Ever wondered what it really takes to lose over 150 pounds and completely transform your life—physically, mentally, and professionally?
Meet Eve Guzman. From struggling to find a single pair of jeans that fit to gracing the pages of People magazine, Eve’s inspiring weight loss transformation is proof that you can rewrite your story—and still enjoy a donut (or three) along the way.
👇 Here’s how she did it—and how you can apply her lessons to your own fitness journey.
From 277 lbs to Fitness Coach: Eve’s “Enough Is Enough” Moment
At 5’1″ and 277 pounds, Eve hit a breaking point in a dressing room that left her in tears. That moment sparked a shift: she started moving more, eating less, and broke the cycle of yo-yo dieting.
Her journey wasn’t linear—it was filled with setbacks, plateaus, and plenty of trial and error. But through persistence, she ultimately lost 158 pounds—naturally, with no gimmicks or surgeries.
“I didn’t want to be the overweight mom who couldn’t keep up with her kids.”

From Lab Manager to the “Mad Macro Scientist”
Eve’s background? Science. She worked as a research lab manager running five labs, including one for genetic toxicology. But once she started sharing her weight loss journey online, something unexpected happened: people started asking her for help.
What began as answering DMs turned into a full-blown coaching business. Eve got certified in nutrition, left her job, and began coaching women worldwide using macro-based nutrition. The nickname “Mad Macro Scientist” stuck—and she wears it proudly.

Why Macros > Restrictive Diets (Yes, You Can Eat Donuts)
Eve tried it all—SlimFast, juicing, South Beach, 800-calorie crash diets. Nothing lasted.
But counting macros? That changed everything.
“I love food. And I knew I needed a sustainable plan. Macros allow me to eat 80% clean and still enjoy my favorite 20%—like donuts and Oreos.”
Now, she eats three donuts a week, lifts heavy, and feels strong—physically and mentally.
Eve’s Top Tips to Stay Confident and Keep Going
Here are Eve’s go-to strategies for staying empowered on your journey:
- Fake the Confidence ‘Til You Make It
- “People don’t know you’re faking. Show up like you believe it, and eventually, you will.”
- Write Down Your Goals—Daily, Weekly, Monthly
- Eve writes down her goals for fitness, business, and personal growth every single week.
- YOLO It with Intention
- Want something? Go for it. “I believed I could lose the weight—so I went for it. Anyone can.”

Eve’s message to moms? Putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s strategic.
