Kristen Is the Healthiest She’s Been

Kristen Is the Healthiest She’s Been

I have yo yo dieted for many years, and boy do I love a great competition. So I would join as many weight loss competitions as there were and I won a few, only to gain the weight back! Then my health started to suffer, GI issues, heart arrhythmia, and I needed to get a hysterectomy. I gained lots of weight.

Jessie Is Down 50 lbs and Crushed Her Goals

I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life, but I was my biggest (over 200lbs) after having my three amazing boys (singleton and twins). I started Keto for a few months to get ready for a wedding last year and I felt amazing. I had lost 20lbs, but my old eating habits came back. Along with my old eating habits, the depression came back too. I finally dug myself out of the hole I was in and started keto back up for the New Year. I crushed my goals, ran a handful of 5ks, competed in a tough ...

Kacie Has Lost Over 70 Pounds On Keto

I had tried low-fat, I had tried Atkins, slim fast, weight watchers, even the South Beach diet, every fad diet you can think of, to varying degrees of success.

The pictures ...

Brayden Met His Weight and Fitness Goals

Since 2011 I’d struggled with my weight. Putting on a few extra pounds after getting married didn’t help the situation. I wasn’t obese per se, but I was definitely overweight. I wasn’t sick and didn’t feel “unhealthy,” in fact, I trained for and raced in a sprint triathlon. But buying bigger clothes and generally getting bigger and bigger had a toll on my mind. My wife and I had tried several different diets, including the raw food diet, a juice diet, slow-carb diet, etc. We even tried keto, but ...
