Introduction
Reddit user fahadfreid shares their weight loss journey, which began after starting college and making healthier choices. In just three months, they lost 10kg and gained muscle.
Diet Changes
Fahadfreid started making healthier food choices immediately after starting college. This change led to initial weight loss, but they soon hit a plateau. To break through, they began counting calories and tracking their macros. Protein intake was increased so that muscles could recover properly. Meal prepping became a vital part of their success, as it allowed for control over portion sizes and ensured that healthy meals were readily available.
Workout Routine
Fahadfreid's workout routine was fluid, with changes made over the course of the three months. Currently, they aim for 6 days of exercise a week, incorporating weightlifting and cardio. The weightlifting routine consists of chest/triceps, shoulder, and back days. Cardio is done daily, with adjustments made depending on how the body feels. While legs were neglected at first, fahadfreid intends to incorporate them once they build more endurance from cardio.
Support System
A supportive family, including a dietitian mother, was crucial to fahadfreid's success. Additionally, connecting with other fitness enthusiasts online, including through Reddit, helped provide motivation and valuable advice. Encouragement and validation from others helped keep fahadfreid on track.
