‘I Ate A Modified Low-Carb Diet To Lose 110 Pounds After Being Diagnosed With A Heart Condition’ “Playing workout games on the WayBetter app finally got me into HIIT.” By Susana Rodriguez, as told to Emily Shiffer Jan 19, 2021 Courtesy My name is Susana Rodriguez (@myhealth.iswealth), and I’m 29 years old. I live in Los Angeles and I'm a full-time mom. After being diagnosed with heart issues, I decided to start eating a flexible low-carb diet, practicing portion control with the Lose It! app, and walking for weight loss to lose 110 pounds. Before I started my weight-loss journey, I struggled a lot with having the energy to do simple things. Putting on my shoes or playing with my daughters took so much effort. I also struggled with self confidence. Being overweight made me so insecure. Though being overweight didn’t stop me from having happy moments in my life, I was unhappy with myself. At my heaviest I weighed 273 pounds.
