Introduction
OshiSeven, a 28-year-old male, lost 50lbs in a year with his girlfriend’s help. He shared his journey on Reddit, detailing how he achieved his weight loss and overcame his busy schedule.
Diet was key
OshiSeven’s girlfriend introduced him to calorie counting and a vegetable-rich diet, and his weight loss was almost entirely due to diet changes, with little exercise involved. Cutting back on pizza helped him stick to his calorie goal, and vegetables helped him feel full while reducing his overall calorie intake.
Excuses and fitness
OshiSeven wished he could exercise more but found it difficult to fit exercise into his busy schedule. He went to the gym only once a week for an hour, but he acknowledged that the lack of exercise was due to his busy life and not a lack of time. Other Reddit users suggested quick and easy exercise options, like 14-minute daily workouts and cutting back on TV and video games.
Mental hurdles
While some people suggested tips for working out or managing diet, others empathized with OshiSeven’s struggles. One commenter expressed difficulty with calorie counting, while another found a dislike for exercising. OshiSeven encouraged those who were struggling, suggesting that people should start by taking small steps and avoiding being discouraged by short-term failures.
Conclusion
OshiSeven’s journey shows that significant weight loss is possible through diet changes, even without extensive exercise. His Reddit post inspired others to share their own struggles and success stories. For those struggling with weight loss, OshiSeven encourages starting small and thinking of food as a treat rather than a daily staple.
