M/23/5'9 Looking Fit for Vacation: 23Lbs Weight Loss in 3 Months

Introduction

Reddit user pussygetter69 surprised himself and others by achieving his weight goal in 3 months. To inspire others, he shared his journey on the site, including what he ate and his workout regimen. We’ve distilled his advice for others who want to achieve similar results in the same time frame.

Diet

Going by the recommended daily intake, pussygetter69 cut his daily calories down to the 1800-2000 range. Key to his successful fat loss strategy was making sure to exceed his daily protein goal of at least 160g which was roughly a gram of protein per pound of body fat. He also experimented with intermittent fasting to help hit his goals. This strategy involves eating all of one’s daily calories and macros (e.g. carbs, protein and fat requirements) during an 8-hour window, and fasting for the rest of the day. Although,pussygetter69 was not strict with his intermittent fasting he found it helpful in keeping his calorie intake in check.

Workout

Success in weight loss also requires physical activity. Pussygetter69 found balancing lifting, cardio and even full body splits with tons of bodyweight exercises gave him the desired results. Pussygetter69 did a combination of HIIT (Sprint intervals) and LISS (speed walk on heavy incline) for his cardio. He would go to the gym 7 days a week and schedule himself to lift every day; however, he recognized the importance of rest and would take a rest day when necessary.

Motivation and Consistency

Setbacks and temptations are inevitable, but pussygetter69 advises staying motivated and being consistent regardless of external circumstances. Everyone needs rest days to prevent injury, but there should not be multiple days of rest in a row because the body will likely start losing its progress. Pussygetter69’s advice is to stay disciplined, sticking to healthy habits of eating, consistent workouts, and celebrate small successes along the way.

Conclusion

As stated before, pussygetter69’s journey is a testament that by following a regular workout schedule and diet and committing to them, excellent results can be achieved in a relatively short time. His experience shows that even the most stringent of weight loss regimens can accommodate treats without completely going off track. His routine may not work for everyone but it’s always good to experiment and find what works best for one’s body. Keeping records of one’s progress can help track milestones and help with motivation.
