Introduction

Reddit user gentlegiant74, a 25-year-old male who stands at 6'5" and weighed 343.6lbs, decided to embark on a weight loss journey. He shared his journey on Reddit, providing insights on his experiences and the progress he made.

Gaining Control Over the Cravings

One of the first steps gentlegiant74 took was understanding and controlling his cravings. He realized that he often ate out of boredom or emotion, and he resolved to take control of those triggers. He started with eating high-fiber, low-carb foods that kept him feeling full much longer.

Working Out and Staying Active

Gentlegiant74 also knew that weight loss wasn't all about the food he ate. He made sure to incorporate some form of physical activity into his daily routine to help burn calories. He started off slowly, taking walks or doing light exercise, but as the weight came off, he found himself being able to be more active and started hitting the gym.

Small Lifestyle Changes Make a Big Difference

Gentlegiant74 didn't make drastic changes to his lifestyle. Instead, he made small changes that made a big difference. For example, he started drinking more water and tea instead of soda or juice, and he tried to get more sleep at night. These small changes, when done consistently, can lead to big results.

Stay Motivated and Keep Going

Gentlegiant74 admits that there were times he wanted to quit his weight loss journey. However, he found motivation from online support groups and his progress photos. He also didn't beat himself up if he slipped up with his diet or missed a workout. He knew that weight loss is a journey that comes with ups and downs, and the most important thing was to keep moving forward.
