ABOUT PHENA
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Phena – Aussie girl..lover of chocolate, recipe creator and devourer of all things keto!
I live in beautiful Central Queensland with my husband and two boys. We live close to the beach, so much of My Keto Glow recipes will be based around our local produce (seafood). If you are looking for delicious low-carb or paleo recipes, you’ve come to the right spot. And if you’re not sure about any of this ‘Keto’ stuff, I can help you along the way. I have plenty of tips and tricks to share.
My Keto Glow is a place where you can come to be inspired, to learn, to grow… and ultimately – to GLOW. It is my mission to help you get there.
I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Therefore, we need to nurture both the inside and the outside – body, mind, and soul. I intend to help you realise your inner and outer beauty – it’s already there waiting to be discovered!
Why Keto?
I started my keto journey five years ago. After putting on 25 kilos (55 pounds) with each of my boys and not being able to breastfeed, I had to find some way of of shedding those extra kilos.
My first pregnancy came with many challenges, one of those being gestational diabetes. I had to take a serious look at my relationship with that sticky, sweet thing called sugar!
The Challenge
After I gave birth, I trained hard and ate a relatively low carb, high protein diet. I lost all the weight from my first bubba in a few months. But when my second baby came along, I used all the same tools, but the weight wasn’t coming off. Why wasn’t it happening?
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting the same result. Now, I’m no fruit cake.. (at least I think I have most of my marbles)… So when my gym started a twelve-week keto challenge, I jumped right in!
I had no idea about eating Keto. I thought I knew everything there was to know about healthy eating – but who would have thought that by eating fat… I would actually lose fat!
During the challenge, the last 7 or 8 kilos came off – almost effortlessly. I was eating more and training less! I had loads of energy, could think more clearly and was in the best shape of my life!
Now, almost 3 years later, I’m still living the keto life, enjoying every moment of it!
I’ve spent 10 years educating teen women about their worth and value, encouraging them to pursue their life’s purpose. As a beautician, I have also educated women about their ‘outer glow’ – but ultimately it starts on the inside.
I hope I can help you find that inner GLOW!
