Losing 120 Pounds with Keto And The Right Mindset Name : Suzanne Ryan Age : 33 Height : 5’11” Pre-keto weight : 289 lbs (131 kg) Current weigh t: 170 lbs (77 kg) For years, she struggled with obesity and the anxiety, depression, and hopelessness that accompanied it. “I was actually pretty thin up until middle school,” Suzanne remembers. “But after my parents divorced and my brother and I ended up living with my father, I was dealing with a lot of emotional issues, and food became a source of comfort.” Moreover, the food that was available to her had little nutritional value. As busy man with limited financial resources, Suzanne’s father often took the family to McDonald’s, pizza, and other fast food places. “I also drank soda all the time. It was our main beverage.

Most people genuinely lose weight when following a low-carb diet and a low-carb diet is believed best for those who want to shift pockets of fat that form around the belly. Dieticians have told us for years that if you eat a high-carb diet then expect fat to gather around the tummy area (particularly for men but just as likely for women too). Therefore, common sense says that one of the best ways to lose weight and keep it off is to cut out the carbs or at least reduce carb intake. Now, carbs are still necessary because the body converts carbohydrates into energy and then the body’s cells convert energy into glucose. However, if you eat too many carbs than your body needs, it converts it instead into “glycogen”, otherwise known as stored energy. Once these glycogen stores are maxed out, any more carbs ingested simply get converted straight into fat.
