How much can a picture (or two) really tell you? Why we can’t resist a transformation Many - even companies trying to sell weight loss in the wellness industry - are pushing back against before-and-after images as potentially harmful, saying that they create unrealistic expectations and gloss over harsh realities. We still don’t know whether before-and-after images are helpful or actually harmful, or even which ones you can believe. But it’s also just the latest iteration of the age-old allure of the transformational photo. Sure, Jameson’s ascendancy as “keto queen” represents an intersection of the most popular diet on the planet with the most popular dieting motivation - a “holy shit, how did she do that?” before-and-after image. Kitchen Transformation Shoutout To via post shared by Kitchens of Instagram on at 5:18am PST (The more niche #KitchenReno hashtag yields more than 128,000 posts.) A search of the #BeforeAndAfter hashtag on Instagram spits back more than 12 million results, ranging from weight loss to hair color changes.
Even non-human “improvements,” like recovered formerly sickly rescue dogs and Mandy Moore’s breathlessly documented kitchen renovation, are ravenously consumed. Humans can’t resist a transformation story, and social media has provided a perfect home for regular people to document their own weight loss and other kinds of shape-shifting, including the recent “ 10-Year Challenge” and plastic surgery changes. But it’s the truly eye-popping transformational photos that are getting Jameson press coverage and ultimately growing her following.
On Instagram, where her followers number over 400,000, she’s documented it all, complete with Trader Joe’s food recommendations and keto-friendly recipes for “savage cabbage.” In the beginning of December, she even started a separate Instagram page dedicated to the keto diet, which now has more than 47,000 followers and features primarily recipes, motivational memes, and regrammed keto information. She’s lost more than 80 pounds since giving birth to her now-toddler daughter Batel. Jameson, 44, has transformed herself into the face - and body - of the controversial keto diet. Adjust your portions if in weight loss mode! FYI I fast from 6pm-11am every night (I tru to) #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #intermittentfasting #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #keto #postpartumweightloss #ketotransformation #ketomenu #whatieatinadayĪ post shared by Jenna Jameson on at 3:53pm PST Then I go to bed! Hope this helps you guys! Remember also I am in maintenance mode now so I have upped my calories. During my fast I allow myself “nana” which is a Moroccan mint tea. For my last meal before my fast I am loving my “Beastie Bolognese” (see my highlights) I eat it like chili!!!! Then my intermittent fasting begins around 6 pm. I then put my daughter to nap and work on my poshmark (link in bio) When she wakes up I immediately put rice or pasta to boil for her and lately I have been loving making a tender white fish baked in the oven in butter with garlic (see my salmon recipe in my highlights) I pair that with a arugula salad with olive oil and a touch of vinegar or my savage cabbage (recipe in my highlights). My favorite go to when I am breaking my nightly fast is my Bomblette (recipe in my highlights) with a huge ice water.
