Introduction
NGHTDRVE shared his incredible weight loss journey on Reddit, chronicling how he lost 32lbs in just nine months. By making healthier lifestyle choices, cutting out alcohol, and being mindful of his calorie intake, he achieved his goal and is continuing down the path of becoming the best version of himself.
Cutting Out Alcohol
Alcohol can be a big contributor to weight gain and unhealthy lifestyle choices. NGHTDRVE recognized this early on and made the decision to cut it out of his life completely. It wasn't easy, but by doing so, he was able to see steady weight loss almost every week.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices
In addition to cutting out alcohol, NGHTDRVE also made other healthy lifestyle choices. He focused on eating clean whole foods as much as possible, while keeping his protein high and fat low. He also made room for cheat meals and treats in moderation, recognizing that it's all about calories in and calories out. His workouts consisted of a normal push-pull split four times a week, along with 20 minutes of cardio for the first six months. During lockdown, he shifted to pure cardio, running, and bike riding a few times a week, as well as surfing almost every day. His commitment to staying active and keeping his body moving helped contribute to his weight loss.
Steady Progress
NGHTDRVE saw steady progress throughout his journey, but it wasn't without moments of doubt and setbacks. He initially took a one-month break from alcohol, but eventually found himself falling back into old habits. However, through sheer determination and perseverance, he was able to completely cut it out for the last three months of his journey. Seeing the results of his hard work and dedication was incredibly motivating, and he's excited to continue on his journey by dropping another five pounds and then focusing on maintaining his weight.
Conclusion
NGHTDRVE's weight loss journey is a testament to the fact that with dedication and commitment, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. By being mindful of his calorie intake, making healthy lifestyle choices, and staying active, he was able to not only lose weight but also take control of his health. You too can achieve your weight loss goals by following in his footsteps and trying things out for yourself!
