Introduction

For years, losing weight seemed like an impossible task for one Reddit user, who had struggled with their weight since childhood. Despite trying many diets and approaches, the user couldn't seem to shed the pounds - until they stopped making their weight into a 'problem'.

The Juice Is Loose

In March, the Reddit user tried a juice cleanse and water fast - and found they loved the way they felt without solid foods. They continued with a regime of fasts and found their preferred eating pattern: one meal every three days. The result? Weight loss, without any sense of struggle or sacrifice.

Awareness is Key

Rather than depriving themselves of certain foods, the user became mindful of how their body responded to different meals. They noticed that some foods left them feeling sluggish or bloated, while others made them feel light and energised. This awareness led to sustained changes in their eating habits.

Non-Judgmental Curiosity

By becoming curious about their weight, rather than critical, the user found they no longer felt the same pressure to lose weight - and yet, the pounds dropped away. Losing 100lbs was simply a side-effect of feeling good in their own skin.

Conclusion

This Reddit user's weight loss journey is a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight management. Rather than following a strict diet or punishing themselves with exercise, the key to success lies in tuning in to your own body and becoming curious about its needs. By doing so, it's possible to lose weight without ever feeling like you're 'on a diet'.
