Introduction
Reddit user amelialosesit has shared an inspiring weight loss journey on the platform with over 8,000 upvotes. In a post, she recounts losing a staggering 178lbs in a few years through changes in her diet and physical activities.
Finding the perfect regime
Amelia lost the weight through a combination of weightlifting and a keto diet. This combination helped her find a routine her body felt good with.
Combined approach
The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that largely consists of meat, fish, eggs, and veggies. Its goal is to put the body in a state of ketosis that burns fat for fuel rather than carbs. With weightlifting, Amelia built muscle, and with the keto diet, she lost fat. Together, they made the perfect regime for her weight loss journey.
Achieving the goal
Through dedication, hard work, and the support of the Reddit community, Amelia managed to lose 178lbs, going from 355lbs to 177lbs. Not only has she shed the pounds and kept them off, but she also looks half her age at 26.
Inspiration for others
Amelia’s journey is a reminder to everyone that a healthy lifestyle is attainable, and it’s never too late to start. Her story, along with the supportive comments from Reddit users, can serve as an inspiration to others who may be struggling with weight loss. If Amelia can do it, so can you!
