Over the past six months, American blogger and writer Ree Drummond has lost 43 pounds, or about 20 kilograms, but she hasn't used the keto diet, or intermittent fasting, or any kind of weight loss program or diet foods, so what did you follow?!

The answer is in this report, with tips for vegetables that contain a low level of sugars, and help in weight loss.

In a post on her website, Drummond presented her method for losing weight, as reported by Eat This, Not That.

The system that Drummond followed to lose 20 kilograms can be summarized in calculating calories, and these are its details:

Cut calories

Drummond said she relied on the calorie approach and tried to achieve a calorie deficit most days, which means she burns more calories (through exercise and basic daily activity) than she eats.

In order for a person to lose one kilogram of fat, he must burn about 7,700 calories.

food weight

To accurately calculate her daily calorie intake, Drummond used a digital food weight scale to ensure she was consuming the correct amounts of food.

the movement

Drummond walked 2 to 3 miles (3.2 to 4.8 km) or rowed or played Pilates, and exercised 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day.

Muscle Building

After her weight stopped dropping, Drummond began incorporating weight-bearing exercises into her routine, to stimulate weight loss and burn more calories.

Eat more protein

While Drummond says she hasn't adhered to any particular diet plan to lose weight, she admits that increasing her protein intake was essential in terms of weight loss.

Healthy protein options include skinless chicken, fish, and legumes such as lentils, beans, and chickpeas.

reduce sugar

As a way to cut calories, Drummond dramatically reduced her sugar intake, opting instead for more filling foods.

However, she says she still eats candy, but in smaller portions.

Weight recording

To stay on track with losing weight, Drummond has adopted an app that helps track and record the weight you've lost.

The journey continues

Rather than declaring her weight-loss journey over after shedding a significant amount of weight, Drummond says she views her transformation as an ongoing lifestyle change that keeps her healthy.

To control calories, it is important to eat vegetables, which help to feel full.

The specialist points out that there is a very simple rule for this, as vegetables that grow above the surface generally contain very little carbohydrates and can be eaten in large quantities.

On the contrary, those that grow underground have a higher percentage and should be included in your diet in moderation.
