How Did He Do It?

RDT21074 shared that he started with a 1,000 calorie deficit and tracked his calories using a TDEE calculator. His number one tool was a chart that showed an estimation of calories burned based on weight when walking. He increased his daily steps to 5-7 miles and ate around 2100 calories. He also started lifting weights, which gave his body some shape.

What Did He Eat?

He ate food that was satiating but low in calories, such as sandwiches with turkey, cheese, and low-cal buns. He waited until dinner to eat what he wanted in moderation. Drinking a lot of water and eating slower helped him regulate his appetite.

Did He Have Any Loose Skin?

RDT21074 had a bit of loose skin on his stomach, thighs, and where his arm meets his armpit. However, he said that hitting chest workouts reduced the amount of loose skin and shaped his chest up a bit.

Conclusion

RDT21074 emphasized the importance of consistency and doing things that you can stick to in the long run. He also suggested starting small and gradually increasing daily activity and caloric deficits. His weight loss journey is a testament to the fact that with dedication, discipline, and a good strategy, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals.
