Introduction
Weight loss journeys are often challenging and require a committed mindset to achieve set goals. But, with persistence and the right approach, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. One such success story is that of a 31-year-old man who lost 50 pounds over 11 months by simply walking, counting calories, tracking macros, and weightlifting.
The Starting Point
At 5’9” and weighing 220lbs, this man was determined to start walking every day to shed some weight. He committed to walking 10,000 to 20,000 steps every day, which helped him lose his initial weight.
Counting Calories and Macros
Alongside walking, the man began recording his daily calorie intake and macros. Counting calories and macros helps give insight into food intake, and ensures a healthy balance of nutrients.
Weightlifting to Burn Fat
As he progressed, the man began to incorporate weightlifting into his routine to build muscle and burn fat. Weightlifting boosts metabolism, and therefore helps in maintaining the weight loss achieved over time.
Conclusion
This 31-year-old man's weight loss journey is a great reminder of the benefits of walking, counting calories and macros, and weightlifting. It takes a lot of dedication and persistence, but the results are worth it. If you're looking to lose weight, try these steps out for yourself and see how they work for you!
