Keto Means

Today, I try to follow the 80/20 diet with my eating over the week, meaning I eat 80 percent healthy and low-carb (not necessarily keto anymore), and I enjoy treats and allow myself to indulge 20 percent of the time.

Read More »My name is Julia Tobeck (@julesfit.journey), I'm 26 and I'm from Austin, Texas. I currently work in administration in the dental field and am currently training to become a cycling instructor. After years of phoning it in throughout life, I got serious about weight loss and tried low-carb approaches—and I've lost 80 pounds. I gained 80-plus pounds during my pregnancy. After I had my daughter, I lost close to 35 pounds within two to three months. But I ended up gaining it all back. I had tried every "quick fix" there is out there, from diet pills to teas to body wraps. When my daughter’s first birthday rolled around, I was still overweight, and I felt discouraged and stuck. As my daughter became more active, I found I was having a hard time keeping up with her. I also always tried to hide in family pictures, and shopping for clothes was something I avoided at all costs.

Read More »I went full-on keto for three to four months in 2018 to help me bust through a weight-loss plateau, and I found that keto made me more aware of what I was eating, and of looking at labels more closely. I also cut out sodas and energy drinks (I was drinking at least two to three a day) and started drinking half my weight in ounces of water per day (I still do this!). I also try to make sure I always have protein and veggies in my meals. Now that I've been maintaining my weight loss for the last year, I eat intuitively. I've learned to eat when I'm hungry, and not to overeat (as in, until I'm stuffed). Today, I try to follow the 80/20 diet with my eating over the week, meaning I eat 80 percent healthy and low-carb (not necessarily keto anymore), and I enjoy treats and allow myself to indulge 20 percent of the time.

Read More »Since 2017, I have lost 117 pounds—all while maintaining my weight loss and still enjoying life. Before I started this weight-loss journey, I wish had known how much mental toughness it would require. Following a workout plan or meal plan is straightforward and simple; having the right mindset and unlearning past habits is what makes it challenging. You have to be prepared to make a lifestyle change. So yes, weight loss has been a challenge (of course). But I've learned so much about how strong I am as an individual after going through this process, and it really does make me feel like I can take on the world knowing I am in control of my own life and choices. I can say with complete confidence that I am the healthiest I have ever been. That feeling of knowing I worked so hard for this, and did it on my own, has brought me such confidence (something I lacked my entire life). I'll be honest, I do struggle with accepting the loose skin. But I try to look at my stretch marks as a story. The experience has helped me understand the meaning of "self-love"— when you love yourself and are able to take care of yourself, only then are you really able to let your love and care shine on to others. I had to constantly remind myself that change does not happen overnight. So learn to be patient and gentle with yourself. Whether you have to set alarms, find an accountability partner, write down you plans—just keep going. You won't make any progress if you stop or give up, and even a little progress is worth celebrating.
