Introduction
Chilled_Beverage, a 46-year-old man and Reddit user, was initially skeptical about whether he could lose weight in his mid-40s. However, he managed to lose an incredible 115 pounds in just 11 months through smart diet and exercise choices, and he is now happier and healthier than ever.
The Diet
Chilled_Beverage's weight loss journey was fueled by a healthy, nutrient-rich diet that emphasized raw and steamed vegetables, raw fruit, and protein from roasted chicken or grilled fish. He limited his carb intake to whole grains, but also allowed himself one 12-ounce craft beer (or sometimes a 22-ounce beer) a day as a treat.
The Exercise
In addition to his healthy diet, Chilled_Beverage also worked out regularly to lose weight. He often went running, and said that becoming a middle-of-the-pack runner had been a huge confidence boost for him. He also incorporated other forms of exercise, such as strength training and yoga.
The Mentality
Chilled_Beverage's weight loss journey wasn't just about diet and exercise; it was also about changing his mentality. He gave up a thirty-year smoking habit a few years ago, which he credits as the turning point for his health. He also tracked his weight loss progress weekly, which motivated him to keep going.
Conclusion
Chilled_Beverage's story is an inspiration for anyone who thinks they're too old to get healthier. With the right diet, exercise, and mentality, anyone can lose weight and become happier and healthier. So why not try it out for yourself?
