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.

Combination of cardio and strength training

Cardio helped bring down his body fat percentage while strength training helped build muscles. SOYSAUCE1998 went to the gym at least 4 times a week - 2 days for cardio and 2 days for weightlifting. His focus was to challenge his body every day to achieve his goals.

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.

SOYSAUCE1998's journey from 190lbs to 184lbs in 3 months is an inspiration and a testament to how achievable realistic goals of body recomp can be with the right mindset, workout regimen, and diet. So go ahead, set those achievable goals, monitor your calories, hit the gym, and achieve your version of body recomp with consistency and patience.
