Introduction

One reddit user, braziliankid007, has shared their remarkable weight loss journey with the world, from 300 to 180 pounds in just 1.5 years. This article will explore their tips and motivation, and provide inspiration for those on a similar journey.

Battling Extremes

At the beginning of his journey, braziliankid007 battled an extreme calorie deficit, with hindsight showing this approach was not healthy. However, he still was able to lose weight without working out. He suggests a calorie deficit of 500-1000 calories depending on weight, combined with 1 gram of protein per body pound and lifting weights 3-5 times a week. Starting strength is a good program for beginners. Writing down calorie intake is important, as is not cutting out favorite foods. Believing in yourself is key, too.

A Transformational Emotional Journey

Aside from the physical changes in appearance, braziliankid007 experienced a weight loss journey that was transformational emotionally for him. The process of weighing all his food, keeping a note of his calorie intake, and setting seemingly impossible targets made him feel that he was in control of his life - a great feeling. While the process is long, visible progress sustains the motivation, and sticking to the plan and goal is so worth it.

Motivation for Yourself

braziliankid007 reminds anyone embarking on a weight loss journey that results happen once you believe in yourself, and he advises finding a support network, even if this is online. Keeping a record of the journey is helpful for staying motivated, and also good to come back to later - to realize how far one has come. As he says, it's a journey that takes as long as it takes, and it's worth every step.

Conclusion

So be inspired by braziliankid007's journey and persist through the difficulties, because, ultimately, it's all worth it for the feeling of pride and control in achieving a long-term transformation. Remember braziliankid007's tips, and give yourself the support and self-belief that is needed to make these changes happen. It is a journey that anyone can embark on, and everyone can achieve, so get started today.
