Introduction
BigManShrek77, a Reddit user, has shared his impressive 90lb weight loss journey. He attributes his success to CICO (calories in, calories out), cycling, and bodyweight strength training.
Easy does it
BigManShrek77 started his weight loss journey in three phases, one phase for every three weeks. This helped him maintain a process that was manageable and not overwhelming. He then adopted an extremely low-calorie diet for his size, moderated by medical professionals at 1500-1800 calories a day.
Body needs movement
He added in cycling after the diet adjustment using Peloton and incorporated power zone training. Additionally, he started doing bodyweight strength training three times a week through the Peloton app. This gradually improved his mobility, athleticism, and overall fitness. BigManShrek77 is now saving up for weights to replace bodyweight exercises.
Mindset shift
BigManShrek77 changed his approach to food by listening to his body instead of his brain. This is a crucial mindset shift, and it helped him embrace a more sustainable lifestyle instead of relying on short-term measures. He did not count exercise calories, as he found that it allowed him to justify bad decisions. Instead, he aimed to establish his diet before introducing any exercise. He now considers exercise a rewarding part of his day.
Conclusion
BigManShrek77's journey is a testament to the effectiveness of CICO and exercise, but it is also a reminder that the right mindset is critical. His achievements are an inspiration to all who aspire to lose weight healthily and are looking for a plan that fits their lifestyle. Try out BigManShrek77's approach and see what works for you!
