Introduction
Losing weight is a challenging journey for anyone. But when you successfully lose 90lbs in just 14 months, it's an achievement that deserves to be celebrated. In this post, we'll explore the weight loss journey of a Reddit user named MiColer, who managed to do just that. She shares her secrets to success - from eating well to incorporating strength training to having the right mindset.
Diet changes for better nutrition
For MiColer, it all started with eating differently while learning about how food fuels almost every cell in the body. She focused on giving her body the proper nutrition and building blocks it needs. She stumbled upon portions and moderation and changed her goal from being skinny to being as strong and fast as she wanted. She eats very few carbs except for fruit and tries to minimize anything fried. Other than that, she eats in moderation and thinks about where the food goes after it leaves her tongue.
Incorporating strength training
MiColer started to incorporate a lot of strength training into her exercise regime. She focused on feeling how strong she was and how far she could go. She hated running so she switched between rowing, biking, arc trainer, and kettlebell swings for cardio. And she lifted heavy weights, making sure her form was superb before going after heavier weight. This consistency and perseverance have helped her transform her body.
Having the right mindset
It's important to have the right mindset when embarking on a weight loss journey. For MiColer, she realized early on that she didn't want to look like anyone else because she can't. Nor did she want to be. She just wanted to keep her body challenges and well-fueled. This focus helps her to keep going even when the scale plateaus or when she's not seeing results in the mirror. It's a reminder that she has already made a significant difference.
Conclusion
MiColer's weight loss journey is an inspiring example of how achieving significant weight loss is possible with hard work and dedication. Incorporating a healthy diet, strength training, and having the right mindset were key components to her success. Everyone's journey is unique, but by trying out a few of these tips, you too can start on the path to a healthier and happier life.
