Introduction

Losing weight can be a daunting task, but starting the journey is often the hardest part. Reddit user fausto240 shared their weight loss journey from 355lbs to 330lbs.

Support from Other Users

In the comments section, other Reddit users shared their weight loss journeys and provided tips and encouragement for fausto240. Suggestions included trying the keto diet, making the decision to start now and not later, and tracking everything you eat using apps like MyFitnessPal.

Balanced Approach to Diet

One user suggested tracking calories and aiming to eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Another recommendation was to stick to your calorie allotment religiously, even if it's hard at first. Liquid calories should be avoided while water is highly recommended, as it fills you up and does not contain unnecessary calories.

Importance of Exercise

Scheduling at least one hour of exercise per day, whether it be a sport, running, or weight training, was highly recommended by multiple users. Building muscle through weight training is especially beneficial, as it helps in burning more calories even when not actively exercising. For those who are unfamiliar with proper exercise form, personal training sessions or video series like P90X may be a helpful starting point.

Conclusion

Starting a weight loss journey can be intimidating, but fausto240 and other reddit users remind us that we are not alone. By creating a balanced approach to our diet and staying committed to exercise routines, progress is made possible. We must not stop and always remember that the key to success is consistency, discipline and patience.
