Introduction
Weight loss is a journey filled with plateaus and setbacks. One Reddit user, 99probrems, shared how they went from weighing 170lbs to 130lbs in five years.
Lifting Heavy
Lifting weights is an essential part of weight loss. According to 99probrems, lifting heavy helped them achieve their goal body. They noted that those also aiming for a similar result should incorporate lifting heavy into their routine. The user even encourages everyone to try it out for themselves.
Supplementation and Proper Eating
99probrems emphasized the importance of proper supplementation and healthy eating habits. They mentioned that reducing carb intake while increasing protein intake helped achieve their desired body fat percentage. Additionally, proper supplementation, such as Swisse multivites, helped reduce overall cravings while maintaining necessary dietary needs.
Staying Strong
Weight loss journeys are not linear, and it's essential to keep a positive outlook. When asked how they stayed motivated, 99probrems said setting personal records helped keep their motivation alive. They encourage others to continue setting records and use their achievements as fuel for their journeys.
Conclusion
Weight loss is not an easy journey, but with patience, dedication, and a healthy lifestyle, it can be achieved. 99probrems' results prove that. Remember that each journey is unique, so what works for one person might not necessarily work for everyone. However, lifting heavy, proper supplementation, healthy eating habits, and motivation can go a long way in achieving success in weight loss.
