The 26kg weight loss has dramatically changed her appearance and boosted her confidence.

When asked about her methods in the comments, the creator revealed her approach was based on a calorie deficit, high protein, high fibre and strength training. This combination aligns with expert recommendations for sustainable weight loss.

Studies show that weight and resistance training can be effective at increasing resting metabolic rate compared to aerobic exercise alone. Also, the calorie-burning benefits of strength training continue hours after your workout as your body recovers and repairs muscle tissue.
