Year in Review: Health Wins for 2022
At the end of 2022, the Senza health coaching team sent one last poll out to our keto community:
"Who lost 22 lbs or more in 2022?"
We invited all of our keto and fasting app users to share the progress they experienced while following a keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle. Hundreds of people responded within a matter of hours, and the answers astounded us - ranging from an exact date when they reached the 22# milestone to a detailed recap of their journey throughout the year.
Here are some of the highlights we've compiled for a look back at the achievements of 2022. Thanks to all our Senza friends for sharing their inspiring health transformation stories:
"I started using Senza when I started keto in 2019. I lost over 22 pounds in 6 months and have kept the weight off for 3 years! I still do keto and use Senza everyday to keep me accountable and on track."

"I am so happy to report achieving my goal weight. I had doubts it was too ambitious. Senza was so helpful and I used it religiously to make sure I was observing my numbers. After using Senza for over 420 days, I no longer feel the need to fill out everything because by now, I am so used to using my new style of eating, it's just what I do now. I know how to shop, what to make, love the availability of keto products and satisfying substitutes."
- Hillary
And perhaps our most memorable holiday greeting came from David, who writes that three years into his successful keto transformation, he has maintained his goal weight for over a year:
"Unless I am somewhere without internet service, if it goes in my mouth, it goes on my Senza!"
Happy 2023 everyone - be well!
