380lb food addict sheds 200lbs on a strict low-carb, high-fat diet, denying himself ANY 'cheat meals' over fears they will fuel his addiction
Nathan Wharton, 36, from Tampa, Florida, went from 380lbs to 185lbs in a little over a year after starting a ketogenic diet in January 2016
The weight-loss winner insisted that he can't allow himself any 'cheat meals' because he has no self-control and is likely to fall back into unhealthy patterns
Nathan's wife Heather has also been following the low-carb, high-fat diet, and together they have shed a combined total of nearly 400lbs
A 380lb food addict has shed more than half of his body weight following a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet for the past 16 months — without allowing himself any 'cheat meals'.
Nathan Wharton, 36, from Tampa, Florida, went from 380lbs to 185lbs in a little over a year after starting his weight loss journey in January 2016.
The weight-loss winner has been tracking his progress on Instagram with a series of before and after photos, and in early May, he celebrated his 16 months of success with a candid post about his journey with food addiction.
'I have abstained from my addiction for 16 months,' he wrote. 'I don't allow myself to have cheat meals because for me 1 cheat meal becomes a cheat day, a cheat week and a cheat year.
'Becoming aware of my addiction and how to abstain from it with keto has been life changing.'
Nathan admitted that there are days that it is difficult for him to not give into the temptations that surround him, but he ultimately resists, explaining: 'Giving in to my cravings would reinforce my unhealthy relationship with food.'
Instead of indulging, and putting himself on a path of self-destruction, Nathan said he tells himself that he is able to resist because he will no longer allow food to control his life.
'It is not willpower that drives me but the lack of willpower,' he explained. 'I have no self-control and moderation does not exist for me.'
Nathan noted that he will have to keep 'boundaries' with his food for the rest of his life, but he insisted that if he could do it, others can too.
