Introduction

Intermittent fasting and strength conditioning have been becoming increasingly popular over the years for their effectiveness in shedding weight, and this Reddit user is proof of that.

The Journey

Over the span of a year, this Reddit user, throwaway161598, was able to lose 60 lbs, going from 235 to 175 lbs. He attributes his weight loss success to intermittent fasting and strength conditioning. This has been no easy feat but he was able to accomplish his goal weight even after Thanksgiving dinner.

The Methods

Throwaway161598 practiced both 16:8 and 20:4 fasting cycles. This means that during the day, he would have a feeding window of 8 or 4 hours and fasted for the remainder of the day. He also aimed to improve his muscle mass and toned his physique with strength conditioning.

Results and Impact

One year later, throwaway161598 has seen significant results. He lost 60 lbs, and although he does have some loose skin around his stomach, thighs, and love handles, it has been minimal. He credits intermittent fasting and strength conditioning for helping him achieve his goal weight.

Conclusion

Intermittent fasting and strength conditioning are not one-size-fits-all solutions, but through consistent efforts and staying committed to one's goals, weight loss and fitness goals can be achieved. Always remember that individual results may vary and consulting a healthcare professional before starting any health program is highly recommended.
