Introduction

Losing weight is a challenging task that takes time, patience, and commitment. This is what the Reddit user 'AssumptionPresent845' demonstrated through their 10-month journey from 291 lbs (132 kg) to 158 lbs (72 kg). Their journey motivated many Reddit users to ask questions and learn about the techniques used to shed the extra pounds.

Techniques Used

AssumptionPresent845 used a combination of intermittent fasting and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) cardio to achieve their goal. They fasted for three days a week and performed 30 to 45 minutes of HIIT cardio four days a week. They maintained a caloric deficit of 400 calories on non-fasting days and increased their water intake to manage their hunger cravings.

Managing Stress

AssumptionPresent845 also learned the importance of managing stress during their weight loss journey. They found meditation and spending more time in nature beneficial for their mental health. They also figured out how to separate personal life from college life, resulting in a less stressful life and easy multitasking.

Caloric Intake

AssumptionPresent845 used to eat between 300 to 500 fewer calories than their maintenance calories, which was around 2600. They also mentioned that they used calorie tracking apps to keep an eye on their food intake.

Conclusion

AssumptionPresent845's transformation is inspiring and demonstrates the effectiveness of intermittent fasting and HIIT cardio for weight loss. However, everyone's body is different, and what works for one person might not work for the other. Hence, it is essential to try out different techniques and find what works the best for one's body. It takes time, effort, and commitment to lose weight, but it is possible with the right approach and mindset.
