From an underweight teenager to fitness icon on the rise, Kenzie Forbes has gone a long way since starting her fitness journey in 2016.
Weighing 90lbs (40kg) at the time, Kenzie fought an eating disorder and had all the odds against her. She said; “At this point, I was settling for ‘I can’t gain weight, it’s impossible!’ I used this excuse for so long…”
Kenzie spent months believing these false stories of her mind. Until one day, when she looked at herself in the mirror and realized a drastic change was needed. Taking the bull by the horns, she took on strength training along with eating more calories.
“I changed my situation by taking action. I started researching, training hard, and eating a lot more!”
Needless to say, this transition didn’t happen overnight. It took sweat, sacrifice, and tears for Kenzie to transform her underfed body into an amazing figure. She’s now an inspiration for an army of fans on social media, and other young women who fight issues that once plagued her.
“I am now about 130-135lbs and have never been so confident and so happy!”

As Kenzie says; “Don’t be afraid to lift heavy and eat. Never allow your fear of gaining weight control your life.”
To go from anorexic to healthy and fit, Kenzie had to make some drastic changes in her diet. The most important one was increasing the number of calories she ate.
At first, it was hard for Kenzie as she wasn’t used to eating a lot of foods. But little by little, her diet improved and so did her body. No longer was Kenzie afraid of eating calorie-dense foods.
She now enjoys everything from eggs, organic meat, vegetables, to occasional pizzas and sweet treats to keep her metabolism ticking over steadily.
Although she had the support of those that were close to her, Kenzi Forbes mainly relied on her own mental strength to overcome adversities.
Fighting her daily constant battles, she faced many dark thoughts and various setbacks. But, never allowed those to get the better of her. Instead, she took everything one step at the time. Over the months, this compounded to visible, tangible results – a healthier body and an improved outlook on life.
