Jason Aberly shared his remarkable weight loss story with MensHealth.com this week. The 38-year-old recently shed almost 100 pounds, and he counts the keto diet and cardio as the keys to his success.

Though Aberly used to be extremely active, “I gained the weight just basically from living my life,” the former EMT told the site. It was only when, at 270 pounds, he couldn't physically pick up one of his sons that he decided he needed to make a change.

That change involved a few minutes of running each day, which quickly gave way to an interest keto. He and his wife Amanda started eating differently together. Per MensHealth.com:

Aberly began by eating traditional keto meals, including eggs with avocado for breakfast and bunless burgers for dinner. He then slowly introduced more vegetables to his life, which are still his only source of carbohydrates today. From there, Aberly accidentally stumbled upon intermittent fasting. One day, he forgot to eat breakfast and decided to give the 16-8 day a try, where you restrict your eating to an eight-hour daily window.

Both Aberly and Amanda have seen major differences; he weighs 179 pounds and she's down about 50 from when they first started.
