Introduction
Losing weight is a journey, not a race. And that's precisely what Reddit user, junaldo83, discovered in his weight loss journey, where he lost 45lbs over the course of 30 months.
The Power of Intermittent Fasting
The journey began with junaldo83 slowly but surely getting into intermittent fasting. He first started with 16/8, transitioned to 18/6 and finally settled at OMAD (one meal a day) 23/1, which gave him incredible results. Junaldo83's OMAD diet mainly consisted of clean, whole foods such as vegetables and fruits.
Training the Body and the Mind
In addition to his diet, junaldo83 also trained six times a week for an hour, alternating between a full-body calisthenics workout with rings and cardio exercises. But his journey was not only about training his body; he also focused on learning everything about his body, how it works, why we act the way we do and how the brain works. This enabled him to stay motivated and make healthier choices consistently.
The Biggest Takeaway
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from junaldo83's weight loss journey is the importance of enjoying the ride. Even if you have a long road ahead, don't wait to see the result to be happy and enjoy yourself. Visualize yourself reaching that goal and be happy and proud every day to get a little bit closer – that's where true success lies.
Conclusion
The key takeaway from junaldo83's journey is that losing weight takes time, patience, and consistency. It requires combining a healthy diet, exercise, and a better understanding of your body. If you're looking to lose weight, his advice is to take it one day at a time, focus on the journey, and be kind to yourself along the way.
