Her Keto Weight Loss Stalled at 20 Pounds — Cutting Dairy Took Off 15 More Right Away
2 min read · RealCase summary
Kathleen, a 65-year-old pastor's wife, started a ketogenic plan from the site Ruled.me at 200 pounds. Early on she lost about four pounds a week, using stevia for sweetness and making 'fat bombs' a favorite recipe.
After 20 pounds, the scale stopped moving. She emailed for advice and was told to cut out some of the dairy she was eating. Once she did, she lost 15 more pounds right away and another five over the following year.
That brought her to 160 pounds, a 40-pound loss, with a goal of 140. Even when her weight held steady, she kept losing inches and noticed her shape changing. 'I am half the person that I used to be and will never, ever go back,' she said.
Key takeaways
- ›Started at 200 pounds; lost about 4 pounds a week at first
- ›Stalled after losing 20 pounds
- ›Cutting dairy brought 15 more pounds off quickly, then 5 more over a year
- ›Down to 160 pounds — 40 pounds total — and still losing inches
