Introduction

Reddit user Absolute_Balance lost 122 pounds in under seven months with the help of the ketogenic diet. Learn about his weight loss journey and how he managed to lose such a significant amount of weight so quickly.

What is the ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that has been shown to lead to weight loss. By reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fat intake, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.

What did Absolute_Balance eat?

Absolute_Balance ate between 1300-1500 calories per day, with no cheat days or exceptions. He kept his daily carb intake under 20g and focused on eating foods that were high in fat and protein. A typical day's meal plan included 2 large eggs, 3 rashers of bacon, mixed baby leaf salad, smoked ham or turkey, chicken breast, full-fat mayo, and chili cheese.

How did Absolute_Balance stay motivated?

Absolute_Balance stayed motivated by reminding himself of how he felt when he started his weight loss journey. He kept track of his progress on a daily basis and looked at before and after photos to see how far he had come. He also found that sticking to a low-carb diet gave him more energy and helped with his depression.

Conclusion

Absolute_Balance's weight loss journey is an inspiring example of how the ketogenic diet can lead to significant weight loss. However, it's important to note that losing weight quickly may not be healthy for everyone, and that consulting with a doctor before starting any new diet or exercise program is always a good idea.
