Introduction
Losing weight is challenging but achievable. It takes determination and commitment to an improved lifestyle. A Reddit user, PurpleAndYellow, shared his successful weight loss journey that may inspire others to follow and achieve their goals.
The Approach
PurpleAndYellow achieved his weight loss through healthier eating habits and exercise. He cut down on fast food, reduced bread intake, and avoided snacking by replacing them with apples or bananas. He also skipped drinking soda or alcohol and switched to black coffee, tea, or water. Going to the gym three times a week, he did a combination of starting strength 5x5 and other exercises focusing on a specific muscle group. He alternated between cardio and weights with different forms of cardio ranging from cycling to swimming, and sometimes leg training during weight lifting. PurpleAndYellow also took in about 1750 kcal per day and more calories the day before he worked out.
The Outcome
PurpleAndYellow lost 24 pounds in two months, averaging 2.67 pounds per week. He is now at a healthy BMI of 23. The big difference he noticed was how much better and energetic he now feels along with an overall positive attitude. He saw the transition in his approach to food and exercise not as a short-term exercise but a long-term lifestyle commitment.
Things to Consider
It is important to take into account that what worked for PurpleAndYellow may not work for everyone. However, getting inspiration to start, taking action in the direction of a healthier lifestyle, and seeking advice and support from reliable sources can help anyone achieve success. What is important is to find out what approach works best for you and stick with it through time and effort.
Conclusion
PurpleAndYellow’s weight loss journey provides an insight into how it is possible to lose weight through healthier eating habits and exercise. It is not only the weight loss that is important but his positive approach to the lifestyle ultimately leading to a better and healthier life. Try out different approaches, experiment with different exercise and food options, and find what works best for you. As a result, the same success that PurpleAndYellow has achieved may be attainable for anyone who is willing to try.
