Celebrating weight loss
Losing weight is a victory that should always be celebrated, such as the progress of Reddit user nseitphotography. In a year, he was able to lose 20 pounds and go from 340 to 320lbs. However, it wasn't an easy journey, and there were times when the scale went back up despite his best efforts.
Transition to weight training
As nseitphotography's focus shifted from cardio to heavy lifting, he noticed something strange happening. Even though the number on the scale wasn't budging, his shirt size was going down. He soon found out it was because muscle is denser than fat, so the scale wasn't an accurate measure of his progress anymore.
Routine and diet
Nseitphotography shared his weight loss routine with his Reddit followers. It began with cycling and gym workouts, primarily using weight machines, followed by walking on a treadmill with an incline. He also tracked his food intake with MyFitnessPal, staying honest with himself and staying within a caloric deficit. Currently, he is focusing on lifting as heavy as possible while staying safe.
Seasoning food and finding balance
Nseitphotography also shared his diet, which includes chicken, protein shakes, eggs, and vegetables. He emphasized the importance of seasoning food to make healthy food taste great. He is also trying to find balance in his diet by being aware of what he's eating without using an app.
Final thoughts
Nseitphotography's weight loss journey shows that it's possible to achieve great results with a combination of exercise and diet. However, the journey isn't always linear, and it's essential to find what works for oneself. Nseitphotography was able to find what worked for him, and this should inspire others to embark on their weight loss journey and find their path to a healthier lifestyle.
