Anna Lost 100lbs and Got Her Health Back

In Anna’s own words, “I’m just a mom who grew up in the standard American food system, became a victim of it, and now I’m trying to break free from that system for my own health and lost 100 lbs along the way. I’m constantly learning more and trying to figure out how to set my own family up for health and success as they grow…not perfectly, just consistently. I’m on instagram to encourage women that anyone can do what I’ve done.” https://www.instagram.com/annas_lost_it/ Anna starts by telling me that she has always been drawn to butter and other good things but was convinced by her family and the media that margarine was a better option. However, she later discovered that this advice was false. When asked for advice on those struggling to give up their standard American/Western diet, she suggests giving the keto diet a try for at least 12 weeks and explains the potential benefits such as mental clarity and increased energy. Anna was formerly obese, but after trying many different diets, they found success with the keto diet combined with intermittent fasting. Anna believes that the key to weight loss is making oneself as robust as possible, both physically and mentally. She also mentions the importance of understanding how a woman's cycle can affect weight loss and recommended paying attention to this when trying to lose weight. The person's family has also seen success with making dietary changes, including cutting out processed foods and snacking. Her family have lost a combined total of over 400lbs!
