Low-Carb and Cleanse Diets

The first 15 lbs were lost through low-carb diets, with a daily limit of 1500 calories, originally following the keto diet.

While there has been no weight lifting incorporated, the spin classes have helped her tone her legs and arms, as well as maintain her weight loss overall. The user displays immense dedication to her weight loss journey, tracking her meals and progress on MyFitnessPal app and Reddit, and looking to subreddits like r/keto, r/loseit, r/fasting for motivation.
