Introduction
Cannibal818, a 24-year-old man, documented his impressive 146lbs weight journey on a Reddit thread. In just 8 months, he went from 345lbs to 199lbs and dropped 10 pants sizes. Through changing his diet to healthy, natural foods and committing to a regular exercise routine, he transformed his life and we can learn from his journey.
Diet Changes
The first thing Cannibal818 did was decrease his calorie intake from a staggering 4,000 - 5,000 calories per day to 1600 - 1,800 calories per day. He also eliminated junk food, fast food, and soda from his diet, and focused on eating lots of fruits, vegetables, chicken, beans, nuts, whole grains, yogurt, and fish. When he craved juice, he made all-natural juice from carrots, apples, and oranges.
Exercise Routine
Along with cutting calories and changing his diet, Cannibal818 consistently exercised. He jogged for a few miles every day, lifted weights every other day (gradually increasing weight), hiked, and did stationary bike workouts. He also integrated pushups, pullups, squats, jump rope, and the like into his workouts for further weight loss.
Positive Results
After 8 months of dedication to his health, Cannibal818 successfully lost 146lbs and went from 3XL clothes to L clothes, and from 44 pants to 34 pants. His determination serves as an inspiration for us all to pursue our own health goals.
Conclusion
Changing one's eating habits and exercise routine takes work and commitment. Cannibal818's journey, along with his takeaway to keep pushing along even when the changes seem impossible, is an important reminder that fitness goals are achievable. By gradually adjusting one's diet and exercise regimen, anyone can make the positive changes that they seek in their lives.
