Introduction

A Reddit user, VeryHorriblePerson, at the age of 22 and weighing 220lbs, embarked on a weight loss journey that completely transformed his appearance in 8 months. He documented his journey on the platform, and his success story has inspired thousands. His key to losing 40lbs was a scientifically backed method called CICO+IF. Read on to know more!

CICO+IF: The Secret Sauce

Calories in, calories out (CICO) is the fundamental principle of weight loss. It means that to lose weight, you must expend more calories than you consume. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a popular weight loss technique that involves restricting your eating window, which helps control calorie intake. The Reddit user followed CICO+IF, which requires a mindful and calorie-controlled diet within a particular time frame.

Be Patient and Don't Give Up

One of the most challenging parts of any weight loss journey is not seeing immediate results. The Reddit user encouraged his followers to keep at it and not give up when they feel stuck. He noted that he went through a phase where the scale did not move for at least two months, but his body still changed. Patience and perseverance are vital in weight loss journeys.

Body Changes Along the Weight Loss Journey

The Reddit user posted pictures where he was 190lbs and then again at 180lbs. While the scale showed only a 10lb difference, his body looked remarkably different. He advised others on the platform that stuck at a particular weight not to give up hope since their body might still be undergoing transitions in the shape of a different fat distribution, muscle growth, and other factors.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's weight loss journey serves as a reminder that with the right mindset, techniques like CICO+IF, and patience, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. What helped this Reddit user might not be useful for someone else, so it's worth trying different approaches until you find one that works for you. Remember, consistency and practice are the keys to success!
