Introduction

A Reddit user, GooblinAndGobblin, has shared his inspiring transformation journey that proves hard work and consistency pay off in the long run. By following simple techniques, he lost 50 pounds of weight in around four years. Many users have commented on his post, seeking tips on losing weight healthily.

Diet & Exercise Changes

GooblinAndGobblin stressed that diets that restrict your favorite foods ultimately cause binge eating, which is not healthy. He advises people to follow their cravings to learn healthy moderation. He advises people to download a nutrition tracking app to help recognize high calorie foods and monitor their overall calorie intake. Along with diet changes, GooblinAndGobblin also made exercise an integral part of his routine. Initially, he focused on lifting heavier weights, but later included activities like running, CrossFit, and rock climbing that interested him. He emphasizes that including cardio, such as brisk walks or cardio activity classes or CrossFit, and trying out different activities, is better than trying to make weight lifting the only constant in your routine, which can be difficult and boring.

No Supplements, No Magic Diets

GooblinAndGobblin credits his progress to consistency and hard work, along with a healthy diet and exercise. He followed a simple diet of mostly healthy homemade meals and didn't rely on any particular vitamins or supplements. He cautions against the lure of expensive supplements and quick-fix diets that promise miracles, as they often offer more harm than good. Additionally, he attributes his success to giving up drinking and developing healthier habits.

Looking Good & Feeling Good

GooblinAndGobblin admits he is pleased with his physical appearance but more importantly, cites that he feels good and happy in his skin. He explains regular exercise and healthy eating has cured him of his former junk food cravings and he even expressed a newfound appreciation for veggies and fruits alike. Healthy living is less of a way of life now and has transformed into a lifestyle choice that resonates with him on a more profound level.

Conclusion

GooblinAndGobblin's experience emphasizes the importance of holding ourselves accountable for our health and well-being. His journey proves that by making small and consistent changes to our lifestyle, we can be successful in our weight loss mission – it just takes perseverance and determination. Remember, it is not about self-hate, but rather self-love and nourishing the body and mind in the best way possible. Take his advice, but make sure you try things out for yourself and find what works best for you.
