Introduction

If you're someone who is looking to lose weight and is often told that it is impossible to achieve significant results in less than six months, then you're not alone. However, a Reddit user 'Caedes515' has proven otherwise in his recent 10-pound weight loss journey.

Caedes515's Weight Loss Journey

Throughout the four months of his weight loss journey, Caedes515 followed two nutrition and exercise guides: Kris Gethin's 12 Week Transformation Guide and Jim Stoppani's 12 Weeks to Size Guide. In the first 12 weeks, he did not engage in any cardiovascular activity but followed a nutrition plan instead.

The Challenge in The Kitchen

Caedes515 admits that the hardest challenge in his weight loss journey was the kitchen. He emphasizes the importance of watching what you eat every day, and it proved to be possible as he ate roughly the same thing every day, which made it easier to track his calorie intake.

Calories and Macros Tracking

For most of the four months, Caedes515's calorie intake was between 3100-3300 calories. He consumed 305g carbs, 310g protein, and 105g fats. During the last week, he dropped his calorie intake to 2500 calories, where he followed Stoppani's Six Weeks to Shred nutrition plan, specifically phase 3 of that plan.

Conclusion

Caedes515's 10-pound weight loss journey proves that it is possible to achieve significant results in less than six months. Following exercise and nutrition guides can make the journey easier and less overwhelming. Therefore, you too can achieve your weight loss goals by trying out these guides and watching what you eat every day.
