Before and after
Traci had made several attempts to lose weight, but it wasn’t until she found the ketogenic diet that she achieved great success and lost a 100 lbs (45 kg). And surprisingly she ended up sticking with it for the long run, in spite of people deeming it a ‘fad’:
If you’re interested in trying this diet, you might find some inspiration in Traci’s food choices.
A typical day of eating for her might include black coffee and a couple of eggsat breakfast, tuna fish salad with mayonnaise at lunch, and vegetables like broccoli along with a cut of meat at dinner. When she snacks, she usually reaches for almonds or a cheese stick, and limits all sugar and alcohol.
