Introduction

A Reddit user, supercatpuke, has shared his weight loss journey on the platform, inspiring many. He lost 45lbs in 3.5 years, with the majority of it coming off before his 9-month alcohol abstinence. He credits his weight loss success to combination of no alcohol, a ketogenic diet, and a high activity level.

No Alcohol

After living with a heavy drinking issue for almost 15 years, his body and emotional well-being experienced a lot of damage. He decided to sober up, but didn't join any programs. Instead, he made the decision himself to abstain from alcohol, which paid off tremendously as his body looked different and he felt better within nine months. This serves as an inspirational story for others to be motivated to improve their health if they are struggling with alcoholism.

Ketogenic Diet

Supercatpuke lost the majority of his weight by sticking to a ketogenic diet for 2.5 years. Even though he continued drinking alcohol during that period, the diet worked for him. These days, he enjoys oats with protein in the mornings, skillet-cooked chicken for lunch or dinner, and high fiber foods. He indulges his sweet tooth regularly but is active enough to not pay any price for it.

High Activity Level

Supercatpuke is a testament to the power of being active. Despite drinking alcohol for a long time, he involved himself in physical activities, such as snowshoeing, paddleboarding, snowboarding, running, and weight-lifting. His commitment to high activity levels helped him mitigate the health issues alcohol and weight gain could have caused him and allowed him to resume a healthy and positive lifestyle.

Conclusion

Supercatpuke is an incredible example of how the combination of a well-balanced diet, physical activity, and abstaining from alcohol can result in significant weight loss and an overall improvement in health. It is a reminder that everyone can take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle and inspire those around them to do the same.
