Introduction

Reddit user IprolificHaze lost 19 pounds in two and a half months after getting clean from heroin. They didn’t use any dieting program and mainly relied on a high-protein, low-calorie, low-carb diet. They also exercised by walking around 2.5 miles per day and lifting weights for an hour to an hour and a half.

The Diet

IprolificHaze consumed around 120 to 150 grams of protein a day, and most of it came from chicken -- they were cooking it multiple ways. They ate low-calorie and high-fiber fruits such as blackberries, strawberries, watermelon, and oranges. They also ate a high-carb, protein, and fat breakfast as soon as they woke up around 5:00 am. For lunch at noon, they ate whatever their work cafeteria served, usually a tuna sandwich with no mayonnaise. During the work break at 2:00 pm, they would have another sandwich with chicken, turkey, or roast beef on a single piece of honey wheat bread or a protein shake. For dinner, they ate chicken with vegetables such as broccoli. They ate fruit when craving sugar.

The Exercise

IprolificHaze walked 2.5 miles per day to reach the gym, worked out lifting weights for an hour to an hour and a half, then walked 2.5 miles back home. They claimed that walking might have been the reason they could eat a lot despite a high-protein and low-calorie diet. IprolificHaze became muscular, which might have also helped them maintain their metabolism and weight loss.

The Recovery

IprolificHaze started the weight loss journey about two weeks after getting clean from heroin. They ended up enjoying being alive again, as it made them feel better. The physical change was crucial and made them feel better about themself. Being aware of the number of calories they were consuming was another great help in their weight loss journey.

Conclusion

IprolificHaze lost 19 pounds, and people are impressed by their transformation. They didn't follow a particular diet or a personal trainer, just a high-protein, low-carb meal plan combined with lots of walking and standard weight training. If anyone wants to follow IprolificHaze's diet routine, they recommend being careful with how they approach their meal plan and listening to their body when they feel something is not working. Losing weight is not easy, but with dedication and the right mindset, anyone can achieve their goals.
