[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Hello, my friends. My name is Heather. This is our most homemade king and today we're going to talk about how I lost almost 20 pounds in four weeks by doing the keto diet. You heard that right. I lost 18.3 pounds. I've noticed my phone in four weeks. A little over two months ago, I gave birth to my fourth baby boy if you did not know. Everybody's body has kind of a resting weight where your body just kind of sits. When I am kind of eating smart and not really dieting, I sit around 140 or so. I'm pretty short. That's actually I would really like to stay around 130. But if I'm not working out and I'm not eating healthy, I sit around 140 or so. When I'm eating healthy and working out like a, you know, like you should just feel your body, I sit around 130 or so. So when I got pregnant with Mason, I weighed on my very first appointment. I weighed 154 pounds. So I was quite about higher than my normal everyday weight. You're going to hear Leo and Mason. They're in the other room. Mason is in his swing and Leo is just playing. So they're just right next door. You're probably going to hear them making some noise. Hopefully that's not too distracting. When I went in for my very first appointment, I weighed 154 pounds. So that's quite a bit more than what I would consider my resting normal weight. And then on top of that, you know, when you're pregnant, you gain weight. So the day I gave birth, I weighed 185 pounds. And I'm very short. So not only did I have a belly, but my arms got larger, my face gained weight, I gained weight, you know, all over. Oh, the back. I really can, I gained weight quick there. But I knew the day that I had him that I wanted to lose some weight, but I gave my body time to rest and heal because, you know, I just remember. So I decided that I was going to do something different. Chris and I have talked about the keto diet multiple times. We have tried every diet under the sun. We've done all the program beach fight programs, less than most programs. We did like tie but like we you never leave the amount of exercise as we have done. And they have been hard to maintain. When I'm dieting, I feel hungry all the time. I'm constantly obsessing over the numbers, you know, tracking my calories and I'm hungry. Anyway, I'm not when I'm dieting, I'm hungry. I don't have a lot of energy. And I just generally feel crabby because you know, you're you're very restricted when you're on what you would call a diet. After my six week postpartum checkup, I decided that I was going to really give keto a try. We started keto. We've been doing keto now for four weeks. We took a week off to go camping. That was we ate everything inside. So we don't really count that week. For the first week of keto, we did really well. I felt great. I dropped 11 pounds in the first week. Which is a lot of weight. A lot of that is water that your body holds on to because it's bloated from all the stuff, the sugars and stuff that you're eating. But I lost 11 pounds in the first week. And we took the second week. We went camping almost six days. So we did not do keto while we were camping. Although we could have after we we thought about it when we were camping. But we came home and went immediately back to keto. And since then I have lost another 7.3 pounds. So my total weight loss and the four weeks of keto that we did is 18.3 pounds. That's a lot of weight to lose in less than a month. And the most impressive part at least to me is that my body fat has gone down almost 5% in just four weeks. So I'm losing fat. We have a Fitbit Arya scale. So it shows you your weight and it shows you your body fat percentage. And mine went from 40%. I told you I had a lot of fat online. I'm only 5.3. So that's a lot of fat to be on my small frame. I went from 40% to 35.4. I would also like to add that this is without doing any workouts of any kind. We are a very busy season of life. So we haven't been able to do a lot of workouts. So it's a really good diet. We're not hungry. We feel very satisfied. You know, I guess it's something I don't know a lot about keto. So I'm not an expert. I'm not going to be able to give you a lot of advice on it. I could just tell you what worked for me. But I guess it's where you eat a lot of fat. It keeps you full. I generally don't eat until after 1 o'clock in the evening. Like it's actually 202 right now. I watch. It's actually 202 right now and I haven't eaten anything today and I'm not hungry. I will get something very shortly because I'll have to leave to get kids. But I don't want to be super hungry by dinner time. So I will probably eat soon. But on the keto diet, you really, you're not hungry. I have had no cravings. I feel better than I have in years. My skin looks better than it has in years. I have no breakouts anymore. I don't know why I didn't do the sooner. It is an amazing diet and I personally both feel fabulous. He's also lost almost 20 pounds. His body seems to react to it just a little bit differently than mine. He's losing weight. It's just not as quickly as my body has been dropping it off. I actually think that might have to do with I'm also nursing. I'm breastfeeding while I'm doing it. It hasn't interfered with that in any way. She perform. Mason still gobbles up booby all day every day. He's getting lots and lots of milk because when we had him to the pediatrician, he's in the 99th percentile for weight. At his two month appointment, he weighed 15 pounds, 7 ounces, which is a very big two month old baby. Clearly, it doesn't affect my body and breastfeeding. We plan to continue the keto diet as long as it's working for us when we feel good and healthy. We had one cheat day actually. It was about a week ago. We probably won't do that again because we just felt crappy the next day. I felt fluggish and bloated and I just couldn't wake up. I don't know a lot about it. I can't really give an informative video. I'm just giving my results. I'm going to insert a picture so that you can see. The first picture is my day one. The middle picture is actually my week one results and then the third picture is my week four results. I wish that I had taken inches measurements but I forgot to until I was already a week through it. By then I was like, well that's the point of thumb already. This far intimate. That's my cue. That's the time to go. Anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed it. I hope it wasn't too scared of brain. I will see you guys in my next video. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. I'll see you guys next time. Bye guys.
