Introduction
Biologistics, a 24-year-old male, has lost 34 lbs in 3.3 months. Going from 212 lbs to 178 lbs, he shared his progress on Reddit and asked for advice on what to do next. This article will summarize the post and provide scientific tips for people who have achieved their weight loss goals.
Maintain first, don't rush
After a massive weight loss, the first step is to maintain the current weight. Biologistics mentioned that he's not sure whether to keep cutting or bulk up. He received some good advice from a fellow Reddit user named antariusz. Instead of cutting more, he should try to maintain his current weight, which is an achievement on its own. During this phase, it is vital to train oneself on how much to eat to maintain the weight.
Try cheat meals and cut down cardio
If a person wants to add some extra calories, they can introduce some cheat meals into their diet two days a week. Also, they can cut the cardio sessions down by half while keeping the workout intensity the same as before. These simple changes can add an extra 2000 calories or so a week, leading to a slower weight loss process of about 10 lbs a month.
Quality over quantity
Biologistics emphasizes that it's not the quantity of food he consumed that mattered. Instead, it was the quality of food that was essential. He did not starve himself; instead, he tried to make healthier choices. Also, he made sure not to go grocery shopping when hungry, and always after a workout to stay motivated to buy healthy foods.
Conclusion
Losing weight requires significant effort and discipline, and maintaining a weight is also a challenge. Through his story, Biologistics reminds us that maintaining a weight loss goal is achievement enough. This post and his experience offer valuable tips on how to maintain the weight and make healthier choices. However, experimenting with different approaches should be the norm, not the exception.
