In February, a Reddit user challenged themselves to go from obese to normal weight in a year. This meant losing 70lbs to reach their target of 165lbs. The user has since overshot their goal and is continuing to drop. Their secret? A combination of diet, exercise, and MCAT preparation.
Diet and exercise
The user followed a strict diet for six months, consisting of less than 10 carbs a day (no bread) and six months of no sugar at all. They also mentioned having days with zero calorie intake. They did this while working as a surgical tech and dealing with work and school. The user’s diet and exercise plan resulted in great results.
The power of MCAT prep
The user’s weight loss journey was also aided by MCAT preparation. They mentioned that the stress of MCATs was a great way to channel that energy towards something positive. The user also received support from the Reddit community, who not only cheered them on but also asked for updates on their progress.
No loose skin
The user confirmed that they had some loose skin on their sides and underarms, which is expected after losing 70lbs in a year, but nothing too worrisome. They also answered several comments from community members about their diet, calorie intake, and exercise routine.
Takeaway
The user’s weight loss journey shows that with determination and discipline, everyone can achieve their fitness goals. By following a strict diet and exercise routine, the user was able to transform their body in just one year. Many have been inspired by this user's journey, and it's a good reminder that small changes can lead to significant results.
