Achieving weight loss is an overwhelming and daunting task. However, one Reddit user, sdevine89, documented how he lost 39 lbs within 2.5 months, providing insights into his dietary and exercise regime.

Macro Diet for Weight Loss

Sdevine89 emphasized that an essential factor in his weight loss journey is the Macro diet. He explained following the 'If It Fits Your Macros Plan’ which involves calculating grams of carbs, fat, and protein he could consume per day. In doing so, his diet had a low carb element and was adjusted to maintain a caloric deficit of 2,000 calories per day.

Workouts and Exercise Routine

Aside from following a strict diet, Sdevine89 increased his physical activity by hitting at least 12,500 steps every day, primarily through brisk walking, and played tennis twice a week. The combination of cardio and tennis helped burn calories and strengthen muscles, contributing significantly to his overall weight loss.

Sdevine89 noticed a notable change in his face after losing weight, which he aimed to do by starting his weight loss journey. He also mentioned his clothes fitting better and feeling more energetic. Furthermore, he added that he had a better relationship with food, knowing that he has learned to make healthier choices.

Takeaway

Sdevine89's journey towards weight loss shows that it is possible to achieve such a feat, primarily through a proper dietary and exercise regime. While his routine may not work for everyone, it may serve as an inspiration for people who want to make healthier choices and put in the effort to transform their lifestyle. Remember, taking control of your health is within your power.
