Article by Madeleine Smith
Rayy166, a 28-year-old male with 6'3 height, went through a remarkable weight loss journey shedding off 18lbs in just 13 weeks. He attributes this success to his rigorous routine of Keto Diet and Strength Training, without the inclusion of any cardio exercises.
The Journey
Rayy166 started his journey at 232lbs and aimed to reduce it to 214lbs. His significant weight loss objective demanded a consistent exercise and diet routine. He took a keto diet, which heavily focused on low carb, high-fat foods that put his body into a state of ketosis - a metabolic state where ketones produced in the liver are used for energy instead of carbs.
Keto and Strength Training
Rayy166's exercise routine included six days a week of strength training exercises to preserve muscle mass while shedding off fats. He avoided cardio exercises as he believed that they were not a necessary inclusion in his weight loss plans.
Explaining the Success
Keto diets have proved to be effective for weight loss as the body burns more fats due to the lack of carbohydrates, and strength training has a similar effect by preserving muscle mass absorption. This combination worked miracles for Rayy166 and significantly reduced his body fat percentage.
User Tips
If you plan to embark on a fitness journey as Rayy166 did, it is important to understand that different exercise regimes work for different people. Rayy166 found success through his combination of keto and strength training but reminds people to choose a routine that suits their individual needs. It is important to speak to your doctor before engaging in any weight loss routines.
