Katrina Beuning, from Missouri in the southern United States, had struggled with her weight since she was a teen.
Eventually reaching 107kg, Katrina had tried a whole host of diets, but nothing seemed to shift those extra kilograms.
But amazingly, the American managed to lose a whopping 30kg in 16 months, after making one change to her diet.
Katrina discovered that it was actually food allergies that were making her put on weight, leaving her body in a constant state of inflammation.
By cutting out the offending food items, Katrina got healthy and fit, and now weighs 69kg.
“I have a lot of health issues that are directly related to food allergies. I was eating things that I didn’t realise were hurting my body and this kept me in a constant state of inflammation and when we are inflamed it causes us to gain weight. I did that for a few years and that lead to a 100lbs [45kg] weight gain,” Katrina explains.
“Before that I was always on a diet, even from a young age I was overweight and started my first diet at 13. I believe I always struggled with my weight because of my food allergies but I didn’t start putting the pieces together until about two years ago and – once I figured it out – I saw massive results.”
Katrina now keeps a blog and an Instagram page, that she hopes will inspire others to get healthy like she has. On it she shares details of healthy snacks and meals, her workout routines and more.
