Article by Madeleine Smith
Sportscat, a 32-year-old woman standing at 5'2", shared her weight loss journey with keto on Reddit. With a starting weight of 126lbs, she was able to lose 15lbs within a year. She explains how keto benefits not just the number on the scale, but also other aspects of her life such as clearer skin and better sleep.
Short Women, This One's For You
Sportscat gives special advice for shorter women who are trying to lose weight. She acknowledges the struggle of having a low TDEE and not having a lot to lose, but emphasizes that keto worked for her and might work for others who want more satisfying meals without having to compromise taste.
The 20% Deficit
At the start of her journey, Sportscat took a 20% caloric deficit which put her around 1100 calories. This was just enough for her since she had less weight to lose and her TDEE is around 1350. She also shared her go-to foods that helped her stay on track including eggs, bacon, steak, salmon, and homemade pizza.
Shared Triumph and Struggles
Comments poured in, congratulating Sportscat on her weight loss success. Shorter women, in particular, were happy to have found someone they can relate to. Some asked for meal plans, while others encouraged her to keep going. Sportscat shared the difficulties of intuitive eating and how counting calories is her go-to when it comes to staying on track.
Takeaway
Sportscat's keto journey is proof that dieting doesn't have to equate to sacrificing flavor and satisfaction. Her progress shows that small changes can make a big difference, especially for shorter women who may have a harder time losing weight. Trying out different methods and making adjustments that work best for one's lifestyle and body is key to achieving success.
