Introduction

A Reddit user documented her two-month journey to lose weight with diet and exercise in her post. She revealed what she did and how it helped her lose eight pounds in two months.

Dietary changes

The user ate 1200 calories a day, which she tracked on MyFitnessPal. She also saved most of her carbs for the end of the day to avoid getting hungry. For breakfast, she had scrambled eggs with avocado, spinach, and salsa. For lunch, she had plain Greek yogurt and homemade almond butter. For dinner, she had chicken or tuna with a salad, vegetables, and avocado. And for her nighttime snack, she chose healthy carbs like oatmeal, Greek yogurt with honey or cheese and crackers.

Fitness routine

The user went to the gym 5-6 times a week to do cardio and weightlifting. She used the stair climber for intervals or medium-intensity pace for an hour. She pushed herself to see how long and hard she could go. She didn't follow any strict weightlifting plan but concentrated on cardio exercises to burn calories.

Additional Tips

The user suggested that a food scale helped her measure how much she consumed. It boosted precision and prevented her from breaking her rules. She also drank adequate plain water and herbal tea throughout the day and chewed gum whenever she was not eating or drinking.

Conclusion

This was a successful attempt by the Reddit user to lose weight with a strict diet and exercise regime. By sharing her journey, she inspired others to achieve their fitness goals too. However, before starting any diet or fitness routine, it is advisable to consult a professional expert.
