A Reddit user, garomk, has shared their inspiring weight loss journey on the forum. In a span of 10 months, garomk managed to shed 27 lbs from their starting weight of 226 lbs. Their goal is to get to 185 lbs, but garomk is already happy with their progress thus far.
The Routine
Garomk reveals that they made significant changes to their eating habits. Instead of ordering large meals from fast food restaurants multiple times a week, they decided to switch to healthier options. Specifically, garomk started grocery shopping for themselves and adding healthier snacks such as popcorn and protein bars. Additionally, they cut down on the number of visits to fast food restaurants, limiting themselves to one Junior Chicken (instead of a large meal) per week. Exercise-wise, garomk only goes to the gym twice a week, but makes sure to maintain muscle with strength training. The key to garomk's weight loss was taking their dog on long walks, which they found more enjoyable than typical cardio exercises like running on a treadmill.
Inspiration for Others
Garomk's weight loss journey is a reminder that even small lifestyle changes can lead to significant weight loss. It's also a great example of how healthy habits can be sustained even when faced with the challenges of being a student or working full-time. Rather than focus on strict diets or exercise regimens, it's all about making small changes that are manageable in the long-term.
Conclusion
Garomk's weight loss journey is a testament to the benefits of making small changes to one's lifestyle. By cutting down on fast food and adding healthy snacks, they were able to lose 27 lbs in 10 months. Additionally, garomk was able to maintain muscle with strength training and walking their dog, avoiding cardio exercises they didn't enjoy.
