A Reddit User's Rapid Weight Loss Journey: 300Lbs to 255Lbs in 60 Days

Introduction

We often hear the phrase 'slow and steady wins the race' in the context of weight loss, but one Reddit user's journey seems to defy that logic. In just 60 days, the 28-year-old, 6' 2" male user lost 45lbs without experiencing any significant ill effects.

The Diet Changes

The user stopped drinking alcohol, soda, and caffeine, and also cut out fast food. For the first two weeks, they followed the Slim Fast plan, and then slowly started incorporating actual food into their diet. The user maintained a calorie limit of 1100-1400 per day and closely monitored their sodium intake. A typical day included a small meal of 350 calories, a larger meal of chicken and salad of about 600 calories, and a couple of small snacks.

Exercise

The user did not start exercising during the first 60 days of their weight loss journey but plans to begin soon. The user enjoyed playing pool and had an active job that involved walking about three miles a day on average, suggesting that simple lifestyle changes could play a significant role in achieving their goals.

Keeping Track

The user wore a Fitbit One to track their steps and sync their data with MyFitnessPal, which helped keep them accountable. However, they do caution that a tracking device is not necessary to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Conclusion

Although rapid weight loss is not the norm or recommended, this Reddit user's story shows that significant weight loss can be achieved in a short time without any major side-effects. The keys to success are discipline, determination, healthy food choices, and finding a physical activity that one enjoys. We encourage readers to consult with medical professionals before beginning any diet and exercise regimen.
