One Reddit user, eternalrefuge86, recently shared their inspiring weight loss journey on the platform. Over the course of 7 months, they went from weighing 215 lbs to 185 lbs, a total loss of 30 lbs. While they had previously weighed 280 lbs, this was the first significant weight loss they had achieved.

Diet Changes

As part of their weight loss journey, eternalrefuge86 made some significant changes to their diet. They aimed to stick to a high protein, moderate carb, and low-fat diet that involved consuming 2000-2300 calories per day while cutting with 180-200 mg of protein. This diet helped them to achieve a caloric deficit, which is important when losing weight.

Exercise Routine

In addition to changing their diet, eternalrefuge86 also started doing cardio and added in weights 7 months ago.
