Background

Bethvader, a 33-year-old woman, decided to make a change in her life and embark on a weight loss journey. She was 5'6 and weighed 265lbs, which put her in the obese category. Bethvader had been a long-time lurker on Reddit but never had anything to contribute until she started this journey.

The Journey

Bethvader started by cutting out her 6 cans of soda a day habit and being in a calorie deficit for 2 months. This meant that she was consuming fewer calories than she was burning, which resulted in weight loss. She lost an impressive 42lbs during these 2 months and noted that she still had a way to go. However, she was excited to continue on her journey.

The Importance of Cutting Out Soda

Bethvader's journey highlights the importance of cutting out soda when trying to lose weight. A can of soda can contain up to 150 calories, all of which are empty calories that provide no nutritional value. By cutting out her 6 cans a day habit, Bethvader was able to significantly reduce her calorie intake and kick-start her weight loss journey.

The Benefits of Being in a Calorie Deficit

Being in a calorie deficit essentially means that you are consuming fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. This creates a calorie deficit, which forces your body to use stored fat for energy. This results in weight loss. Bethvader's journey shows that being in a calorie deficit can be an effective way to lose weight.

Conclusion

Bethvader's journey is a testament to the power of determination and making small lifestyle changes. By cutting out soda and being in a calorie deficit, she was able to lose an impressive 42lbs in just 2 months. Her journey serves as an inspiration to anyone who is looking to make a change in their life. Remember, small changes can lead to big results. Try cutting out soda or being in a calorie deficit for yourself and see what kind of results you can achieve!
