With a long commute to work each day, Ashleigh Connell, 24, was in the habit of eating unhealthy snacks to tide her over until dinner.
WARNING: Two sugary drinks a day can increase risk of early death by 31%
“I would always get a packet of chips for the train trip. Then, if I got home late or my partner was away, I would order Thai and pick it up on the way home.” Coupled with being an emotional eater, Ashleigh found herself feeling sluggish and bloated. She signed up to take the Keto-Fit challenge when her work wife was doing it, and got her boyfriend on board for extra support.
THE CHALLENGE
Keto is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that tricks the body into a fat-burning process called ketosis. Over eight weeks, Ashleigh combined the keto meal plan with regular workouts and Keto-Fit products that are specifically designed for keto dieters and act as a helping hand. At the start, Ashleigh found switching to meal prepping every week a huge change.
“I used to forget to eat regularly, which meant I would either overeat or pick up an unhealthy snack when I got hungry. For the new routine I set myself little reminders throughout the day to eat the snacks and meals at regular intervals.” She was also a big fan of the Keto-Fit Coffee: “It was the perfect way to start the day, and had me feeling fuller and more energised than a standard coffee. It was my secret weapon during this challenge.”

THE RESULTS
Ashleigh found scheduling the workouts in her diary ensured she stuck to them and she felt excited once she started to see her body change. “Within the first few weeks I had more energy, I was sleeping better and was waking up raring to go.
My skin was probably the biggest change. It really cleared up and was glowing.” Feeling her clothes fit better spurred Ashleigh on to stick with the plan, and the change to eating more healthy fats and protein has taught her to be more mindful about what she is putting into her body. “Though now that I’ve finished the challenge, a bowl of pasta is definitely going back on the menu as a treat!”
