An Inspiring Reddit Transformation
A reddit user with the username Varteix lost a remarkable 112 pounds in 13 months. His photos documented his incredible weight loss journey, capturing the difficulties and challenges that come with it.
Strict Calorie Restriction
The secret to Varteix's success was strict calorie restriction. For the first couple of months, he spent 40 minutes a day on a stationary bike doing cardio. Later, he dropped cardio and started a weight training plan that he followed for five days a week.
Loseit.com, his go-to app
To track his food intake, Varteix used Loseit.com, though he also mentioned Myfitnesspal.com could work best for others. In his case, Loseit.com aided him in understanding how much food he could eat without counting calories.
More Than Physical Benefits
Without a doubt, the physical benefits of losing weight made a huge difference in Varteix's life, but the aspect of increased happiness may have made the most significant change. He emphasized how much more enjoyable life was without having to worry about what he can or cannot do because of his size.
Encouragement for Those on a Similar Path
Varteix's story is nothing short of extraordinary. His transformation is not only an inspiration for those who are struggling with weight loss, but it is also a testament to the belief that with self-discipline, perseverance, and patience, anyone can achieve something similar. No matter what path one chooses, patience is essential as lifestyle changes require both physical and emotional time and energy.
