Introduction
In just 10 months, Reddit user Entrefilet lost a whopping 56lbs and got in shape. How did he do it? By quitting smoking, cutting down on drinking, and adopting a healthy lifestyle through exercise and a balanced diet.
The Starting Point
At the beginning of his weight loss journey, Entrefilet weighed 230lbs and had a BMI of 32.9, which put him in the obese category. However, losing weight wasn't his only goal. He also wanted to quit smoking and cut back on drinking. Losing weight was just a bonus.
The Journey
Entrefilet's weight loss journey included 5 days of lifting and 1 or 2 runs (5k, sometimes 7-9km) per week. His routine also included a calorie-controlled and balanced diet. He counted his calories to make sure that he created a calorie deficit to lose weight. Though he faced plateaus along the way, he persevered and stuck with his program and eventually broke through the plateau each time.
The Results
After 10 months, Entrefilet's hard work paid off, and he lost 56lbs, dropping his BMI to 24.8. Not only that, he feels healthier and more energetic. He has also inspired many people on Reddit who have commented on his post with their own journeys and how he has motivated them to keep going.
Conclusion
Losing weight and getting in shape is not easy, but it is possible, as Entrefilet has shown. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, quitting unhealthy habits, and following a balanced diet and exercise routine, anyone can achieve their weight-loss goals. It's important to remember that plateaus are a common part of the journey, but by sticking to your program and focusing on calorie counting, you will eventually break through them. Age is just a number, and anyone can make a change at any point in their life.
