M/30/6'1" Man Loses 21Lbs with Weightlifting, Running, Dieting, and Monitoring Alcohol
Discover how a man's year-long fitness journey led to 21lbs of weight loss through exercise and calorie limitation
Article by Madeleine Smith
LukasPukas documents his weight loss journey on Reddit, revealing how he successfully lost 21lbs over the course of eight months. Through weightlifting, half-marathon training, alcohol consumption monitoring, better dieting, a haircut, and a tan, he achieved his weight loss goals and is still set on losing 4 more pounds to reach his desired weight of 185lbs.
In a discussion thread, LukasPukas shares his diet and workout routine to answer questions from fellow Reddit users. He maintains a caloric intake of around 2000 calories a day, relying heavily on high protein staples like cottage cheese and low sugar protein bars. He also only eats a ton of food on days he lifts when his body is hungry.
LukasPukas started with the LIIFT4 program on the BeachBody app, lifting 2-3 times a week. Now, he mostly uses pushups and chin-ups for his 1-time weekly lifting session. For running, he runs on average 15-20 miles a week, which helps him lose roughly a pound of weight a week. He typically eats a protein bar for breakfast, a small leftover container for lunch, before having a big dinner after a workout.
LukasPukas admits he enjoys alcohol, and realizes he could lose more weight if he cuts down further. But, he doesn't want to deprive himself of the things he loves. He suggests finding balance while losing weight instead of cutting out everything, noting that even with restrictions, he still ate some Christmas cookies during the holidays.
LukasPukas' story showcases how a combination of exercise and calorie limitation can lead to successful weight loss. His journey can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for others to start exploring their own fitness journeys. With the right mindset, diet, and exercise routine, losing weight can be a manageable process that doesn't require completely giving up the things you love.
