Introduction

Losing weight can be challenging, but it's not impossible. A Reddit user, u/anonymousloser42069, posted their weight loss journey that inspired many people on the internet. Over the past 15 months, the user lost an incredible 167lbs. Through a diet regimen of strict OMAD and lazy CICO, and increased activity, they attained significant progress.

The weight loss and the approach

The user's regimen included one meal a day (OMAD) and an easy to follow low-calorie diet (lazy CICO). They also increased their physical activity by going for daily walks. Both these protocols enabled the user to get in a calorie deficit where they burnt more calories than they consumed. The user's consistent regime instilled self-discipline.

OMAD diet

OMAD diet is a form of intermittent fasting that restricts its user to a single meal a day. The meal is consumed with high-protein, low-carbohydrate food items, which keeps them feeling full and satiated while reducing overall calorie intake. OMAD reduces insulin levels and boosts metabolism.

Lazy CICO

CICO is short for calorie in, calorie out. Lazy CICO implies adhering to calorie intake requirements without overly measuring or counting how many calories you've eaten per day. Lazy CICO promotes mindful eating and helps achieve weight loss through a steady calorie deficit. It involves eating healthy food items like fruits and vegetables while cutting down on junk food and sugary treats.

Conclusion

Weight loss is a long process, and you have to be patient with it. However, following a weight loss regimen like the one followed by the Reddit user can give the desired results. Their path to success starts with one's right mindset and determination. Losing weight is a personal journey, and if one can stay disciplined, they can lose weight too. So take inspiration and try things out for yourselves and see how it goes.
