Introduction

FrosteuxST, a 28-year-old man on Reddit, posted about his impressive weight loss journey from 390 to 265 pounds over 8 months.

Macro management

FrosteuxST followed a 50% deficit diet with 25g carbohydrates, 120g protein, and 130g fat. He never felt hungry, even with a lower calorie diet, as he focused on eating more fat, like butter and cheese, which helps to make one feel fuller and eat fewer calories. His diet change played a crucial role in his weight loss journey.

Exercise routine

FrosteuxST exercised regularly by doing 5k runs 3-5 times a week and lifting using the SL 5×5 program. HIIT is another exercise he suggested doing for those limited by time, like those with time-restricted schedules. HIIT is scientifically proven to be one of the best workout programs that can be done on a limited time schedule.

Tips on weight loss success

FrosteuxST suggests taking a look at one's diet to incorporate more fat-dense foods, in order to feel fuller and eat less. Additionally, consider employing a workout routine even if it's only for a few times a week. High-intensity interval training is the best cardio workout to achieve the best results in a time-limited scenario. Lastly, keep up with positive thinking!

Conclusion

While the weight loss journey FrosteuxST embarked on is challenging, there are many resources at one's disposal, such as his experience on Reddit. It is essential to find the right workout program, diet, and exercise routine that works best for each individual. Sometimes, all it takes is the first step to embark on the journey to achieving one's weight loss goals.
