Introduction

A Reddit user that goes by the name RandomCDN was able to lose 75 pounds in just six months by following a doctor-monitored low-carb, low calorie, and low-fat diet. He documented his journey on Reddit, and this article will explore his progress and the diet that he followed.

The Diet

RandomCDN’s diet was high in protein, which he claimed was pricy but worth it because of the savings he made by not eating out, drinking, and buying snacks. Despite being low-carb, low-fat, and low-calorie, it was not ultra-low, and he was taking a few vitamins to supplement what his body needs. His daily protein intake was around 112 grams, and he claims there were no side effects from the high protein diet.

Progress and Concerns

RandomCDN weighed 285 pounds when he started his weight loss journey, and he lost 75 pounds in six months, bringing his weight down to 210 pounds. He still has 30 more pounds to go, but he is well on his way to achieving his goal. He expressed concern about loose skin and stretch marks as he gets closer to his goal weight of 180 pounds. Although his progress has been rapid so far, he knows it will take some time for his body to catch up.

Symbolism in the Pictures

In his post, RandomCDN shared two pictures of himself – one before, and another after his weight loss journey. He held the same stance in both pictures, but instead of a watch, he wore a Fitbit device in the current one, signifying his new lifestyle. He also ditched the sunglasses in the current picture, which represented a newfound clarity.

Conclusion

RandomCDN’s weight loss journey is an inspiration, and his dedication to the diet is commendable. His story shows that a combination of a low carb, low-fat, and low-calorie diet, along with doctor monitoring, can lead to significant weight loss. However, everyone’s bodies are different, and they should always consult a doctor before starting any specific diet or exercise program. People should try out different things and learn from them, just like RandomCDN did.
