Introduction
Losing weight, especially when you are obese, takes an immense amount of dedication and determination, often requiring lifestyle changes, patience, and commitment. One Reddit user, M/24/5'11" used a combination of strict calorie counting and lazy keto to shed 82lbs in 2 years, taking his weight from 270 to 188lbs.
The Process

However, he recognized that setbacks are a part of the weight loss journey and that getting back to his routine was essential.
The Benefits
Aside from the obvious physical benefits of losing weight, the user outlined numerous additional benefits such as enhanced mental sharpness, better sleep quality, and reduction in anxiety and depression.
Conclusion
M/24/5'11" lost 82lbs over the course of 2 years, taking his weight from 270 to 188lbs through a mixture of strict calorie counting and lazy keto. His journey highlights the importance of patience, determination, recognizing setbacks, and adopting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. While his methods may not work for everyone, his journey serves as inspiration for others to try things out for themselves, experiment with different approaches, and not give up on their weight loss goals.
