What Was Your Diet Like Originally?
Before, my diet would consist of 60% carbs, 20% fat, 20% protein.
What Made You Start Getting Healthy?
The doctor told me I had 2 years left to live so I knew I had to make a huge change, and it was then I found the keto-diet. For me, it made it so easy to lose weight.
What Was Your Mindset Like Before Compared To Now?
I had no confidence and hated myself. Now, I love my body and I’m not afraid of any challenges in my life.
What Small Changes Do You Think Had The Biggest Impact?
Cutting out the carbs and eating more fat. It makes me feel fuller for longer and doesn’t make me crave food as much as eating more carbs did. Also, I get my health checked regularly and I have perfect cholesterol levels.
How Did You Stay Motivated?
I take it one day at a time. I do not promise myself that I’ll stay away from carbs all my life. Just this meal, then next meal and the next and so on. All of my small promises have added up to losing 95 kilograms of fat.
Were There Any Particular Tough Points On Your Journey?
Yes. When I got married, I treated myself and ate some wedding cake and after getting married, I didn’t stop eating carbs for 9 months. It made me gain back 20 kilograms. But then I decided to take it one ‘carb free’ day at a time and I lost it all again + 15 kilos more!
What Advice Would You Give Someone Looking To Lose Weight?
Stop counting calories. Stop being so afraid of fat. Instead, cut out the carbs to 20g per day (from veggies) and fil up with fat. It’s so freaking easy and you never have to measure your food again and you can lose all that extra weight without being hungry.
What Are Your Favourite Healthy/Weight Loss Recipes?
Bacon and cheese burgers with a lot of sauce but instead of the bun or bread, you use salad or lettuce. Beef with veggies and spiced butter.
Any Advice/Tips On Prepping Meals In Advance? How Do You Do It?
I do all my lunches every Sunday and go shopping for dinners the same day. I just buy all my food that I eat for the week so there is no room for snacking.
