Introduction

In a Reddit post, a user with the handle lcg9527 shared her weight loss journey, which inspired and motivated many users on the platform. She revealed that she lost 21lbs in 5 months, which she attributes to two things: walking more and loosely following intermittent fasting.

Loose IF

The Reddit user explained that she followed intermittent fasting loosely, often having breakfast with friends and colleagues a couple of times a week. She would skip breakfast most days and have her first meal around noon and finish her last meal by 8 pm. Her loose approach allowed her to maintain a sustainable lifestyle while still shedding the extra pounds.

Walking

The user also revealed that walking more was another critical aspect of her weight loss journey, which she found more enjoyable than intense workouts. She would aim for 50,000 steps per week, which translates to an average of 3,000 to 12,000 steps per day. Walking also helped her maintain her body composition.

Short but Sweet

Being a 'shorty' herself, she expressed how challenging it was to lose weight and emphasized how even a small pound of weight loss made a significant difference in her body composition. She aims to achieve around 135lbs and is currently at 166lbs. She received comments from people who have had similar struggles as hers and commended her on her progress.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's experience of losing 21 pounds in 5 months through a sustainable lifestyle of loose intermittent fasting and walking is a testament that small changes can lead to significant outcomes. Her story motivated and inspired many on the platform, and she encouraged others to try these methods out for themselves.
