Introduction
M/21/6'3, commonly known as SCErkann on Reddit, shared his experience of a weight loss journey. He successfully lost 24lbs in 12 months, going from 198lbs to 174lbs. SCErkann learned valuable lessons and shared them with the community on Reddit.
The Start of the Weight Loss Journey
In the beginning, SCErkann found himself in a tough spot, being stuck at his current weight. He wanted to gain more mass but was not calculating his calorie intake correctly. As a result, he was in a calorie surplus more often than not. Dirty bulking, or eating at a huge calorie surplus, led to the gain of weight in the form of fat.
The Lesson Learned
SCErkann was able to learn through his journey that for him to lose weight, he had to be in a calorie deficit. To achieve this, he began to track his calorie intake diligently. He also incorporated cardio, such as running and walking, into his regimen. Eating more whole foods and vegetables was another change he made.
The Results
Over the 12 month period, SCErkann was able to lose 24lbs. The majority of the weight loss occurred in the first 2.5 months of the journey. This rapid initial weight loss provided a much-needed motivational boost to continue with his efforts.
Takeaway
SCErkann's journey showcases the importance of tracking calorie intake and exercising moderately combined with a nutritious diet. Dirty bulking is a common mistake that can lead to the gain of unhealthy weight. For those looking to lose weight or gain muscle mass, it is highly recommended to calculate and track calorie intake and to exercise regularly.
