The Journey to Weight Loss

LotusofSin, a Reddit user, weighed 240lbs and decided it was time to make a change. He primarily used intermittent fasting (IF) and took 12 months to lose 90lbs.

The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting

LotusofSin's primary tactic was IF, where he ate only one meal a day from 12-4 pm. Studies have shown that IF can help with weight loss, and some research suggests it can also improve metabolic health and reduce inflammation in the body.

An Active Lifestyle

In addition to IF, LotusofSin said he walked about 15 miles a week at his job and now walks up to 50 miles a week at his current job. Although he plans to incorporate more exercise, he is happy with where he is for now.

Maintaining Weight Loss

One year later, LotusofSin has maintained his weight loss. It can be challenging to maintain weight loss, but it is possible by continuing healthy habits such as consistent physical activity and mindful eating.

Encouragement for Others

LotusofSin's weight loss journey is an inspiration for anyone trying to lose weight. It's crucial to find tactics that work for your lifestyle, but with dedication and patience, weight loss goals can be achieved. Remember that weight loss is a journey, and progress should be celebrated at every step along the way.
