391. MADELEINE'S STORY: Losing 20 Pounds After Realizing Keto Didn’t Fit Her Life

May 21, 2026

If what you used to do to lose weight worked in the past but no longer fits your schedule or lifestyle, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Madeleine from the Hot & Healthy Membership to talk about how she transitioned away from very low-carb dieting and keto toward a more balanced, sustainable approach to fat loss that actually fit her real life.

Like many women, Madeleine believed being more restriction would lead to better results. But over time, trying to maintain keto while working intense hours as a pharmacist in her residency program became unrealistic and exhausting. Keto worked for her — until it didn’t. She wanted a way to lose fat, feel confident in her body, and still enjoy eating out and spending time with friends without constantly feeling restricted.

In this episode, Madeleine shares how she slowly reintroduced carbs despite being afraid to at first, how she shifted her focus from just losing weight on the scale to body recomposition, and the habits that helped her become leaner, stronger, and more confident than ever before.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can lose fat without cutting out entire food groups and carbs, this episode will show you exactly what’s possible and how to do it, too.
