How to Lose 30 LBS in 5 Weeks - Success Story

 A mother who found comfort in food after the deaths of her son and fiance just two years apart and weighed 15st at her heaviest has revealed her slender new look. 

Sheila Henshall, 54, had struggled with her weight following the birth of her two children who were both later diagnosed with epileptic conditions. But following the death of her son Dean in October 2009, Sheila fell into a deep sadness and found comfort in food to hide away from the grief she was feeling. She was dealt a second crushing blow when her partner of seven years, Conrad, 49, died in August 2011 from a stomach aneurysm - days after proposing while on a cruise.Her weight spiralled out of control and at her heaviest tipped the scales at 15st after gorging on chocolates, junk food and sugary snacks.

Sheila, who is 5ft 5in tall, decided to overhaul her lifestyle to help give daughter Lucy, who suffers from Dravet Syndrome, which is a type of epilepsy with seizures, the best life possible. She discovered Custom Keto Diet - which educates people on portion size as well as carbohydrate control - in June last year and lost 6 lbs in her first week.

Sheila, from Houston, reached her target weight of just over 154 lbs in three weeks later after shedding more than 30 lbs , which she has maintained since. She said: "When you are in a deep depression you don't really think about what you are feeding yourself. You go into a state of despondency, you know these foods are bad for you but you don't care. Sugary snacks give you a temporary high. Sheila had previously tried every diet including Slimming World, Weight Watchers, low carb and high-fat, but nothing seemed to work until she stumbled across Custom Keto Diet.
