1) 50 Pounds Lost and Health Recovered On A Primal Diet
Kim Finnigan from Nearly Natural Momma
After being diagnosed with a serious condition that could lead to blindness, Kim was told by her doctor that there was correlation between her condition and excess weight and that she had to lose weight.
After trying and struggling with various weight loss diets, she was introduced to The Primal Diet and effortlessly shed 50 pounds. The best part is that she was able to come off her medication and get her health back.
‘My best friend Jessica then introduced me to the Primal Diet. Within two weeks of starting, I lost 10lbs and successfully cut my medication in half. By cutting out two main systemic inflammatories (grains, and sugars) I was able to maintain my cranial pressure on just 500mg. Thrilled, I kept at it and the pounds just kept coming off. ‘

3) Dropped 2 Dress Sizes in 30 Days on The Whole30 Diet
Kirsten McCormick from Cheerfully Imperfect
After having her fourth baby, Kirsten struggled to lose her pregnancy weight despite eating a healthy diet.
She finally came to the conclusion that eating grains was stopping her body shed the pounds. When she cut out grains and sugar on the Whole 30 Diet, she was finally able to drop 2 dress sizes and reach her ideal weight.
‘I simply couldn’t shake my baby weight. I am eating healthy??? What the heck is wrong? I didn’t drink soda, eat junk food or candy. Everything in my diet was nutrient dense and wholesome. I don’t even eat a lot! Then it dawned on me.Maybe it was the grains!’

4) How I lost 10 Pounds in One Month With My Fitbit
Ann Marie from Cheeseslave
When Ann Marie began to focus on health rather than dieting, she got healthy but struggled for a long time to lose her baby weight. Although her diet was healthy, she wasn’t doing any exercise.
But one day she woke up and had a desire to exercise again. Her body had gone through the necessary healing and was now ready to get her fit.
Sometimes when you change your diet, your body has to rest so that it can heal. But once the healing has taken place, you’ll find yourself full of loads of energy that you’ll just HAVE to burn!
Ann Marie used the Fitbit to find out exactly how many calories her body needed to lose weight. Even though she had been eating healthy food, she’d been eating too much and doing too little exercise. She used the fitbit to turn workouts into a game and to track her healthy diet. This combination was successful in helping her to achieve her weight loss and fitness goals.
‘I eat WHATEVER I want. I do not count calories or carbs. That NEVER works for me because I feel restricted and then I want to binge. And it’s not sustainable anyway. I don’t want to spend my life counting calories or avoiding foods I love. I eat what I love now, I just eat less of it.
All I do is enter what I eat into the FitBit dashboard but that is it. Then I just stay under the limit. At the end of the day, I know whether I can have a little ice cream or another glass of wine.
And this really motivates me to be more active. I don’t mind doing an extra 10 minutes of kettlebell if I know I can have another glass of wine and a couple chocolate chip cookies.’

5) 47 Pounds lost on a Traditional Food Diet
Allison Goines from Our Small Hours
A lot of people find when they change their diet for a truly healthy, real food diet, that the weight loss is effortless and they don’t feel hungry.
This is because when you eat food that is designed for the body, every cell in your body is nourished and it stops craving more food. This means that you just don’t feel hungry.
Allison lost 47 pounds said that a traditional foods diet was the easiest and most pleasurable diet she’s ever been on. And she wasn’t even trying to lose weight!
‘I don’t know many people who eat a traditional foods diet who are doing it in order to lose weight. Weight loss is sometimes a nice side effect of such a way of eating, but I don’t think that it is often the main goal. ‘
Allison wrote this post about her traditional foods diet, and then followed up with this great post after losing 47 pounds. Read her amazing story now.
6) I’ve Lost 40 Pounds (So Far!) with Ketosis and a High Fat Diet
Kim Knock from Eat Fat Lose Fat Blog
Kim Knock had always struggled to lose weight, even on a healthy real foods diet. It wasn’t until she discovered a Ketosis diet that the weight finally started to shift.
Despite many set backs, Kim was able to drop 40 pounds. The best part for her was that even when she wasn’t able to stick to her diet, she didn’t put the weight back on as she had done previously.
‘The weight began FALLING off of me again, and I’ve lost a total of 40 pounds. No one is more surprised than I am because I’ve never lost more than 10 pounds on any diet in my entire life. And the best thing is: I CAN SEE MYSELF DOING THIS FOREVER!!! I’ve basically been doing it for a year now and have only had a few minor lapses.’

I love this Katherine! :)
Thank you Stephanie!
Very inspiring! I hope to have a success story like this someday. I have about 150lbs to lose, and it feels very overwhelming.
Thank you for sharing…I actually started having smoothies because of your Thickies site:) I have been gluten free & dairy free for 5 years & eat mea in moderation. I focus on more fruits & veggies…that’s why I love smoothies. Thanks again.
It is so refreshing to see true stories of women who have lost weight in different ways. Sometimes, it seems like people want to shove one type of eating/diet plan down your throat as the “right” and “only” weight loss plan. This was an inspiring post, thank you for the wonderful reading material. :)
