Introduction
PumpAndDump, a 36-year-old male, shares his successful weight loss story on Reddit. He started at 197 lbs and achieved his goal of 177 lbs.
Calorie Intake Management
PumpAndDump managed his calorie intake by restricting between 300-500 calories per day from his break-even point. On some days, he even lowered his intake further, depending on his hunger levels. He also chose protein and fat-rich foods, which kept him full longer.
Healthy Eating Habits
The user believes in eating healthier foods but found higher protein and fat-rich foods more satisfying than carb-heavy ones. He realized that he would need a good amount of protein to maintain muscle mass after shedding off the extra pounds. Though he admits that he needs to work on eating more vegetables.
The Role of Nutrient Blends
One commenter suggested that the user include organic kale and other leafy vegetables in a shake. The user agreed that this seemed like a great idea since it would be easier to absorb the nutrients that way.
Conclusion
PumpAndDump's weight loss story shows that everyone can achieve their weight loss goals with calorie control, healthy eating habits, and appropriate muscle exercises. With consistency, attaining a healthy weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is possible.
