Suzanne
A woman, Suzanne Ryan, 34, from San Francisco, California, who
weighed nearly 300lbs has lost more than 100 pounds after embarking on
ketogenic diet.
The woman shared her photos on social media, according to Dailymail.
She revealed that the weight left her unhappy until she was able to
find success on the keto diet, which focuses on foods high in fat and
low in carbohydrates.
Four years later, mother-of-one Suzanne has lost 120lbs and often
shares her advice and recipes to her 260,000 followers on Instagram,
revealing to her fans that the main focus for her weight loss was a
desire to get healthy for her daughter, Olivia.
'One of the many reasons I decided to fight and get healthy. After Olivia was born I had a whole new purpose in life.
'I wanted desperately to be healthy, not only for myself, but
for her. I wanted to be a good example, to enjoy life and to have the
energy to keep up with her. Today, she graduated from pre-k and as I sat
there in a tiny chair meant for 4-5 year olds, I quickly thought about
how this day would have felt if I were still 300+ lbs.
'Those low chairs would have killed my knees, but I likely
wouldn’t have sat down at all due to fear of the chair breaking.
Sometimes it’s the little things that hit me. These are the times when I
see and remember how much anxiety and discomfort I felt in my body and
mind.
'And while life after losing weight is far from perfect, I feel
so thankful for my health, my family, and the ability to change.'
Now, Suzanne is eager to share that change with others, in the
hopes of inspiring them to take control of their own health and
happiness.
By following the keto diet Suzanne says she was forced to become
more aware of what ingredients she put in her body and how to create
meals she would want to eat, a knowledge that helped her to be better
and better about understanding what she should be eating and when.
After one year on keto, Suzanne was able to naturally lose 100lbs, a total that has since increased.
