Amazing 100Lbs Weight Loss in 4 Years with Keto Diet and Lifting
Witness the incredible transformation of a Reddit user's weight journey with Keto diet and light lifting, resulting in an unbelievable weight loss.

The Journey Begins
The Reddit user, Jeffholio, started his weight loss journey four years ago at the age of 31. He weighed 285lbs and stood at a height of 6 feet. Jeffholio initially followed the Keto diet for 2 years, which helped him lose about 85lbs. During the next two years, he intermittently lifted weights along with the Keto diet.
The results
The transformation that Jeffholio went through is nothing short of remarkable. After 4 years of disciplined Keto diet and some weightlifting, Jeffholio shed an astonishing 100lbs. The transformation photos clearly show him as a completely different person from the starting point. The most incredible part of his story is that he didn't develop any loose skin, which is very unusual for people who lose such a significant amount of weight.
The Science behind Keto diet
The science behind the Keto diet is such that it forces the body to utilise fat instead of carbohydrates, which is the body's main source of fuel. By restricting carb intake and consuming high amounts of healthy fats, the body enters a state of ketosis, where it burns fat instead of glucose for energy. Ketosis has been seen to result in reduced appetite, weight loss, and reversal of type 2 diabetes.
Benefits of Weightlifting
While Jeffholio had quite an impressive weight loss journey with the Keto diet alone, incorporating regular exercise routines like weightlifting can help accelerate weight loss, build muscle, and reduce the risk of injury. Muscle burns more calories than fat, thereby boosting metabolism and weight loss. Lifting weights with proper technique also helps build strength, improve bone density, and balance.
Conclusion
Jeffholio's inspiring story is a testament to the effectiveness of the Keto diet and light lifting in achieving optimal weight loss results. His success story can inspire and motivate others to adopt a similar lifestyle, to enjoy the benefits of a healthy body and mind. Always consult with your doctor or nutritionist before making any significant dietary or lifestyle changes, but it's never too late to start your journey to a healthier you!
