Setting realistic goals: Body Recomp
As SOYSAUCE1998 shared in his Reddit post, his focus was not to lose weight drastically, but to achieve a body recomposition. Setting such realistic goals helped him stay consistent and motivated with his fitness journey.
Calorie tracking: The key to weight loss and body recomp
The Redditor emphasized how tracking his calories has been instrumental in his success. He downloaded a calorie tracking app and started monitoring his daily food intake. By consuming fewer calories than he burnt, he was able to lose fat while building muscles - a perfect recipe for body recomp.

Importance of recovery and rest days
While consistent workout is crucial, SOYSAUCE1998 also ensured that he got enough rest and sleep for muscle recovery. He made sure to take a break from workouts at least one day in a week to let his muscles recover and grow.
