Introduction
A 21-year-old Reddit user known as ikickasss has achieved tremendous weight loss results over the course of 16 months. Through a combination of a keto diet and weight training, he lost over 170lbs and has shared his progress with the online community.
Diet and Exercise Plan
For the first nine months of his weight loss journey, ikickasss followed a keto diet without tracking his calories but experienced significant weight loss. He then began weight training and found it difficult to continue on a low carb diet, so he started counting his calories and consuming around 2000 calories per day. In terms of exercise, he started with walking and bodyweight exercises before progressing to weight training and running 7km on his rest days.
Dealing with Health Issues
Ikickasss started his weight loss journey with two herniated lumbar disks and sciatica, and he noted that losing weight was the major component that helped him. He also did corrective stretching to help alleviate his back pain. Interestingly enough, his back has actually gotten better since he started lifting weights.
Weightlifting Stats
Ikickasss has made significant progress in his weightlifting stats, with a 265lb squat, a 310lb deadlift, a 175lb bench press, and a 130lb overhead press. He hopes to continue cutting until he reaches <10% body fat, at which point he will begin bulking.
Conclusion
Ikickasss's weight loss journey is an incredible feat and an inspiration to others looking to lose weight. His success is a testament to the power of consistency and dedication over time. Whether you're interested in keto, weight training, or simply losing weight, the key is to find a routine that works for you and stick with it.
