Introduction
Eggs__Woodhouse, a 28-year-old Reddit user, recently shared his inspiring weight loss journey, losing a total of 28 pounds in just 18 months.
Diet and Exercise Routine
Eggs__Woodhouse's diet includes intermittent fasting during the weekdays (from 9 PM to 12 PM) and avoiding carbohydrates and sugary food whenever possible. His primary goal is to stay in a calorie deficit. On the exercise front, he does a mix of strength training, core, and cardio four days a week. He spends between 1 1/2-2 hours of workout time, starting with a 1-mile run, followed by targeted exercises for specific muscles. His workouts hit Chest/Tri's (Monday), Back/Bi's (Tuesday), Shoulders/Trap's (Thursday), and Legs/Forearms (Friday). He then does four different core exercises daily, targeting different parts of his abdomen. Finally, he drinks a protein shake after workouts and has a meat-based meal along with a vegetable or rice for dinner, finishing it off with a small snack around 8 or 9 PM.
Motivation
Eggs__Woodhouse was motivated by his ongoing lack of self-confidence and unhappiness with his appearance. He decided to step on a scale and couldn't accept that he was very close to 200 pounds. He made the decision to change his lifestyle and persevered, which led to his significant weight loss.
Current and Future Goals
Eggs__Woodhouse's most significant recent milestone was getting down to 12% body fat. His next major goal is to stay around 165 pounds while achieving 10% body fat. This shift in focus from overall weight loss to body composition is a significant shift in his goals and speaks to his dedication and motivation in his weight loss journey.
Conclusion
Eggs__Woodhouse's weight loss journey is an inspiring example of dedication, hard work, and consistency. For anyone looking to embark on their weight loss journey, consider Eggs__Woodhouse's diet and exercise routine as a blueprint for success.
