Introduction

A Reddit user, Williumg, has been on a weight loss journey for the past 8 months and has lost an impressive 56 lbs through dieting and gymming. His transformation has attracted 293 upvotes and a lot of appreciation in the comments section. In this article, we take a closer look at what Williumg has done to achieve his weight loss and what advice he has to offer others who want to embark on their own fitness journey.

Diet Plan

Williumg followed a low-carb diet plan for 6 days a week, limiting his carb intake to under 60 grams. He did not do cardio on his carb load days. He consumed 200g of protein daily while limiting his fat intake to good fats. This combination of diet and exercise helped him shed his excess weight effectively.

Workout Routine

Williumg's routine included weight training 4-5 times a week. He did fasted cardio and HIIT on his low-carb days and only weight training on his carb load days. The gym and seeing progress motivated him to keep pushing himself towards losing more weight.

Motivation

Williumg's motivation stemmed from hating how he looked in his shirts once he began going to job interviews. He wanted to look good for himself and others too. Over time, his friends introduced him to weight lifting, a move which he fell in love with and found it to be his primary source of motivation. Williumg had also booked a holiday for June and wanted to look good by the pool, so he used that as extra motivation to lose his excess weight.

Conclusion

Williumg's weight loss journey is a testament to the power of diet and exercise in achieving one's fitness goals. His low-carb diet and weight training routine may not be for everyone, but his story serves as an inspiration for those looking to get fit. By making small tweaks to our lifestyle, we too can achieve our fitness goals and look and feel our best selves.
