Overview of the Journey

Exercise Routine

The user emphasized that a big lifestyle change was the key to her success, not her physical activity. Despite that, she typically worked out 3 times a week, mostly focusing on weightlifting and strength training. She only started incorporating cardio during her rest days to boost her weight loss progress.

Diet Plan

During the cutting period, she preferred either eating three 400 calorie meals or snacking throughout the day. She also suggested frozen grapes and rice vinegar-soaked cucumber slices as low calorie snacks.

Success Tips

The Reddit user recommends drinking water and coffee with a touch of creamer to pass the time until meals, eating small and frequent meals throughout the day, and finding substitutes for high-calorie foods. She encourages people to try things out for themselves and make a big lifestyle change to achieve their weight loss goals.
