Covid has been a devastating virus, as we all know, for almost a year now. Covid for many has meant loss, illness, financial pains, depression, serious change in lifestyle and weight gain! Statistics do ' show there was also an increase in alcohol consumption. The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction reports that 1 in 5 people say their consumption increased by 20%. (CCSA.CA ) This was a strong case for my own weight gain and fall off my keto wagon. Many colleagues and friends I speak with, have added a few extra pounds over this crazy time. We call it the Covid bulge! 

 There is positive news on the horizon, we are on the verge of this nightmare being sort of over. Now is the time to get back to basics and loose those extra lbs! Starting January 1st, I made the commitment to go back to my Keto lifestyle, I’ve lowered, almost ceased alcohol and I cut out coffee. 2 weeks into it and I am feeling great. Down 7lbs, feeling more calm, relaxed and grounded than I have been in a very long time. Even with the stresses of work, Covid and isolation it feels good. The key will be staying strong! We are resilient!  So if the Covid bulge happened to you, be resilient and strong. 

Say yes to making the decision today that will change the course you are on.
