The Method
CICO (Calories In Calories Out), as the name suggests, is weight loss by simply maintaining a calorie deficit, where an individual consciously eats lesser calories than the number of calories burned. Resistance training, which includes weight lifting, aids in muscle gain and prevents muscle loss while being in a calorie deficit, leading to effective weight loss. According to 'darkwhyti', he followed a daily calorie intake between 2400-2800 calories, and his workout routine mainly emphasized resistance training rather than cardio.
Inspiring Many
The post by 'darkwhyti' received positive responses from Reddit users, with many applauding his hard work and dedication towards his goal. His journey and dedication have inspired many to embark on their weight loss journey.
Conclusion
The weight loss journey of 'darkwhyti' is a testament to the fact that discipline, perseverance, and consistency can help anyone to achieve their goal. Every individual's body type and requirements are different, but CICO, along with resistance training, can undoubtedly be helpful. For anyone starting their weight loss journey, it's essential to understand that it's not a sprint, but a marathon. Start with small steps, make changes, and stick to them; it won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Try Things Out
If you're looking to lose weight, consider trying out this method, but always consult your doctor or a dietician before making any drastic changes. Understand that consistency and patience are crucial, and it may require several attempts before finally succeeding. Get inspired, set realistic goals, and keep pushing yourself towards them; you'll eventually get there.
