Keto Diet Progress: From 171Lb to 158Lb in 9 Weeks
A user's weight journey through the keto diet
Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
The keto diet, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has been the subject of a lot of attention in recent years. Redditchallenged, a Reddit user, decided to give it a try and documented their progress through posts. Over the nine weeks, she modified her diet and found substitutes for the carb-laden foods she used to love.
The Keto Diet
The keto diet aims to shift your body to enter ketosis, a metabolic process where you burn fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. By drastically reducing carb intake and increasing fat intake, the body turns to fat as its primary fuel source. Achieving ketosis can be tough, but keto sticks help you check if you're on the right track.
The Journey
Although challenging, redditchallenged persisted with the diet and began seeing a difference. Encouraging comments from fellow Redditors and avoiding 'bad' carbs and sugars helped push her in the right direction. Hardcore cravings were managed by eating keto-friendly foods like fat bombs, low-carb ice cream, and cauliflower mash.
Results
After nine weeks of the keto diet, redditchallenged lost 13 pounds, dropping from 171lb to 158lb. Though she had a few mishaps with sweet treats, she learned to stay away from them and focus on substituting them with keto-friendly alternatives. Ultimately, through perseverance and discipline, she achieved her goals and felt better about herself.
Final Thoughts
The keto diet is not easy, and requires a lot of sacrifice, but it can work wonders for weight loss and overall health. If you are considering giving it a try, it is important to stick with it, find substitutes for things you'll miss, and keep a positive attitude. The journey to becoming healthier, fitter, and more confident is worth it.
