Introduction

Losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is often a tough and challenging task. However, by following a simple routine and being consistent, amazing transformations can happen. A Reddit user, Square-Ad4927, shares his journey of losing 95lbs in 2 years with his diet and workout routine.

The Diet

Square-Ad4927's diet primarily consisted of basic food items such as baked chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, tuna, salmon, raw almonds, yogurt, eggs, and avocado. He only drank water and followed intermittent fasting where he ate only once a day, aiming for a calorie intake of 1500 per day. He also allowed himself a higher calorie intake once or twice per month to prevent metabolic damage from setting in.

The Workout Routine

Square-Ad4927's workout routine was straightforward and included generic lifts with free weights such as pull-ups and lots of dips. He did not have any specific workout plan and just used basic lifting techniques that everyone typically does. His focus was to be consistent and keep doing what he was doing.

The Key to Success

Square-Ad4927's journey is an excellent example of how consistency and perseverance are the keys to success. Even though there were times he felt like he wasn't making enough progress, he never gave up and continued with his simple routine. Eventually, he saw the results he was hoping for – a six-pack! He advises others to stick to the basic routine, know the foods they want to consume, and have the willpower to maintain it.

Conclusion

Diet and workout routines do not have to be complicated to witness significant transformations. Square-Ad4927's journey shows that basic food items and routine workouts can lead to positive results when done consistently. Find what works for you, stay committed, and results will follow.
