Introduction
A Reddit user, RageCage007 shares his inspiring weight loss journey, in which he lost 90 lbs in 19 months through cutting sugar, fasting, and hitting the gym.
Cutting sugar and fasting
RageCage007 shared that he was a soda addict and consumed more than 2L a day, which he cut out entirely, and replaced it with sparkling water. He also incorporated intermittent fasting into his routine by eating dinner at 7:30 pm and not eating again until 2-3 pm the next day, or sometimes not until 7:30 pm again. This helped him control his portion sizes and reduce his daily calorie intake, leading to significant weight loss.
Sorting mental health
RageCage007 acknowledged that his mental health was one of the most challenging aspects of his weight loss journey. He mentioned that eating was a coping mechanism for not addressing his feelings, which led him to feel sad and stressed. Addressing this and getting on medication helped him sort his mental state and motivation to hit the gym.
Hitting the gym
Initially, RageCage007 started hitting the gym twice a week, which gradually turned into hours every day. He purchased a simple multi-gym for home workouts and hit the gym when he could. There was no set workout routine, but he pushed himself to do upper body workouts until he physically couldn't do another rep, followed by lower body the next day. This helped him build strength and increased his fitness levels.
Conclusion
RageCage007's weight loss journey is an inspiring one, and it showcases the power of cutting out unhealthy habits and consistent workouts. If you're looking to start your weight loss journey, RageCage007's tips of cutting sugar, intermittent fasting, and getting active can be a great place to start.
