A Reddit User's 163 Pound off and on Keto Weight Loss Journey

Introduction

A Reddit user who goes by the username Warrior70 shared and documented his 163-pound weight loss journey through a post. His journey spanned 17 months and included the keto diet, controlling portions, and exercising.

Keto Dieting

Warrior70 seriously started dieting in October 2014 with the keto diet. The keto diet strictly limits carbohydrates to less than 20g per day to force the body into ketosis — a natural metabolic process where the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. While on keto, the user's meals were mostly grilled chicken, grilled meats, and broccoli on a salad. He limited himself to two meals a day and a couple of snacks that included almonds and cheese.

Controlling Portions

In January 2015, Warrior70 started controlling portions and slowly losing weight until September the same year. He lost weight down to 368 lbs slowly. Afterwards, he went back to the keto diet to make his weight loss journey faster.

Exercise

In addition to dieting, Warrior70 added exercise to his weight-loss routine. He spent the past few months running two miles after work, walking 10-25k steps per day at work, and doing a simple dumbbell routine three times a week.

Conclusion

Warrior70's story is a testimonial to the effectiveness of the keto diet in losing weight. But his story also shows that losing weight requires discipline and commitment. Following his example, one can lose weight by controlling food portions, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. Congratulations to Warrior70, and let his story be an inspiration for all who seek to lose weight.
