Introduction

One Reddit user recently shared their incredible weight loss journey photos, which showed an 85lbs loss over the course of a year. The user, brokeflo, shared that they never told themselves that they couldn't have certain foods or drinks, but rather focused on moderation and calorie deficits.

Dedication to a Calorie Deficit

Throughout the year, brokeflo's daily calorie intake varied, but their 'rule' was to eat 500 calories under their Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). They never deprived themselves of any particular food or drink, maintaining a healthy attitude towards food choices.

Fitness and Gym Routine

Exercising played a significant role in brokeflo's weight loss journey. They started going to the gym regularly, but with setbacks due to COVID-19 lockdowns. With time, they found the body's ability to adapt to exercise was a positive factor, with the gym becoming a source of stress relief and fun.

Drinking Habits and Moderation

One of the most fundamental changes in brokeflo's lifestyle was their drinking habits. They made a conscious decision to reduce their alcohol intake, which ultimately resulted in significant progress in their weight loss journey.

Conclusion

Some of the most remarkable transformations can result from a combination of small, incremental changes in your lifestyle. There's no magic formula, and the key is to find a balance that works for you. If nothing else, this weight loss journey serves as an inspiration that with dedication and moderation, anything is possible.
