy You Awaits!
