Diet Changes
The journey towards weight loss success for this Reddit user began with intermittent fasting, specifically with Once a day meals (OMAD). They also included foods high in protein such as baked chicken, eggs, salmon, tilapia, lentils, beans, and green vegetables, and they made sure their protein intake was at least 120g daily.
Exercise Plan
Huxleynicole made sure to include exercise in their routine, doing strength training for an hour and 15-30-minute cardio or 20-30 minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts at least 5x weekly. They slept for at least 7-8 hours and drank at least 90-100 oz water daily. They also mentioned doing body weight push-ups, bent over rows, and chest presses, among other exercises.
Success Achieved
Thanks to their new lifestyle, Huxleynicole was able to reach a weight of 189 lbs from 304 lbs in a year, a loss of 115 pounds. They also saw a decrease of 19 inches in their waist and a 26% decrease in body fat. They still have some loose skin, but it is minimal, primarily due to the gaining of muscle mass that also occurred during their weight loss journey.
Conclusion
Huxleynicole's journey towards weight loss success is inspiring, and their lifestyle changes are ones that others can try for themselves. With alterations in diet, exercise, and fasting, it is possible to achieve one's weight loss goals. However, as everyone's body is different, their results may vary, and they should do what is realistic and healthy for them.
