Introduction

Slimming down can be achieved through different methods. For some, routine exercises are their surest path to weight loss. For others, a specific diet approach makes the difference. Reddit user, MiniF, lost 70lbs just by eating right. This article will elaborate on how she accomplished her transformation.

Meal Planning

MiniF shared that her diet routine contains three proper meals, and she avoids grab-and-go options. She also increased her fruit and vegetable intake, and cooks most of her meals from scratch, avoiding jars of pasta sauces and pizzas.

Slimming World Group

MiniF is a member of Slimming World, an Ireland-based weight-loss support service. She enjoys the guidance on sensible eating that the program provides, and shared that every meal must contain a third portion of fruits and veggies. While the program doesn’t involve calorie counting or weight measurement, it’s significant in encouraging members to pick healthier food options.

Setting Realistic Goals

MiniF said that she avoided getting into obsessive tracking of calories; instead, she approached weight loss with a practical mindset. While setting goals, she tried to appreciate the little milestones that arose along the way, even falling off the wagon on some days. She advised that beating oneself up after eating one too many candies or chips can derail the weight loss journey.

The Suggestion of Exercise

While exercising is fundamental for a healthy body and mind, MiniF claimed she didn't exercise during her weight loss journey. Although her weight dropped to 121lbs, she prefers toning up, especially her belly and arms. MiniF finds it essential to practice some form of activity and suggested that despite the power of good dietary choices, one can achieve even more significant weight loss results by incorporating exercise into the equation.
