The Reddit User's Journey

The Reddit user Kyle_Hanney shared their weight loss journey on the platform. Over an 8-month period, the user lost 28 pounds and recomped their body. Kyle_Hanney followed a high protein, low calorie, anabolic diet and worked out at the gym 6-7 days a week. The gym routine included cheat days every two weeks.

The Anabolic Diet

The anabolic diet is a high protein, high fat, and low carbohydrate diet that helps in building muscle mass. This diet requires consuming 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fats when cutting and 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats when bulking. The key is to stay within the calorie limit and to hit the protein goal.

Gym Routine

The Reddit user's gym routine consisted of working out 6-7 days a week. The routine included a mix of cardio and weight training. Additionally, the user had cheat days every two weeks to splurge on their favorite foods while still maintaining their calorie limits and protein goals.

Lean Bulk

The Reddit user recently started a lean bulk routine. This required upping their calorie intake by 300. A lean bulk means increasing bodyweight at a slower rate, which can help avoid excess fat gain. The user was still consuming high protein meals but included more carbs in their anabolic diet.

Try It Yourself

If you want to try an anabolic diet and gym routine for yourself, be sure to stay within your calorie limit, hit your protein goal, and incorporate both cardio and weight training. Don't forget to reward yourself with an occasional cheat day. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to a weight loss journey.
