Todos sabemos que lo más difícil al momento de seguir una dieta, es evitar las comidas que más nos gustan. A pesar de que es importante controlar los hábitos alimenticios, no siempre es fácil hacerlo.

Sin embargo, el reciente caso de una mujer que logró bajar considerablemente de peso sin dejar de comer grasas ha dado la vuelta al mundo.

Se trata de Suzanne Ryan, una madre de 31 años de San Francisco, California. “Luché contra mi peso toda mi vida, intenté muchas dietas pero ninguna funcionó”, señaló la mujer según consignó el sitio británico Daily Mail. Agregó que sus problemas de peso comenzaron junto con el divorcio de sus padres, cuando era una niña.

I love this quote that says, "You are in no way obligated to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago". I think for so long I never changed because I was set in my ways, comfortable (in some ways), and afraid. Weight loss is mostly a mental battle. It's all about prioritizing yourself over temptations and fighting off self destructive behavior. Over the past 11 months I've realize more and more that weight loss is about so much more than calories in vs calories out and eating the right foods. It's about relearning habits, working through your past, finding new ways to deal with emotions, and loving yourself. I'm so incredibly thankful for each of you and everything I've learned over this past year! #keto #lchf #lowcarb #ketogenic #weightloss #transformationtuesday #beforeandafter #progress #progresspic

I made this side by side a few days ago and decided not to post it because of the shame and embarrassment that I felt about the first picture. After giving myself some time, I realized that those are the very feelings that I need to face…so that they don't have to define me or hold me back anymore. This is definitely the hardest thing for me to post so far, but I have to be real and face this. It's uncomfortable…but part of my journey. I remember trying to find bras that would smooth or flatten the rolls on my back. Often referred to as "back boobs", I felt so disgusted with myself. I often thought, how the heck did I let it get this bad?!? The truth is that I used food for every emotion, sadness was my biggest trigger, but I definitely had my fair share of celebration meals. I've learned little by little to deal with my emotions and stress in a different way, and now view food completely differently. This definitely didn't happen overnight, but over the past 10 months I've recognized and pushed myself to face these uncomfortable truths. It's so much easier (in some ways) to just ignore the issue and continue to eat poorly, but I can't even begin to explain how glad I am that I decided to change. P.S. No, I don't want to buy your wraps, shakes or supplements. Lifestyle changes are free. #keto #lchf #weightloss #lowcarb #progress

La mujer pesaba 289 libras (cerca de 130 kg), sin embargo con su perseverancia y esfuerzo logró bajar a 197 libras (90 kg aproximadamente).

“Pedí hora para realizarme un bypass gástrico. Estaba en un momento en que debía hacer algo drástico, pero hice una investigación y cancelé la cita con el cirujano, comenzando mi nueva vida el 13 de enero”, agregó la decidida mujer.

Fue entonces cuando Suzanne modificó su dieta, eliminando las golosinas azucaradas, reduciendo los carbohidratos como las pastas y las papas, reemplazándolas por carne y vegetales.

Size 24➡️18➡️14 When I started my weight loss journey on January 13th, I hoped to wake up on January 14th at my goal weight. Obviously this didn't happen, but I will say the time has passed so quickly. At first I thought I wouldn't be happy until I hit my goal, which seemed so far away, and made the process feel so overwhelming. What I actually found was there are SO many victories with personal growth and weight loss along the way to be excited about. Don't forget to celebrate every step of your journey. Know that you will have setbacks, ups, downs, doubts, and joy….strive for progress, not perfection! This means not letting the scale define your success…if you're eating well, facing your food habits head on and staying consistent, that's a win regardless of a number on the scale. We all want to lose weight, but the best way to lose weight long-term will come from your daily habits. Shift your focus to lifestyle and the results will follow. ❤️ Have a great weekend, stay on track, and never ever give up! #keto #sugarfree #saturday #ketogenic #lchf #lowcarb

I'll never forget how shocked and ashamed I felt when I saw the first picture. I knew I was overweight and that my diet was terrible, but it was always WAY too hard to face. I was drinking almost a 2 liter of ginger ale or Coke a day, and my food choices were always carb heavy. I felt sick to my stomach all the time (since I was a kid), even to the point that I had some testing done to see if something was wrong. After cutting out sugar and most carbs I haven't had a single stomach issue since January. I also can't help but find it funny that no one ever asked the 289 lb me about my cholesterol or food choices, yet that's one of the main question I get asked now. I'm glad to see so many amazing scientific articles and studies being done on LCHF lifestyles, and I know this way of eating can change so many people's lives. I was the girl who couldn't stick to anything, I tried it all and never lasted more than a few days, or weeks, if I was lucky. I gave up more times than I can count, but there's no stopping me now. Food no longer has the same power over me and I can't even begin to tell you what a relief that is. #facetofacefriday #keto #change #beforeandafter #progresspic #lowcarb #lchf #progress

De esta manera, en apenas 10 meses logró bajar 40 kg sin haber entrado a un pabellón de cirugía.

“Lo mejor de todo es que no te privas de las comidas. Yo como carnes con grasa, lácteos, queso y tocino”, declaró.

Suzanne compartió su inspiradora transformación a través de un blog llamado Ketokarma, en donde además aprovecha de dar tips e ideas de recetas.

También convenció a su esposo, Mick, para que se involucrara en el tema, logrando que él perdiera 70 libras (cerca de 30 kg) desde abril, con la misma dieta. “Estaba desesperada por salir y decirle a los demás que sí es posible. Quiero que sepan que no tienen que gastar grandes sumas de dinero en productos o seguir ridículas dietas”, aseveró.
