Mom loses 70 lbs in 7 months eating snacks, not working out

She downed cookies, chips and ice cream — and now she’s down 70 pounds. 

A Maryland mother of one — who tipped the scales at 200 pounds in late 2022 — has shrunk to a svelte 125 pounds by modifying her diet to include tasty, yet calorie- and carb-smart treats from a nationwide grocer. 

And her snack-centric slenderizing has social media salivating. 

“Healthy groceries from Aldi that have helped me lose 70 pounds,” a newly slim Caroline Mabeus wrote in the closed captions of a TikTok tell-all for her 85,000 followers. 

In the clip, the brunette showcased the low-fat goodies she’s gobbled in an effort to cut the fat, including 100-calorie cookie wafers, almond flour cookies, baked potato chips, crème-filled snack bars, fruity ice pops, mint-flavored ice cream sandwiches and a Buffalo chicken calzone. 

Her shopping cart wasn’t filled with just yummy processed bites, however. Mabeus also shared a grocery list of veggies, lean meats and keto-friendly grains she used to fuel her speedy, eye-popping evolution. 

In a series of posts dedicated to her weight-loss journey — including viral clips with over 3.2 million views, featuring before-and-after images of her seven-month transformation — the trimmed belle revealed her winning strategy. 

“Intermittent fasting,” wrote Mabeus in the on-screen text of a video titled, “How I lost 70 pounds,” adding that she maintained a 16-to-8 eating schedule: fasting 16 hours a day, eating within the remaining 8. 

The mom went on to list: “Stayed in a calorie deficit, drank lots of water, ate a high-protein diet, no fried food/ high sugar desserts, made healthy food choices, found delicious healthy meals that have helped me lose weight and keep it off.”

Fans of Mabeus’ fine-tuned frame freaked out over her new look. 

“Ooo girl you did thatttt I’m so proud of youuuu,” fawned a commenter. 

“You’re such an inspiration,” another cheered. 

“Do u work out?,” a supporter asked, to which Mabeus replied, “No!” She insists her metamorphosis can mostly be credited to her timed eating regimen and thoughtful food selections.
