Starting the journey
Matt, a 26-year-old man, had struggled with obesity for quite some time. At his heaviest, he weighed 335lbs, which is considered severely obese. He had tried various diets and exercise routines before, but nothing seemed to work.
Diet changes
Matt decided to focus on his daily calorie intake, and he started to eat less. He also cut back on carbs to help control his appetite. He did not follow any specific diet plan, but he made sure to eat less than he did before. He aimed for a calorie deficit of 1,000 calories per day, which is a safe and sustainable amount.
Exercise routine
Before winter, Matt started walking 5-6 days a week, averaging 3-6 miles each day. Walking is a low-impact activity that is perfect for people just starting with exercise. It can burn a decent amount of calories and help you get more active. As Matt lost weight, he gradually increased his level of activity and started lifting weights as well.
Results and benefits
After only 9 months, Matt had lost an incredible 135lbs, bringing his weight down to 200lbs. Not only did he improve his physical health, but he also noticed a difference in his posture, energy levels, and confidence. He received an outpouring of support from the Reddit community, which he found to be very motivating.
Takeaways
Matt's weight loss journey shows that it is possible to lose a significant amount of weight through simple yet sustainable changes in diet and exercise. You do not need to follow a strict diet or exercise routine to see results. Small steps can lead to big changes over time. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any major lifestyle changes. Good luck!
