Introduction
Losing weight can be a difficult and daunting task, but for one Reddit user, the journey was worth it. Over three years, she went from 300 to 204 pounds, losing 96 pounds in total. The process was not easy, but she focused on putting fewer calories into her body than she burned through exercise.
Quitting Smoking and Fast Food
One of the biggest changes the Reddit user made was quitting smoking and eating fast food cold turkey. These habits may have contributed to her starting weight of 300 pounds. By removing these unhealthy habits from her life, she was on her way to better health and weight loss.
Calories In, Calories Out
To lose weight, the Reddit user focused on calorie control, a basic principle of weight loss. She consumed fewer calories than she burned through exercise. This approach, known as the "calories in, calories out" method, is a tried and true way to lose weight. However, it does require discipline and commitment.
Exercise
In addition to calorie control, the Reddit user exercised regularly, lifting weights five times a week and doing cardio at least four times a week. This combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise helped her burn calories and build muscle, which can boost metabolism and aid in weight loss.
Conclusion
Losing weight and getting in shape takes time, patience, and a lot of hard work. The Reddit user's journey shows that with commitment and the right approach, it is possible to achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health. If you are struggling with weight loss, consider making changes to your diet and exercise routine, and stick with it. You may just surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.
