Introduction
Losing weight is a journey that can have ups and downs. For Reddit user Groggiebear (M/22/5'5''), his journey began in April 2021 with the goal of losing weight to reach 150lbs. A starting weight of 200lbs was an obstacle he had to conquer to achieve his desired weight. This article examines how he was able to lose 25lbs in 3 months, half of his target goal.
Using Myfitnesspal App To Count Calories
Groggiebear used Myfitnesspal, a free food journal app that tracks a user's daily calorie intake. Based on his height, activity level, and weight loss goals, the app recommended a daily net calorie intake of 1500 calories. To stay within his calorie goal, he monitored his food intake and made healthier food choices.
Cardio As A Weight Loss Tool
Groggiebear engaged in cardio exercises, such as stationary biking, elliptical, treadmill or racquetball, for at least 60 minutes, five times a week. He found that cardio was an effective way to burn calories, and it also allowed him to enjoy the foods he loved while still maintaining a calorie deficit.
Cutting Back On Drinking And Unhealthy Foods
Groggiebear reduced his alcohol intake from 20-25 drinks per week to about 4-5 per week. He also eliminated soda from his diet and limited greasy, fatty foods. He ate more filling foods but made sure to stay within his calorie goal. The biggest change he made was eating breakfast, something he never did before. Eating a simple meal like an apple made him feel full by lunchtime and less inclined to overeat.
Conclusion: Anyone Can Do It
Groggiebear's weight loss journey is a testament to the power of a calorie deficit and exercise. Anyone can lose weight with the right mindset and tools, such asMyfitnesspal app for calorie tracking or any physical activity that gets the body moving. Finally, it is important to note that the journey may not be smooth, and adjustments may need to be made along the way, but as with Groggiebear, the end result is well worth it.
