Kevin Belton Weight Loss Journey (Workout & Diet Revealed)

The Kevin Belton weight loss journey started when he discovered he had rising blood pressure and prediabetes.

Prediabetes is a serious health condition defined by high blood glucose levels but not high enough to qualify as type 2 diabetes [1].

You'll feel better and be healthier if you lose weight.

Studies have shown that weight loss can actually delay or decrease the risk of T2D [2].

So to remain active and healthy, Kevin and his wife, Monica Belton, decided to go on a weight loss journey and drastically change their lifestyle.

Kevin and Monica adopted a low-carb eating approach linked to various health benefits, including improved blood glucose control and reduced blood pressure levels to lose weight.

Reducing their carbohydrate intake and focusing on wholesome, nutrient-rich foods could support their weight loss goals while positively impacting Kevin's blood pressure.

They prove the power of lifestyle modification through their commitment to a healthier lifestyle.

Kevin Belton’s diet plan is a low-carb regime.

This type of diet consists of eating predominantly vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, with very few or no processed carbohydrates.

Kevin Belton claimed that he is not a strict diet person, so he didn’t cut carbs once and for all.

Instead, he ate low-carb and used small food portions.

A low-carb diet has a wide range of benefits, including:

• Weight loss
• Better sleep
• Mental clarity [3,4]

A low-carb diet is quite helpful for people with T2D as it improves blood sugar and insulin levels, reduces medication necessity, and decreases diabetic complications risk [5].

“It has taken me over two years, but I’ve lost 130 lbs. I exercise every day with my wife & puppy, Cookie Monster. I eat low carb (not no carb because that’s just not for me) & a lot smaller portions. It’s taken a long time & been hard but worth it.”

However, as a personal trainer, I’ve noticed that my clients who follow a low-carb diet to burn fat all experience different results.

Generally, men lose more weight than women, and younger individuals seem to find it less challenging to reach their dream weight compared to older gym-goers on a low-carb diet.

Besides age and gender, another factor that can affect your weight loss results is the intensity of physical exercise.

Kevin Belton’s workout routine consists of exercising almost every day with his wife. Instead of opting for an aggressive workout schedule, he chose to do aerobic exercises for 30 minutes daily, either at home or at the gym.

He says that he likes to keep it light and challenging but not too difficult so as time goes on, his body can build up a tolerance that will make him stronger.

Kevin Belton asserted that being in quarantine allowed him to spend more time with his two children, Kevin Belton Jr and Jonathan Belton.

He also claimed that he was able to improve his physical health by spending a lot of time at home working out.

It is essential to combine a diet with exercise. In fact, I always recommend that my clients exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet to burn off excess calories, improve mood, and increase energy levels.
