2 min read · RealCase summary
At her peak, Misty Mitchell of Texas was drinking about half a liter of vodka a day — roughly 11 drinks and about 1,000 calories — according to TODAY. In February 2015 she quit drinking and, at the same time, started a ketogenic diet, keeping carbs under 20 grams a day.
The first six months brought 60 pounds off. In November 2015 she started exercising, and by the time of the story a year later she had missed only two days.
In total she went from 296 to 157 pounds, a loss of 139 pounds, with her body fat dropping from 60% to 25%. 'I really like who I am now and it is who I always wanted to be. If I can do it, anyone can do it,' the 36-year-old said.
