Published on August 29, 2019, influencer Amber Fillerup Clark has shared her impressive postpartum weight loss journey with her followers on Instagram.
At nine months pregnant, Amber weighed significantly more than she did six months postpartum, a difference of 50 pounds. She credits the keto diet with her transformation, stating that she and her husband have seen significant results from following the high-fat, low-carb eating plan.
Amber explained that she had a major sweet tooth during her pregnancy and gained 50 pounds with each of her pregnancies. However, after giving birth to her third child, Frankie, on February 18, she switched to the keto diet and noticed a significant change in her body.
"I know it is so cliche to say but geez how crazy are our bodies?! It’s amazing," Amber wrote in the caption of her post. "I wanted to post these progress pictures because where I saw the most changes was when I started doing keto with my hubby. He has done the keto diet on and off for 9ish years."
Amber also addressed questions from followers about her diet while breastfeeding, stating that she is still nursing and drinks only breast milk. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as long as a mother is getting enough calories and nutrients, the keto diet should not be an issue for her milk supply.
Amber is one of many individuals who have transformed their bodies with the keto diet, a high-fat, low-carb eating plan that has gained popularity in recent years.
