The Beginning of the Journey

In March, Reddit user AnonymooseMan1 made a life-changing decision to start his weight loss journey. At the time, he weighed 272 pounds at a height of 5’11. After 8 months, he managed to lose 72 pounds, weighing in at 198 pounds. His end goal was 180 pounds by May.

The Transformation

The Redditor’s transformation was nothing short of phenomenal! His confidence was clearly reflected in his before and after pictures, making him a source of inspiration for many others. It was an 8-month journey that required a lot of hard work and dedication, but the results were worth the effort.

The Methodology

Anonymooseman1 never had a trainer. He watched what he ate, worked out 5-6 days a week, and indulged in moderate cardio 3-4 days. For five months, he followed an intermittent fasting regime supplemented by working out and a calorie deficit. From a daily caloric intake standpoint, he began with 1000 calories, shifted to 1600-1800 and finally found his ideal range.

The Diet and Cheat Meals

Another major factor for the Redditor’s success was his diet. He consumed egg whites, whole wheat toast, a variety of chicken dishes with broccoli, and pasta. A protein shake after every exercise session was an absolute must. For the first three months, he did not have any cheat meals. After that, he rewarded himself every other week. He remained mindful about every calorie that he was consuming.

No Shortcuts

AnonymooseMan1’s journey is a testament to the fact that weight loss requires hard work and dedication. There are no shortcuts. Despite the comments on the Reddit forum, the Redditor did not use any steroids or performance-enhancing drugs. His progress was the result of honest effort and strategic planning. Aspiring weight losers, take note!
