Introduction
One year ago, a Reddit user going by the name [deleted] weighed 330 pounds. But with commitment to heavy resistance training, high intensity interval training (HIIT) and a healthier diet, they managed to lose 62 pounds and now weigh 265lbs.
The Importance of Resistance Training
One of the key factors in [deleted]'s weight loss journey was the adoption of heavy resistance training. Resistance training builds lean muscle mass and helps boost metabolism, leading to increased calorie expenditure while at rest. This type of exercise also helps prevent muscle loss associated with weight loss, ensuring that most of the weight lost is actually fat.
The Role of HIIT
In addition to resistance training, [deleted] incorporated high intensity interval training (HIIT) into their exercise routine. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest. This type of training helps burn more calories in a shorter amount of time compared to steady state cardio, making it an efficient way to lose weight.
The Power of a Clean Diet
Alongside their exercise routine, [deleted] also made significant changes to their diet. They focused on eating whole foods and cut back on junk food and sugary drinks. Eating a clean diet not only makes it easier to control calorie intake, but is also important for overall health and well-being.
Conclusion
It's clear that [deleted]'s dedication to resistance training, HIIT, and a cleaner diet paid off. While everyone's weight loss journey may be different, incorporating these elements into a lifestyle change can help individuals achieve their weight loss goals. Remember to speak with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine.
