27 Keto Diet Before-And-After Photos That Will Make Your Jaw Drop
If you’re on the keto diet, you’re probably thirsty for all keto content, all the time; if you’re not, well, sorry in advance because here comes even more: enter, these inspirational AF keto diet before-and-after photos.
A little background on the keto diet if you haven’t been following along at home: It’s short for “ketogenic,” and promotes weight loss through a diet low in carbohydrates (less than 20 grams a day), high in protein, and moderately high in fat—picture a dinner plate featuring a salmon filet, a mound of broccoli, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Instagram alone has a wealth of keto-focused hashtags that highlight crazy keto transformations (#ketotransformation and #ketofam, to name a few). And if the below photos don’t spark your keto-interest, some of the captions definitely will.
“I’ve never been so happy with a diet in my life,” says @the_keto_wife. “The keto diet and regular exercise have made me into the healthy mom and wife my family and I deserve,” says @keykeypeaches; and per @byebye.carbs, “Keto has worked wonders for my body.”
Of course, celebs are pretty crazy for it too—s/o Halle Berry, Kourtney Kardashian, and Vanessa Hudgens, to name a few. But honestly, these real-person transformations are where it’s at (they may even tempt you into stocking up on avocados, lean meats, and cheese the next time you’re at the grocery store).
Something to keep in mind if you are (or this story makes you) keto-curious: the diet isn’t exactly meant to be long-term, according to Scott Keatley, R.D., of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy. (It’s a little too restrictive for that—literally so much meat and cheese.) You should also check with your doctor before starting any new diet plan.
Still, a little extra motivation never hurt anyone. Check out the impressive before-and-after shots below—they may just turn you into a keto convert.

#TRANSFORMATION STORY PLEASE READ: I used to be severely overweight for a period of my life (probably considered obese). Some people have known me a long time and have seen my #progress, but some only know me now and don’t know what I used to be. There are a few years of my life with zero to very few pictures of me because I hated the way I looked. After getting out of a toxic relationship (when I ate my feelings out of depression), I was able to lose a little bit on my own by focusing on #me and getting back into activities I loved (musical theater) and overall being happy again. But I was still overweight and sort of hit a plateau, so I gave up on trying because nothing seemed to be working. It wasn’t until October of 2016 that I learned about the #ketogenic lifestyle and started that way of eating and was able to lose 10 pounds in 2 months, just from making better food choices. In January of 2017, I began a fitness regime, going to the #gym about 4-5 days a week doing a mix of weight lifting and cardio. My plan was to hit my #goal weight within one year. (To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to do it, but told myself I’d be happy if I got close.) It’s been one year since I did my first #workout on my own and I am so excited to say that I did it…I HIT MY GOAL WEIGHT!!! From June 2015 to now, I have lost about 76 pounds/7 dress sizes and I’m a happier, healthier, and stronger version of myself than I ever was before! It’s not just about the number and how I look, but I’ve learned that I need to take care of my body from the inside out for #health reasons too. I now have more energy and I feel absolutely amazing. I finally feel like the version of myself that I always envisioned in my head. This has been a long and hard #journey and there were many times I thought I might give up. I’m sharing these pictures not out of vanity, but because I’m just so #happy that I did it and I want people to know that you can do whatever you set your mind to!! ?????? #follow

I’ve been asked a lot about #Keto, and if I think it really works. As of today…I’ve lost almost 40 pounds, have a ton of energy and am seeing a difference with my memory (also had a TBI in my accident). This isnt a “diet” it’s a way of life. If I can eat cheese and lose weight…count me in. #amysarmy #ketogenic @jason.wittrock

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities.

Transformation Tuesday::: I wore shorts once last year, i felt good because they were a size 16 I think, down from a size 20. My size 2 shorts in the after picture are now too big. About a year between these pictures and at least 100lbs. I was working out, but @coach_jmo had just had the food conversation with me. It was vacation time and I was sad about not being beach ready in a little over 3 months. ? I was still making bad choices to help me cope with my weight gain from Postpartum depression and anxiety. I was still eating horribly, with cheat weekends and lots of pizza. ? I still thought exercising was enough to help me reach my goals. Working out 7 days a week with my trainer and a Ketogenic diet have changed my life. Down from a size 18/20 to a Size 0/2, over 130 pounds, and over 115 inches. ???

1st Tippy Tale is now live!?My 31-Day Keto Diet Transformation! (Link in bio) Truth: The last few months of 2017 was rough for me. With so many life changes happening, I found myself at the corner of mental and physical exhaustion. Bottling so much inside, I let my stress take the best of me. I started to neglect my health in ways I haven’t done in years. I desperately needed positive change. I desperately needed myself back… . . I talk about the horrible side effects that happened to me during those 3 months of neglect and my 31-day Keto diet journey to reset my lifestyle. You can watch my YouTube video (link in bio) or read my blog post on my website (tippytales.com) for details on the Keto diet, how I went about doing it, my honest opinion, my results, my current status 2 months post my reset and if I am making it a lifestyle.?☺️ . . Putting yourself out there and showing a before and after picture is scary for a lot of people. I am no different to this thought but I needed to share this. Why? Quite frankly because I am proud and I know how hard I worked to get myself back. Although my aesthetics did change, I know the bigger change is within. I can full heartedly say I love my body and the woman I’ve become from this fight to get myself back. If this inspires one person to believe in themselves a little more today than yesterday then these series of awkward poses served its purpose.? . . We are all human and some times we have setbacks in life. I believe setbacks are there for a reason..to test us. To test how bad we truly and deeply want it. Besides, what’s a good story without a killer comeback?! Not a good one in my humble opinion.? #TippyTales ?

(60/60) 17.5 inches ? and I lost 23 pounds!!! . Today is a BIG, BIG deal for me. I’m celebrating #60daysketo and I’ve lost and gained so many things! . What I’ve lost on #keto : ?23 pounds ?2.25 inches on arms ?3 inches on waist ? 5.5 inches on pooch ?3.5 inches on hips ?1.75 inches on each thigh ?1.5 inches on each calf . YOU GUYS, I lost 23#, and more than 17.5 inches in only 60 days in #ketosis !!! . Because of having surgery only a couple of weeks into my 60 day goal, I wasn’t even able to work out much, and so I’m just now getting back into the swing of #powerlifting again, so almost ALL of this is by diet alone. . I didn’t count calories, I only counted my carb and stayed below 40 net carbs every day. . So what comes next? . Well first, new swimsuits. Mine are falling off, and I can see baby abs coming through, so HELLO TWO PIECE! . I am also sticking with keto a bit longer, because @matthewlindow is still on it to lose weight for the military (I’ll post his progress pics soon) but after that I’m going to be doing #modifiedketo where I consume about 25 g of carbs 30 minutes before my workout for a couple of months, and the guage if I’m still losing fat and gaining muscle. . My body is an experiment right now, but worst case scenario I’ll be unhappy with adding in more carbs and will go back to keto . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #gains #muscle #fitness #fitspo #weightloss #fitnessfriday#cardio #obesetobeast #fitfam #fattofit#noexcuses #flexfriday #flex#weightlossjourney #bodyrecomposition#fitnessmotivation #thickfit #girlswholift#goals #legendary #health #diet#countingcalories #weightlossmotivation#foodisfuel

O n e Y e a r : Thankful for the Gospel and it’s power to transform all areas of life. Only God’s grace allows me to look back one year ago (almost to the day) to reflect on how far He’s actually brought me and my family. Lots of “negative” circumstances took place over the course of the last year, but the perspective of the guy on the left is VASTLY different from the guy on the right. I truly believe there are no negative circumstances in this life, only misunderstandings of what’s actually good (dare I say, “best”) for us. Keep pressing on, keep pursuing, keep searching for the only One worth anchoring your hope to. | #wonthedoit #godisgoodallthetime #stewardshipoflife #identity #hope #fattofitjourney #50lbsandcounting #Keto

Came across this old pic yesterday and wanted to compare it to my recently uploaded pic. This was from when I was doing an all fruit / starch vegan diet. I also consumed gluten here and there.. thank God I got tested for food sensitivities or I would be in poor health still. Nothing against the vegan diet, but everyone’s body is different. People have had success with veganism and people who are insulin resistant haven’t. So glad I found Keto thanks to @jason.wittrock ?? – – – – – – – #waronsugar #keto #ketoquest #fitness #transformationtuesday #journey #fatloss #hardwork #progress #shred #workout #fitnesswomen #fitnessmotivation #bodybuilding #weightloss #weightlossjourney

Motivation Monday! No matter where you are starting this journey from, I promise you the destination is worth it. When I first started Keto I was at my wits end. I was sick all the time, I had no energy, my emotions were everywhere, I hated my body, and I felt like I had tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. Keto is more then just for weight loss, it’s for overall health. I’m no longer burdened with a disease I dealt with for years, my energy levels are always high, my emotions have levelled, and now when I look in the mirror I’m proud. I’m not going to sit here and tell you guys that it was easy because it wasn’t. But it was so so so worth it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you guys are struggling to get going and have questions, or just need help staying on track, give me a call! Im a certified Ketogenic Nutrition consultant (with a real diploma and everything ?) and I’d love to meet with you! – – – – #keto #ketoer #ketosis #ketofit #ketodiet #lchf #lchfdiet #ketogenic #ketogains #ketogenicdiet #ketogeniclife #ketoworks #ketofollow #ketogeniclifestyle #ketoaf #fatadapted #kcko #bodybybacon #ketoyyc #ketocanada #ketoweightlossjourney #ketoweightloss #ketoweightlosstransformation #yycfit #yycfitfam

Gosh I remember the feelings I had before I started keto… feelings of fear, feelings of being discouraged or letting myself down again… what if I fail at this like I have with every other thing I’ve tried the past 12 years. Looking back a year ago on Mother’s Day reflecting where I was then to where I am now not just my weight loss but also my mental state at the time. Things were better but I was no where near where I am now. The weight loss and drastically changing my eating habits have all contributed and I’m so thankful I made myself show up everyday. So what if? What if I never gave myself the chance? I preach believing in yourself a lot because you are the only one who can push yourself to make the change. No one else just you. Don’t let the what’s ifs hold you back. Believe in YOU. Show up for YOU. Tip toe if you must but if it’s something you want soooo bad… everyday wake up and TAKE THAT STEP! It’s worth it? Happy #transformationtuesday ?

Oh, what a difference a year makes! Keto has worked WONDERS for my body. Last year I weighed about 13 lb heavier in the photo on the left, and was running or doing cardio every day but eating tons of carbs. Now I still workout every day, but function via a high fat diet. The pic on the right was taken yesterday (I’ve been so MIA because I’ve been at the beach with my friends!).
