How Tanisha Kept It Simple on Keto and Lost 80 Pounds in 8 Months

tanisha

Even though Tanisha’s weight fluctuated throughout her whole childhood, it wasn’t until college that she truly started to pack on the pounds. After she graduated she tried every diet under the sun to lose the 100 pounds (45 kg) that she had gained, but without any success.
“I was a total carb addict, and I used to eat candy daily. Even when I was dieting it was very carb heavy.” When she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, she made a resolution to make a change. “I realized that I would become pre-diabetic soon, and it became the kick in the butt that I needed.”
Her first reaction was to look into weight-loss surgery, but her insurance wouldn’t cover it. Perhaps it was fate, because soon afterwards she met up with a friend who had lost a lot of weight with keto. Tanisha became interested because it sounded so different from everything else that she had tried.
In May 2018, Tanisha went low carb, and then in July she went full-on keto.
The first week of keto did not go as expected. “I did no research and lived off pulled pork with barbecue sauce, and bacon.” She gained weight and felt ill.
After reading many articles about common pitfalls and how to do the diet properly, she made sure to read labels and track her carb intake. In about eight months she lost 80 lbs (36 kg). Her weight loss slowed down when she stopped tracking, and as a consequence she stresses the importance of keeping an eye on what you’re eating.

A typical day of eating

Tanisha eats three meals on most days, and she doesn’t fast. Some of the foods which she typically consumes are:
  • Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese and avocado
  • Lunch: Kale and Italian sausage
  • Dinner: Shrimp and riced cauliflower with butter
  • Snacks (occasionally): Almonds or pepperoni
  • Dessert: Berries and sugar-free whipped cream
Before Tanisha started eating keto she exercised a lot, but it didn’t help her lose any weight. For that reason, she doesn’t think exercise is essential. When she just started keto she stopped exercising entirely so that she could focus on creating better eating habits without feeling overwhelmed.

Tanisha’s top tips for people new to keto

Tanisha offers three pieces of advice for anyone who is just starting out.



  • Take it easy on yourself. It is important to understand that we all make mistakes (which we then can learn from), and that it is a natural part of any weight-loss journey.
  • “You didn’t put the weight on overnight, so you shouldn’t expect to lose it overnight.” Having realistic expectations will set you up for success. Celebrating non-scale victories will help you stay motivated if you reach a stall.
  • Track your food. Read labels, look at the ingredients and count carbs. This is the easiest way to learn how to do keto correctly.

    ”All this by Flavor-Pairing?” I asked.
    I met an old friend for lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good she looked.
    She said, “It’s not so much about the Flavor-Pairing, but more about how it re-awakens what the Custom Keto Diet call, ‘the weight loss doubling molecule’ which signals 22-hour a day fat-burning effect in the female body.”
    Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.
    Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…
    They’re right – it actually took me 16 days to lose 22 pounds.
    Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently 💅

    Advice from 43-Year-Old Mom Who Lost Over 40 Pounds In Less Than 30 Days

    Resim
    My name is Sharon Munroe. And I’m 43 years young! I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you… I was always one of the cool girls in school. I was captain of the cheerleading squad and was homecoming queen my senior year. What’s more, I was one of those ‘skinny’ girls you love to hate. I was able to eat anything I wanted and still kept to a size 2. Heck, I didn’t even have to work out to keep my firm and toned body shape. I used to chalk up my slimming figure to genetics. After college, I married my high school sweetheart, Tyler. We backpacked through Europe for a year and then settled in St Louis with full-time jobs. About 3 years into our marriage, I gave birth to our firstborn child – a wonderful boy named Aiden. And that’s when everything went downhill. I was no longer skinny. I had gained 60 pounds while pregnant with Aiden. And no matter what I did after giving birth, I had not been able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. As time went on, the busier

    Advice From 42 Year Old Woman Who Lost 80 Pounds in 8 Months

    I’m Jenny, and I’m 42 years young! Here’s how an ancient secret tea recipe helped me drop 6 dress sizes in just 8 months. I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you… My first vivid memory of being told I was overweight was at a doctor’s office when I was 14. I had a doctor who spoke angrily at Mom in front of me, telling her that she had failed as a mother for letting me get this big. And that I needed to go on a diet immediately. I could not blame Mom entirely for my weight gain. Dad left us both when I was 11. With mom having to work long hours to support us, meals came from fast food joints and in the form of tv dinners. I never did lose weight and continued the struggle well into adulthood. As an adult, the extra weight made me sick, frequently experiencing symptoms that include: knee, back and joint pains prolonged dull headaches difficulty concentrating waking up feeling tired even after sleeping 8 hours easily getting upset and feeling moody Desperate
