Briana Culberson is a “Keto Queen.”

After going through a number of health battles, including a thyroid issue and a Lupus diagnosis, Vicki Gunvalson‘s daughter, who quit The Real Housewives of Orange County after season 12, has lost a whopping 40 pounds in five short months and is showing off the results of her Keto diet on Instagram.

“So proud of Briana my keto queen! It has been such a easy transition for us over the last 5 months,” Briana’s husband, Ryan Culberson, wrote in the caption of an Instagram photo earlier this month.

And in a photo shared on November 11, Briana’s incredible weight loss can be seen!





Additionally, Briana’s weight loss has done wonders for her health, which Ryan confirmed in the comments section of his photo. He even said that Briana’s Lupus hadn’t flared up for five months.

“Night and day! We plan on continuing it for life because of how well she feels,” he explained.

As for their new diet, which Ryan is also following, he said he and Briana haven’t yet paired it with exercise.

“Haven’t lifted a weight or anything,” he responded to a curious Instagram follower. “We figured trying to eat better was more important than throwing in multiple things and then getting frustrated and giving up.”

Continuing on to his fans and followers, Ryan shared encouraging posts about the way people should get started with the Keto diet, in which one’s body uses fat for energy.

“Don’t think of it as a diet and more of a lifestyle change and you’ll be a lot more successful!” he advised.

“All you need to do is lower your carbs and sugar intake and you’ll see a big difference,” he continued according to the AllAboutTRH blog.

Briana and Ryan quit appearing on The Real Housewives of Orange County after season 12 and moved to a home in North Carolina, where they’re enjoying the simpler things in life.

“My husband and children are the most important. I’ve never been happy in Orange County and have always wanted to live elsewhere,” Briana explained on Instagram last November. “Ryan and I made this decision together but I was the one who actually pushed it a little more. I need a simple life for my health. I got an amazing job, we found an amazing house. It’s all good!!!”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.
