Introduction

Reddit user Madoc_Labingi documented his weight loss journey through a post revealing his 70-pound weight loss over an unspecified period of time. His post garnered 39 upvotes and several comments from people asking for his ‘secrets’.

No Secrets Here

Madoc_Labingi admitted that there were no secrets to his weight loss – he simply ate at a caloric deficit. He claims that he did not do any cardio, but he continued lifting weights to maintain his muscle mass.

Caloric Deficit

When asked about the caloric deficit Madoc_Labingi applied to his diet, he said that he ate around 1800-2300 calories per day. However, he admitted that on some days, he did not get to that amount due to meal swipes at school.

Lose Skin Question

In response to a question about loose skin, Madoc_Labingi stated that he did not have a problem with it, at least not yet, and his progress pictures seemed consistent with his statement.

Conclusion

Madoc_Labingi's weight loss journey is a testament to the effectiveness of a caloric deficit in weight loss. While everyone's body is different, eating fewer calories than what is needed to maintain your weight is generally a reliable way to lose weight. It is also essential to keep in mind that sustainable weight loss requires a long-term commitment to lifestyle changes, including exercise and healthy eating habits, rather than simply starving oneself.
