Introduction

Losing weight can be a daunting task. With so many diets, exercise routines, and weight loss supplements available, it can be difficult to choose the right method. A Reddit user, who wishes to remain anonymous, decided to share their experience in losing 45 pounds without lifting weights. Through trial and error, this individual discovered what worked for them and their body.

The Struggle

At 225 pounds, this Reddit user felt uncomfortable in their own skin. They tried multiple diets, such as keto and intermittent fasting, but found them too restrictive. They also tried weightlifting, but found it painful and unsustainable. It wasn't until they discovered a few simple lifestyle changes that they were finally able to lose weight effectively.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting worked for this user, but not in the way they expected. They didn't follow a strict fasting schedule, but instead listened to their body and ate when they were hungry. They also cut out snacking and ate bigger meals during the day. This way, they were still eating the same amount of food, but with fewer snacks in between meals.

The Power of Walking

This user found that walking was an effective way to burn calories without putting unnecessary strain on their body. They started with short walks and worked their way up to longer walks, eventually reaching 10,000 steps a day. Walking not only helped them lose weight, but also improved their mental health and overall well-being.

Finding What Works

This Reddit user reiterates that weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. It's important to find a routine and diet that works for your body and lifestyle. Their journey may not be the answer for everyone, but it's an example of how simple lifestyle changes can lead to big results. If you're struggling with weight loss, it's worth trying different methods until you find what works best for you.
