Introduction

MrsChuckNorris lost 18.3lbs in just 9 weeks! Are you wondering how she did it? Or perhaps what she can do next to continue her weight loss journey? Here is a summary of her Reddit post and we’ve got you covered with some advice from fellow Redditors.

CICO is Key

MrsChuckNorris attributes most of her success to CICO. She has been consuming 12-1400 calories daily and is keeping an eye on her macros (100g protein, 30g fat, and 150g carbs). Don’t forget that what works for one person may not work for you. Always consult a doctor or a dietician to ensure you are consuming the appropriate amount of nutrients for your body.

Don't Forget Strength Training

Adding strength training to your exercise routine can help speed up weight loss and improve body composition. One comment suggests Strong Curves by Bret Contreras as a program to try, another suggests Starting Strength or StrongLifts 5x5 for beginners. Whichever you choose - make sure to tailor it to your fitness level and goals.

Watch Out for Key Side-Effects of Weight Loss

It might not always be immediately noticeable, but losing weight can affect your facial features. MrsChuckNorris found this was the case for her, once she began losing the pounds. Another side-effect she experienced? According to ProgressPicsBot’s comment, she became a sexy 27-year-old Chinese woman! MrsChuckNorris’ humorous response? - ‘Perhaps I should consult my doctor’.

Conclusion

Whether you’re trying to shed pounds or gain them, remember that weight loss (and gain) is a journey. It takes time, effort, and patience. Make adjustments to your lifestyle that are fitting for you, and don’t forget to seek advice from professionals, such as your doctor or a dietician. Don’t forget that strength training can help speed up weight loss and improve body composition. Start off slowly, adjust to your fitness level and build up. You’ll get there one day!
