Introduction: A New Year's Resolution for Weight Loss

At the beginning of 2020, a Reddit user who goes by the name Emmalah decided to make a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Weighing 309 pounds, she started working towards a healthier lifestyle by maintaining a daily calorie count and walking. A year later, Emmalah had achieved an impressive weight loss of 161 pounds and, more importantly, had completely transformed her body and mind.

The Routine: CICO and Walking

Emmalah's routine consisted of the 'calories in, calories out' (CICO) method and walking. Initially, her focus was only on CICO, but later she incorporated walking. She started with 5,000 steps daily and gradually increased it to 7,500 and then 10,000. Regular walking helped her burn calories and gave her mental peace.

The Diet: High in Protein, Fiber and Low in Added Sugar

Emmalah had a personalized diet chart designed by a professional dietitian. She focused on consuming 100 grams of protein per day, eating fish thrice a week, consuming 26 grams of fiber daily, and keeping her daily added sugar intake to under 25 grams. She ate multiple, small portions throughout the day and avoided unhealthy snacks and junk food.

The Motivation: Constant Support and Accountability

Emmalah was motivated by the constant support and encouragement she received from the Reddit community. Regular updates, positive feedback, and kind comments kept her motivated throughout her journey. Apart from that, Emmalah also had an accountability partner in the form of a professional dietitian who helped her stay on track.

Conclusion: Anyone Can Achieve a Healthy Lifestyle

Emmalah's transformation is not just inspiring but also proves that anyone can achieve a healthy lifestyle if they are committed and consistent. Her story encourages everyone to prioritize their health and take steps towards improving it. A healthy lifestyle is not just about the number of the scale, but also about the physical and mental well-being that comes with it.
