Lad, 22, shares jaw-dropping snap of his youthful mum – who often gets mistaken for his girlfriend
A 22-YEAR-OLD man has left social media followers shocked and confused after posting a series of photographs of his age-defying mum.
Jonathan Nguyen from Los Angeles posted the images on Facebook, explaining his mum's diet and exercise regime are the secrets behind her youthful looks.
"Having a young Asian mum is great until you see someone your age shooting their shot at her," he wrote.
And followers were utterly stunned, with several explaining they thought the woman in the photograph was his sister - or even girlfriend.
One commented: "Woah. She's beautiful. Thought she was your girlfriend.
"I said to myself 'what a beautiful couple'."
Another agreed, begging to know her secrets.
"Your mum looks like your sister, what's her secret?" They wrote, while others referred to the mum as "goals".
The post has since racked up over 14,000 likes and nearly 8,000 comments, with Jonathan revealing "lots of fruit and working out every day" also contributed to his mum's good looks, as well as a low carb, high fat (Keto) diet.
"She works out everyday, and won't eat any processed foods for the most part. (Keto diet)," he said.
What is the Keto diet?
- The Keto diet involves eating lots of "good" fats, while cutting carbs and eating moderate amounts of protein.
- It's said to boost energy levels and help speed up weight loss.
- The diet relies on a normal metabolic process called ketosis - that helps the body keep working.
- It's where the body, starved of carbs for energy, starts to burn fat reserves instead.
- Fats should make up about 60 to 80 per cent of total daily calories, while protein makes up 10 to 15 per cent and carbs are less than 10 per cent.
But despite sharing the images, Jonathan refused to reveal her age, explaining "it's a secret".
However, he told that she is "in her 40s".
"To cut to the chase my mum is in her 40s," he revealed
";Her secret to not ageing is dieting and exercising.
"She also has a skin care routine that I'm not to aware of."
