Today, I am blessed to have here with me Abby Durlewanger. Abby started the Ketogenic lifestyle in 2017 after doing just about every other diet. She was consistently losing weight and then would gain it right back on the weekend. She found it hard to stick other diets because she was always hungry and having cheat meals. She thought she could exercise the pounds away.
After weeks of research she finally decided to give Keto a try, but vowed it would only be for 6 weeks. After week 1 and the surge of energy, focus, and results she saw, she was hooked! Abby has lost over 130 lbs and 145 inches. She went from a size 20 to a size 2. From a size 4x to a size Small.
While Abby is very passionate about the Ketogenic lifestyle she credits all of her success to the revelation God gave her about stewarding her body. She was able to acknowledge she has a food addiction and was using food to cope with trauma from childhood, depression, and anxiety. It was when she was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression after the birth of her son that she was at her lowest point in life. Feeling suicidal and lost, she had an encounter with her savior, Jesus Christ that changed everything. She now stands firm against her addiction knowing that self-control and discipline is a fruit of the spirit and the more time she spends with God, the better it gets and that “anything that we put before God is out of order, including food.”
She now spends her time sharing her family’s faith, ketogenic lifestyle, and helping others get freedom from food addiction. While she loves helping people through her business, she is fully confident that it is not a meal plan or grocery list that is helping people. It is the power of her testimony and encouragement of others to place God first to allow him to meet their needs instead of reliance on “comfort foods.”
In this episode, Abby Durlewanger opens up about her journey to health and wellness. She speaks about the inspiration behind House of Keto and why she decided to do a 41-day water fast. Abby explains the reason you may be overeating dietary fat on keto and how you can start using your own body fat instead. Plus, Abby opens up about the spiritual and mental healing that happened to her while fasting. Tune in as we chat about feeding your kids a ketogenic diet and all the 2022 events where you can see Abby talk more about her story.

[00:45] Abby Speaks About Her Journey To Health and Wellness
When Abby decided to lose weight, she would work out, eat fewer calories, and eat a high-carb diet.
However, Abby felt hungry all of the time, and she needed food constantly.
Abby’s trainer said to try a keto lifestyle.
Within the first week of keto, Abby already felt better. Instead of experiencing the keto flu, Abby felt a surge of energy.
For the first time in Abby’s life, she forgot to eat breakfast! She naturally started incorporating fasting into her lifestyle.
[06:30] Instead of Eating Dietary Fat, Use Your Body Fat
People think that you need to consume a lot of fats in order to be keto.
However, the metabolic state of ketosis is not synonymous with weight loss.
It’s possible to be in ketosis and gain weight.
What are your goals? That will determine what you need to do.
If you’re trying to put on muscle, then you’re someone that needs to eat more fat.
Children will also need to eat more fat on the ketogenic diet.
If you are overweight, the fat from your diet can come from your stored body fat.
[11:00] Why Abby Decided To Do A 41-Day Water Fast
About two and a half years ago, Abby got diagnosed with a rare breast disease. It looks like breast cancer, acts like breast cancer, and is treated like breast cancer.
At the time of her diagnosis, less than 1,000 women in America had this disease.
Basically, no one knew what they were looking at, and no one knew what they were doing.
They wanted to treat Abby as though she was a cancer patient, but they could not find a cancer cell.
Abby was in the worst pain that she had ever been in her entire life.
What Abby had was something called idiopathic granuloma mastitis.
Eventually, Abby decided to do a water fast to let her body heal itself.
Luckily, Abby was able to avoid chemo and avoid getting her breasts removed.
[27:20] The Physical and Spiritual Healing That Happens During A Fast
Every religion talks about some type of fasting.
During her fast, Abby felt like there was nothing she could not do.
Fasting helped Abby’s mental health.
During the 41-day fast, Abby had an awakening. She saw who she was and how she could contribute to the planet.
Now, Abby has loads of confidence; people tell Abby that she seems like a completely new person.
[33:45] The Decision To Feed Your Kids A Ketogenic Diet
Abby’s children were eating goldfish, syrup, whipped cream, Dr. Pepper, and Tootsie Rolls.
One day, Abby watched the movie The Magic Pill: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Pill-Pete-Evans/dp/B078H4J7G1/benazadi-20
After watching the movie, Abby just stopped buying things that were filled with sugar.
In the house, Abby established a rule called “meats before treats.”
When Abby cooks for herself, she offers the same foods to her kids.
Her son went from being non-verbal to putting sentences together a week into keto.
