M/25/5’11”/ [250lbs-200lbs = 50 lbs] (~6 months) Never consistently hit the gym before starting this so I was able to build muscle and increase my lifts over the same 6 months I lost the weight. Over the last 8 months I bulked ~15 lbs (see comments for recent pics) but now starting a cut to 190

Introduction

A Reddit user shared their inspiring weight loss journey. Using a combination of diet and exercise, they lost 50 pounds in just 6 months. What's more impressive is that they also built muscle and increased their lifts during this time.

Diet

The user's diet mainly consisted of over 200 grams of protein and 2000-2500 calories per day, depending on the activity level and workout intensity. They incorporated 3000 calorie diet breaks for a week every 4-5 weeks. The user also took Creatine, Whey Protein, and pre-workout supplements.

Training Routine

The user ran a Jeff Nippard Push/Pull/Legs program for 6 days a week and then an Upper/Lower split for 4-5 days a week. They also did minimal cardio, except for some hiking on the weekends.

Recent Progress

The user posted two recent pictures, weighing around 215 pounds. They've since started another cut to reach their goal of 190 pounds. The plan is to reassess their goals once they reach this goal weight. It's important to note that the key to success is consistency and discipline.

Conclusion

If you're looking to lose weight, it's important to remember that it's not just about the number on the scale. It's also about building muscle and increasing your lifts. Find a diet and training routine that works for you, stay consistent, and be patient. You too can achieve your weight loss goals.
