Shrinking the waistline is not an easy task and dieters can get inspiration by looking to those who have recently slimmed down. After losing a remarkable amount of weight, the Reddit user, “shanners22653”, used the social media platform to share how she did it. The dieter explained she shrunk down from 20st 7lb to a much trimmer 13st 4lb. Speaking in her post, she explained the low carb keto diet plan helped her shape up.
In her post, “shanners22653” also revealed she is 22-years-old and 5ft 9in and the transformation took her nine months.
She said: “Went from wearing 2 to 3XL in shirts and dresses and 22 to 24 in pants to size medium tops and size 8 pants.”
The dieter said she started following a keto, or ketogenic, diet to achieve her slim frame.
Those following the plan eat food high in healthy fats, low in carbs and with a moderate protein content.
This is believed to help the body enter into the fat-burning state, ketosis, which increases fat burning.
On the plan, the Reddit user probably tucked into keto-friendly foods including meats, fish, nuts, avocados and eggs.
Those on the plan stay clear of high carb foods such as bread, pasta, rice and sugary sweets.
When it came to losing weight, “shanners22653” focused on diet more than exercise.
She said: “I have exercised on and off throughout my weight loss but I am not currently doing any kind of exercise regimen.”
Other users soon commented on her impressive transformation.
One said: “That is just amazing! Congratulations!”
