A Working Mom of Two Lost 120 Pounds After Years of Yo-Yo Dieting — by Eating Only Animal Products
3 min read · RealCase summary
Laura Spath, a 34-year-old working mother of two, reached roughly 220 pounds before switching to a strict carnivore diet three years before being profiled in April 2022.
She follows a one-meal-a-day approach built around a single food to avoid triggering cravings — typically "a two-pound grilled Ribeye steak at noon, and then nothing else the rest of the day." "I feel freedom in restriction and it is the place where I am most healthy," she said.
Spath lost 120 pounds in total, including 80 pounds through diet alone before she added weightlifting classes two to three times a week. She has said the change reversed her digestive issues, cleared her acne, regrew her hair, and reduced her anxiety and stress to the point that she no longer needed multiple medications.
Her family adopted the same high-protein, whole-food approach, cutting out grains, sugars, and seed oils for her children as well. Her husband, Chris, reversed his Type 2 diabetes and has been medication-free for two years.
Key takeaways
- ›Spent years cycling through various diets before trying a carnivore approach
- ›Adopted an animal-products-only eating pattern while working full-time and raising two kids
- ›Lost 120 pounds and has kept it off long-term, unlike her previous attempts
