Man Loses 10 Stone in 9 Months with Keto: a Motivating Weight Loss Journey

Introduction

The weight loss journey of a Reddit user who goes by the name Absolute_Balance has recently caught people's attention. Absolute_Balance went from weighing 347 lbs to now weighing 207 lbs in just under 9 and a half months with the help of Keto diet. His inspiring before and after transformation photos show a remarkable change in his appearance.

Keto diet and calorie control

Absolute_Balance revealed that he has been following the Keto diet since June 18th, 2019, and has been keeping his calorie intake to about 1,500 kcal. He is not as strict as he used to be but is determined to lose an additional 35 pounds by reaching his goal weight of 175 lbs.

Motivation

Absolute_Balance hit a plateau with his weight loss journey, so he posted his before and after photos on Reddit to motivate himself. People’s kind comments and compliments further motivated him. Even his landlord didn't recognize him recently and got suspicious when he saw what he thought was a stranger leaving his apartment.

Dietary supplements

Absolute_Balance did not mention taking any dietary vitamins or protein shakes, but fellow Reddit user Dolphin_Shaver asked him about it. Absolute_Balance responded that he hasn’t, but Dolphin_Shaver mentioned that he himself is doing the Keto diet with intermittent fasting and going to the gym and using protein shakes. Absolute_Balance’s story is a great reminder that people can achieve impressive weight loss with or without supplements.

Loose skin

Fellow Reddit user WinterSolgia, who has also been losing weight, asked Absolute_Balance about any loose skin issues he may have. Absolute_Balance admitted to having some but didn't say that it bothers him. He also shared insights about loose skin, saying that it gets looser around the limbs the closer they are to the torso. WinterSolgia also talked about his own weight loss journey and how he plans to tackle loose skin issues.
