One Man's Journey to Losing 1 Pound: M/24/6'0 From 185Lbs to 184Lbs in 5 Months

Introduction

Secureyourfate, a Reddit user, shared his weight loss journey in a post titled, 'M/24/6'0 [185lbs >184lbs] September 2014 to January 2015,' which received 96 upvotes and some positive comments. In this post, he detailed his exercise routine and diet and how he lost 1 pound in 5 months.

Exercise Routine

Secureyourfate mentioned that he did a push/pull/leg routine with 5 sets of 5 reps as heavy as he could push himself. He worked out six days a week and had one rest day. On Friday, he focused on compound lifts as much as possible, including compound, bodyweight, free weights, and machines. After every workout, he did about 20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill.

Diet

Secureyourfate followed a high-fat, high-protein, and low-carb diet. He did not count calories or macros but ate until he felt full. For breakfast, he ate 3-5 whole eggs cooked in coconut oil, with 3-4 slices of bacon and a cup of coffee blended with coconut oil, butter, and stevia. Lunch usually comprised cheese, meat, and maybe some almond butter. Dinner usually included some type of meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) with a bit of green vegetables cooked in butter or coconut oil.

Supplements

Secureyourfate took daily multivitamins, probiotics, a pre-workout before lifting, and 1 scoop of Isopure protein powder after lifting.

Conclusion

Secureyourfate lost only 1 pound in 5 months, which may seem little. However, he continued to work out and focused on his diet, and perhaps his weight loss was slower but steady. This journey shows that it is essential to create a routine and stick to it, find what works for you, and stay consistent. It is not about losing weight quickly but making lifestyle changes that can lead to long-term health benefits.
