75 Hard Program

This Reddit user followed the 75 Hard program, which is an intense 75-day fitness challenge. yukdumboobum26 decided to do the program for 101 days instead. The program requires you to follow a diet, exercise, and healthy habits every day for a set number of days. This may involve consuming water only, sticking with a calorie limit, doing multiple exercises a day, and staying away from excuses as to why you are not working out. The program involves two workouts per day, with one workout outside, plus daily progress photos.

Exercise and Diet Plan

This Reddit user exercised 6 days a week, with 45-minute runs and weightlifting. They did a 45-minute walk on the 7th day and a stationary bike exercise for 45 minutes. Their diet was mainly 16/8 intermittent fasting, with just one meal a day, contributing to the diet pattern's overall calorie restriction. This helped yukdumboobum26 achieve the caloric deficit necessary for fat loss. Although the post shared little about specific foods being consumed, it emphasized that sticking to the calories goal was crucial.

Plateau Days

It took 70 to 101 days for the Reddit user to see considerable progress, which means a lot of weight loss was in the journey's final stages. Some Reddit commenters identified with this plateau experience and shared their helpful insights. Regardless, yukdumboobum26 pulled through and achieved their weight loss goal.
