The Reddit Post

A Reddit user, congrats-on-your-success, shared two photos on the forum, showcasing her amazing before and after transformation. The first photo was taken at a company Christmas party in late 2016, where she weighed 179 lbs. The second photo was taken at a similar party two years later, where she weighed 133 lbs.

The Journey

It took the Reddit user around 18 months to shed 46 lbs. She achieved this by visiting the gym five times a week (3x cardio, 2x weights), cutting back on take-out, cooking for herself, and meal prepping on Sundays. She cooks healthy meals in the crock-pot, which last for the whole week. Soup/stew is her go-to dish, as there are countless ways to make it healthy and delicious. What's more, the user also practices intermittent fasting, where she only eats for 8 hours a day (usually noon to 8 PM) and then fasts for the remaining 16 hours.

The Diet

The Reddit user cooks healthy and hearty meals in her crock-pot. In addition, she eats take-out or goes out to dinner occasionally but tries to eat only half of what she orders. Meal prepping and intermittent fasting are her two most effective and sustainable methods of weight loss. The user knows that patiences and perseverance are the keys, and she eliminated junk foods and stayed away from processed meats and fatty sauces.

The Results

The Reddit user admits that the road to weight loss was not always smooth. She had a few slip-ups during the week and suffered seven months of frustrating plateau along the way. However, she did not give up and kept up with the intermittent fasting and meal prep process. And guess what? It worked like magic! She's now only eight pounds away from her goal weight of 125 pounds. Her journey is a true testament to the power of consistency, hard work, and healthy eating.

Try It Yourself!

If you're looking to start losing weight, consider following the footsteps of this Reddit user. The best way to achieve your fitness goals is to find a plan that suits you and your lifestyle. If meal prepping and intermittent fasting sound doable, give them a try! Remember to always embrace the journey, and don't give up even when it seems like you aren't making any progress. You've got this!
