Introduction

Losing weight might seem like an insurmountable task, but it's achievable with the right mindset and an effective strategy. The Reddit user 'cab757' is proof that it is possible. In just two months, he managed to shed 32 lbs and went from 201 to 169 lbs by calorie counting, rollerblading, and hitting the gym. This article will delve into his journey and provide some insight into how he accomplished it.

Calorie Counting

A healthy diet is an essential component of weight loss. Cab757 managed to establish a calorie deficit, consuming 1,000 calories less than his body burned. He also cut back on carbs, focusing on grilled chicken, lean beef, eggs, and vegetables.

Rollerblading

Cardiovascular exercise, such as rollerblading, is an effective way to burn calories and fat. Cab757 would strap on his rollerblades after work for 60 to 90 minutes, five days a week. The activity improved his core and leg strength and proved to be easier on his knees than traditional leg exercises.

Gym Routine

Cab757's gym training routine wasn't too intense. He focused on alternating between arm, shoulder and chest exercises every other day, for 40 to 60 minutes. He also mixed up his routine with rollerblading, which helped him maintain his weight loss.

Conclusion

Losing weight is not easy and requires determination, focus, and consistency. Cab757's success story shows that it's possible to make progress in just two months with a reasonable regimen. You don't need to go on fad diets, try miracle supplements, or spend countless hours at the gym. Try to establish a calorie deficit, prioritize healthy eating, and incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. It's doable, but you must believe in yourself, stay consistent, and remain dedicated to your goals.
