Introduction
Many people around the world struggle with their weight, but some find a way to overcome it. One such person is Reddit user ShrinkingHovercat, who documented their weight loss journey online. This article explores their experience and how they achieved their goals with no gimmicks.
The Journey
ShrinkingHovercat's journey began when they decided to try the ketogenic diet, also known as keto. The diet involves consuming high amounts of fat, moderate amounts of protein, and low carbohydrates. The science behind this approach is that the body starts burning fat for fuel instead of glucose, leading to weight loss.
Progress
ShrinkingHovercat managed to lose 95 pounds over the course of 1.5 years. They started with a 40% calorie deficit and monitored their calorie count at around 1400 calories a day for a while. After a few months, they stopped tracking and wanted to make weight loss a lifestyle rather than a diet. The weight still dropped, but they hit a plateau in December and decided to start tracking again.
The Results
ShrinkingHovercat’s results speak for themselves. They posted pictures showing their transformation from 252 pounds to just 157 pounds. A notable change is their waistline which went from a 36-inch measurement to 27-inches only. It’s amazing to note that ShrinkingHovercat achieved this weight loss goal without using corsets or engaging in intense exercises. This just goes to show the benefit of a healthy eating lifestyle.
Conclusion
ShrinkingHovercat’s weight loss journey inspired many people who followed their success online. With their body transformation, they left a message of persistence and consistency that is beneficial in achieving any goal. Although this Reddit user’s journey might not work for everyone, it is worth trying out new, healthy habits to achieve similar results.
