Introduction

A man on Reddit, with the username Ashenn, has shared his transformative weight loss journey, lost 93lbs (258lbs to 165lbs) in nine months through a combination of a ketogenic (Keto) diet and exercise. He expressed his desire to be fit and healthy and shed the extra pounds he gained after breaking his shoulder and partying during his college years.

The Journey

Ashenn started his weight loss journey with Keto, a low-carb, high-fat diet that helps to put the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. He initially lost some weight by following this diet change. Ashenn's exercise routine began with walking every day for an hour and then added swimming, followed by running. He then eventually began lifting weights and after many months of hard work, has gained strength and defined his muscles.

Achievements and Future Goals

Ashenn has achieved his first goal by losing 93lbs, and now he is looking to find his maintenance point by lifting weights over the next few months. He hopes to become stronger and would like to move to lazy keto from the strict keto diet that he currently follows, to enjoy a few more things in life. He plans to watch what he eats closely, as he never wants to go back to where he started.

Top Weight Loss Tips

Ashenn shares his tips for success and advice for fellow weight-loss aspirants. His top three tips are finding things you enjoy and are passionate about, eating things that you love, and enjoying the changes, big or small. He advises being proud of yourself and not losing hope, as the journey can be challenging, but the rewards are worth it.

Final Thoughts

Ashenn's journey shows that discipline, hard work, and consistency can lead to transformative changes. Even a small change can make a big impact on your overall health and wellness. Anyone interested in weight loss should try different things until they find something they enjoy and are passionate about. It is essential to remember that every person's journey is unique, and there is no shortcut to success. Patience, perseverance, and consistency are critical to achieving one's weight loss goals.
