Introduction
The journey of shedding weight can be challenging and overwhelming, but with dedication and the right approach, it is possible. One Reddit user's journey illustrates this point.
The Journey
In 14 months, a Reddit user dropped an impressive 31 lbs. The journey involved multiple factors such as eating 95% vegetarian, running, and getting diagnosed with ADHD. Although not the sole reason for the weight loss, going vegetarian played a significant role. The user shares that it helped them cut down on junk food and increase their vegetable and fruit servings.
Running
Another component of their journey was running. Many studies have linked running to weight loss, thanks to its high-intensity aerobic activity that helps burn calories. The Reddit user started slowly by running for one minute then walking for five and gradually building up their stamina. With time, their running increased, and so did their weight loss. The user recommends building up gradually, staying hydrated, and investing in quality running shoes to protect the joints.
ADHD Diagnosis
The Reddit user also mentioned getting diagnosed with ADHD, which may have played a role in their weight loss. ADHD medication can suppress appetite, leading to weight loss, and it may have impacted the user's eating habits.
Conclusion
Losing weight is a journey, and everyone's approach may differ. However, incorporating healthy eating habits, physical activities such as running, and seeking medical advice where necessary, can all contribute to weight loss success. The Reddit user's journey demonstrates the importance of consistency, dedication, and patience. Try things out for yourself, and you too can shed those extra pounds!
