Introduction
Guitarist4Life302, a Reddit user, shared his inspiring weight loss journey from 240lbs to 170lbs in just 6 months in a post that received over 375 upvotes. He achieved this remarkable feat through crossfit, healthy eating, and daily weigh-ins.
Workout Routine
Guitarist4Life302 attributes his weight loss success to his Crossfit routine that he does 5-6 days a week with 1-2 days of recovery time. He also rides his bike to the gym instead of driving for additional exercise. Consistency was key to his success.
Diet Changes
To lose weight, Guitarist4Life302 avoided processed carbs as much as possible and ate lean meats and fats instead. He ate snacks such as lean turkey/chicken cold cuts, almonds, and avocado when he felt hungry between meals. He also used protein shakes and Quest snacks occasionally. He still managed to enjoy some carbs through Quest cookies and chips or a good cheat day occasionally.
Daily Weigh-Ins
Guitarist4Life302 weighed himself every day, which helped him stay on track and avoid eating salty or late-night foods that could lead to weight gain. While daily weigh-ins may not be suitable for everyone, having some form of accountability can help maintain healthy habits.
Avoiding Loose Skin
Despite losing over 100lbs, Guitarist4Life302 did not suffer from loose skin. He attributes this to strength training alongside his cardio and consistent weight loss. This helped him maintain a toned and fit body as he shed the pounds.
