Kenzie Forbes

Fitness Blogger

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.

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.
