IN PHOTOS: How The Keto Diet Has Transformed The Lives Of These People Living In Malta
Everyone is looking for the most efficient way to shed some extra weight and this Maltese Facebook group might just have the perfect solution.
Ketonjani ta Malta u Għawdex is a 5,000 member strong group dedicated to the Ketogenic Diet and lifestyle. Though it may not be a platform for professional opinions on diet and nutrition, it is still as valuable to anyone looking to make a change in the way they eat.
“We basically teach what Keto is, guide them and help them expand their knowledge on this way of eating,” said group admin Lorraine Barbara Gill.
… and some of the success stories that have come out of it are unreal.
Claire Vally began her weight loss journey with a strict low calorie, high carb and low protein diet but despite losing a decent amount of weight, things weren’t feeling right.
“I started to look unhealthy. I still had fat to lose, but the scale was not budging. My energy was lacking, and my skin looked spongy and shrivelled. I felt like, despite looking better in smaller clothes, I was lethargic, my face sallow and eyes not as bright. I was worried about eating ‘normally’ and possibly gaining all the weight back, or falling into a yo-yo dieting lifestyle,” she said.
That’s when she took to the books and stumbled upon The Ketogenic Diet.
“It was a total head mess to begin with. It was the complete opposite of everything I had put myself through”
Yet she stuck to the fat-burning diet and it wasn’t long before it had an impact…
“I lost an immediate 7kgs of possible water weight and bloating. After that, the stubborn areas of fat started to melt away and I started to see the benefits of my hard work in my physique. My mental clarity was super too.”
Claire stuck with keto for nine months, with no carb cycling and no cheat meals and while she may not be on a strict keto diet anymore, the results of her hard work and discipline to the keto lifestyle really paid off….
The Ketonjani ta Malta u Għawdex community is full of keto success stories, such as that of Paul Richardson who not only shed 40 kgs with a strick keto and gym regimen but also overcame an autoimmune condition and went off all medications thanks to the diet…
Elaine, Doreen and Michelle are also living examples of the success keto diet has when combined with exercise and they’re transformations have been both inspirational and motivating…
Michelle lost 20kg in just 10 months on the Keto diet…
Elaine also made some drastic changes to her lifestyle and lost 22 kgs between April and July…
Ketonjani ta Malta u Għawdex has some major success stories. While the group acts as a great support function and forum for the keto diet, it truly comes down to the individual committing to a new lifestyle and the results speak for themselves.
