From Keto to Food Freedom: How Katrin Lost 33 Pounds and Healed Her Relationship with Food
What if eating carbs again was the secret to losing weight—and feeling truly free?
In this powerful client interview, Max Lowery sits down with Katrin, a 37-year-old mom of two and yoga studio owner from Germany, who lost 33 pounds, 9.5 inches from her waist, and completely transformed her confidence and mindset, without cutting out carbs or sugar.
For years, Katrin tried everything: keto, low-carb, calorie counting, you name it. Each diet worked for a while, but the weight always came back. After years of yo-yo dieting, thyroid issues, and back pain, she was exhausted and scared to eat “normal” food again. Then she joined Max’s Lift 360 program and everything changed.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this emotional and inspiring conversation:
Breaking Free from Keto & Fear of Food
Katrin shares how she spent 8 months on keto, terrified of eating fruit or carbs. When her coach asked her to reintroduce them, she cried—but took the leap anyway. Within a week, she was losing weight again and feeling better than ever. Her takeaway? “You have to eat to lose weight.”
Healing Body and Mind
How Katrin went from constant back pain to feeling strong, flexible, and pain-free.
Why fueling her body properly actually helped her thyroid and energy levels recover.
How she broke the cycle of using food to cope with stress, and started using it to nourish herself instead.
Becoming a Role Model for Her Daughters
One of the most touching parts of Katrin’s story is how her transformation changed her family life. After losing 20 pounds, she could finally lift and play with her daughters again. When her eldest said, “Mom, I’m so proud of you. You’re getting stronger every day,” it became the moment Katrin knew she was changing not just her body—but her legacy.
Confidence, Career, and Food Freedom
Today, Katrin eats all foods without guilt, enjoys pizza when she wants, and has more energy for her business and family. She’s even studying to become a nutritionist, something she never believed she could do before.
“Before, half my brain was consumed by food and guilt. Now that energy goes to my family, my clients, and my goals.”
Katrin’s story is proof that long-term success doesn’t come from another diet, it comes from support, accountability, and learning how to trust yourself again.
Listen now and see why Katrine says, “It’s not about the number on the scale, it’s about getting your life back.
