A couple who managed to shed an impressive 200lbs (90kg) between them have revealed the secret to their weight loss success – cutting out one thing.
Juggling a hectic work schedule, social events, housework, and more can often leave us feeling too exhausted to even think about working out or cooking a healthy meal at the end of the day.
As we all know, maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is not only beneficial for our physical health, but also for our mental well-being, skin condition and general energy levels.
A couple recently left internet users in awe after sharing their dramatic transformation online, which makes them “look 20 years younger”. The couple themselves say they are “happier than ever”.
The husband took to Reddit to share a side-by-side comparison of their incredible transformation. User @moseyeslee added to the caption: “After 27 years we finally made it. We fought cancer but it keeps us motivated.”
His wife attributed their weight loss journey to joining a gym and adopting the Keto diet – a high-fat, low-carb eating plan. This typically includes seafood, meat and poultry, non-starchy vegetables, full-fat dairy products, and oils.
She added: “We committed and then chose what we thought was the best way for us, which was Keto and joining a gym. Quote I think a lot: ‘If you want to be skinny, lose weight, if you want to be healthy, work out.’
“We wanted both health and exercise,” he added. “I often tell people that they’re not different than us, other than us are doing this, and they just have to start.”
Social media users were quick to comment on the change, saying: “You both look 20 years younger,” while another added: “You both look so healthy.”
Another commenter replied: “You guys are amazing! I love the progress!” And a fourth wrote: “Great job! And congrats on beating cancer.”
One person even asked if the couple was happier after their makeover, to which the husband replied, “It took a little more work than the weight loss, but yeah. I’d say we were happier right now than we’ve ever been.”
