Introduction

Losing weight can be a challenging feat and for many, one that is difficult to accomplish. However, after many failed attempts, Reddit user Rkruegz was finally able to achieve their desired physique in just a month and a half. Using healthy eating and regular exercise, Rkruegz was able to shed 20 lbs while still being able to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling meal plan.

Meal Plan

Rkruegz credits their successful weight loss and improved health to their simple yet satisfying meal plan consisting of three meals and a few snacks. Breakfast usually consists of three eggs, a cup of oatmeal, chia seeds, cinnamon and almond milk. Lunch usually comprises of tofu, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and dinner would consist of kale, red onions, tomatoes, black beans and olive oil. Snacks usually vary, and dinner usually amounts to 2,450 calories a day.

Exercise Routine

In addition to eating healthy, Rkruegz is committed to working out five times a week by incorporating a varied cardio and strength-training workout. They often lift weights for 30-45 minutes, use the stair climber for 25 minutes and walk around 7-8 miles each day. On a typical day, Rkruegz burns approximately 1,860 flights, equivalent to the height of Empire State Building.

The Unexpected Results

Since starting their healthy journey, Rkruegz noticed reductions in their sodium intake and overall water weight. Prior to changing their dietary habits, Rkruegz consumed a lot of processed food high in sodium and carbs and drank alcohol often. Rkruegz is eating around 2,200-2,500 calories a day and has lost 20 lbs in one month and a half without constantly monitoring calories burned or restricting their diet.

Conclusion

Although helpful advice from the Reddit community was given, Rkruegz's successful health journey is largely self-driven. With a consistent and sustainable meal plan and exercise routine, Rkruegz was able to achieve their desired physique in just one and a half month without compromising their lifestyle or their health.
