  • Ryan Culberson and his wife Briana (daughter of RHOC's Vicki Gunvalson) are still going strong on the keto diet.

  • Briana, 31, was diagnosed with lupus in 2016, and says she's recently gotten her symptoms under control.

  • Briana lost 45 pounds on the keto diet.

Briana Culberson, daughter of The Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson, is killing it when it comes to following the keto diet-and her husband Ryan has the pictures to prove it.

She posted on her husband Ryan's account, saying, "I’ve lost 45 lbs on keto so far but most importantly my health has greatly improved!"

Briana also wrote: "The face on the left is of an average American diet, never felt good, having constant lupus flares, and on and off steroids for almost a year." (FYI: She was diagnosed with lupus in 2016, according to People, and almost had her leg amputated in April 2018 because of lupus complications.)

The face on the left is of an average American diet, never felt good, having constant lupus flares, and on and off steroids for almost a year. The face on the right is strict Keto, steroid free, and lupus flare free! I’ve lost 45 lbs on keto so far but most importantly my health has greatly improved!

Then there's the photo on the right (the one of Briana now): "The face on the right is strict keto, steroid free, and lupus flare free," she wrote.

To be clear, the Lupus Foundation of America doesn't suggest any specific diets for to hep control lupus symptoms. Instead, it suggests those with lupus "eat a nutritious, well-balanced, and varied diet that contains plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and moderate amounts of meats, poultry, and fish." (But hey, it's great to see that Briana is doing well!)

The Culbersons have been on the keto diet for about eight months now. Ryan first posted about the keto diet back in November. He shared a photo of Briana with the caption: "So proud of Briana my keto queen. It has been such a [sic] easy transition for us over the last 5 months." He also used the hashtags #ketolifestyle and #hotmama (Briana and Ryan have two kids, BTW).

In that post, Ryan also revealed that he and Briana use KetoLogic, a company that sells keto-friendly meal replacement shakes and supplements, to help them maintain their keto diet.

Ryan has also posted photos and recipes, like how to make your own venison jerky.
