KETO COACH – KATRINA HARRIS
Katrina lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, two college-age daughters, and 6 mischievous kitties.
For the majority of her life, Katrina struggled with her weight. And those years of becoming a dieting expert led to a scale high of over 400 pounds.
Katrina followed a low-carb way of life for years, but not wholeheartedly. She gave herself “permissions.” 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.
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%.
When she plateaued in early 2015, she deepened her resolve by adding exercise to her plan. She joined a gym. That made all the difference. Katrina experienced steady and consistent losses as well as changes in the way her body was shaped.
As the weight came off, Katrina discovered she has a little-known, generally misdiagnosed, and progressively debilitating fat disorder called lipedema, which impacts anywhere from 10-30% of women. The disease is said to not be impacted by diet or exercise. However, Katrina found that keto and her self-care choices allowed her to not only arrest the progression of this disease but to also roll back stages of this disease.
Now Keto Coach Katrina is in her 5th year of helping others to gain control of their health and weight. Katrina is a firm believer in loving yourself through every step of the journey and that self-care is the glue that makes advocating for yourself at all levels both possible and imperative. When you are ready to take that step, Katrina can help you with: discovering your goals and what’s holding you back; getting that inner voice in your head to align with your goals; how to adjust/tweak your eating to fit a ketogenic lifestyle; tracking (or not); food triggers and emotional eating; working out (or not), and making this a lifestyle you stick with permanently.
Katrina cannot wait to be a part of YOUR journey!
