Addressing Alcohol Problem and Low T
The Reddit user AlwaysDrunkJay was inspired to get serious about his weight after realizing he had an alcohol problem. Following the Sinclair method and Naltrexone, he was able to reduce his alcohol intake and reach pharmacological extinction in just 7 months. Additionally, he was diagnosed with Low T (testosterone levels in the 180s), which further motivated him to improve his lifestyle.
Rigorous Workout and Diet Regime
The user hit the gym 4 times a week and took 10,000 steps daily to maximize his weight loss. To supplement this workout, he followed a protein-heavy diet, with a daily intake of 250g protein, which corresponds to about 1000 calories of protein. The remaining calories were primarily sourced from healthy fats, and 15% came from healthy carbohydrates. His daily calorie intake for the entire diet regime was between 1750-1850 calories, which helped him reduce body fat and maintain his muscle mass.
Consistency is Key
Despite the challenges presented by a bland diet, the user saw this as an opportunity to stay committed to his weight loss goal. His diet regime primarily consisted of protein shakes and chicken breasts, while dinner options included white fish and roasted veggies. The user persisted with this lifestyle and managed to reach his target weight of 173lbs in just 6 months.
Aim for a Healthy Lifestyle
AlwaysDrunkJay's weight loss journey is a testament to the power of consistent exercise and nutrition. He focused on eating healthy, reducing his alcohol consumption, and maintaining a rigorous workout regime, which ultimately enabled him to reach his target weight. To lose weight, you don't need miracle pills, magic solutions, or fad diets. Instead, try adopting a healthier and sustainable lifestyle that you can maintain in the long run.
Conclusion
AlwaysDrunkJay's weight loss journey is an inspiration to anyone looking to lose weight safely and effectively. Quitting alcohol, following a protein-rich diet, and exercising regularly have shown positive results in a relatively short period. The key takeaway is to strive for a healthy lifestyle rather than quick fixes that lead to temporary results. Anyone can achieve the same outcomes by adapting to a consistent, healthy lifestyle.
