Introduction

One Reddit user, a F/27 weighing 178lbs and standing at 5'7'', underwent a successful weight transformation through a cut and subsequent recomposition. She documented her journey in a post, sharing her progress and triumph over binge eating disorder, which had previously hindered her attempts at losing weight. The post received 41 upvotes.

The Cut

The user began her journey by first cutting weight. Her approach was simple: she kept to a calorie deficit by tracking her intake using the MyFitnessPal app. She also incorporated intermittent fasting. Along the way, she discovered the benefits of weight lifting, which helped preserve her muscle mass as she shed pounds. In a span of 3 months, she was able to lose 32 lbs.

The Recomposition

After achieving her desired weight, the user transitioned to a recomposition period. Her goal was to maintain her weight while lowering her body fat percentage and building muscle. She continued weight lifting and incorporated more protein into her diet while keeping her calorie intake at maintenance level. Over time, she was able to achieve a tighter and leaner physique.

Overcoming Binge Eating Disorder

One of the major hurdles the user faced was binge eating disorder. She shared how it had affected her weight loss efforts in the past, but this time around, she took a different approach. Instead of restricting herself too much, she allowed herself to indulge in moderation. She also sought therapy and medication to help manage her disorder. Through determination and a supportive community, she was able to overcome and conquer her eating disorder.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's weight transformation journey serves as an inspiration to those who may also struggle with binge eating disorder or initiating a successful weight loss program. With a combination of a calorie deficit, weight lifting, and allowing for moderation in diet, it is possible to achieve a healthier and leaner physique. Seeking support and help for a mental health condition is also important in achieving overall well-being.
