Registered Dietitian & Keto ExpertHi, I’m Marwa Elsayed! your online weight loss registered dietitian nutritionist and keto expert. I help women lose weight and stop being hangry with a healthy ketogenic diet. The diet that works when nothing else will! I’ve lost 50 POUNDS; all my pregnancy weight and now I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight and I feel great!
My Story
During my pregnancy, I was gaining a lot of weight, stress, and discouragement! Few months after giving birth to my first baby, my weight increased rapidly. I was over 190 pounds. I felt tired, weak, and a little defeated. I didn’t feel like that confident young woman I used to be when I saw myself in the mirror. I felt as if I was trapped in a stranger’s body and I knew I had to get myself out of it. My patients thought I was pregnant with a triplet and they kept asking me about it all the time!
There were some obvious things that come along as being a new mother. I wanted to be healthy for my family and wanted to be part of every activity. I felt very uncomfortable in my own skin and wanted to do something about it. All of my insecurities, motivated me to obtain a healthy lifestyle and to make a life change. I started following the keto diet plan with my husband. He strictly followed the diet plan 5 years ago and did a great job at maintaining the weight he lost with a balanced diet. During my pregnancy, I ate pretty much what I felt like while trying to make healthy choices. However, I have a sweet tooth and because of it, I gained almost 50 pounds during my pregnancy!! The biggest change for me with keto is feeling so good being off carbs and added sugar and noticed the incredible baby fat loss. I feel strong and healthy. I really appreciate my husband who been very supportive and kept me motivated during my postpartum journey. And yes, I’m still nursing my baby!
My Values & Low-Carb Beliefs
Low-Carb Diets Reduce Your Appetite
Hunger tends to be the worst side effect of dieting. It is one of the main reasons why many people feel miserable and eventually give up.
However, low-carb eating leads to an automatic reduction in appetite.
Studies consistently show that when people cut carbs and eat more protein and fat, they end up eating far fewer calories.
Low-Carb Diets Lead to More Weight Loss
Cutting carbs is one of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight. Studies illustrate that people on low-carb diets lose more weight, faster, than those on low-fat diets — even when the latter are actively restricting calories.
This is because low-carb diets act to rid excess water from your body, lowering insulin levels and leading to rapid weight loss in the first week or two
Ketogenic Diets Can Help You Lose Weight
A ketogenic diet is an effective way to lose weight and lower risk factors for disease.
In fact, research shows that the ketogenic diet is far superior to the often recommended low-fat diet.
Ketogenic Diets for Diabetes and Prediabetes
Diabetes is characterized by changes in metabolism, high blood sugar, and impaired insulin function.
The ketogenic diet can help you lose excess fat, which is closely linked to type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
My Philosophy
At FitFoodiz I believe in:
-
A well-formulated low-carb way of eating, meaning: eating lots of healthy fats, wholesome foods, a large number of vegetables, and limiting your intake of carbohydrates.
-
The transformative power of meditation, gratitude, affirmations, the law of attraction, and positive beliefs.
-
The fact that taking small actions leads to bigger things.
-
Building a consistent morning routine to reach your highest potential.
-
The fact that happiness depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
-
Building communities to support each other in a low-carb journey to thrive in all areas of life.
