How I Lost 100 Pounds in 7 Months
Reddit user Tomes2789 achieved a remarkable feat of losing 100 lbs in just 7 months. Through his reddit post and the comments that followed, we can see how he achieved this. Tomes2789 limited his calorie intake to between 1000-1200 calories a day, a number suggested by his weight loss clinic. He did not indicate any particular exercise routine - he appears to have mainly controlled his weight through his diet.
The Dangers of Calorie Restrictions
While Tomes2789's weight loss success is admirable, nutritionists point out that a calorie-controlled diet with such a low count can have adverse effects on the body. This level of calorie intake could lead to malnourishment and nutritional deficiencies. So anyone looking to lose weight rapidly should do so with a balanced exercise and diet routine.
The Importance of Upkeeping the Weight
As Tomes2789 points out, he has never been this thin his entire life. That means that his body is not used to the caloric intake required to maintain his new weight. This is a challenge that everyone should be aware of when trying to maintain their weight. One should gradually increase calories and eat moderately to ensure the new weight is maintained while the body adjusts.
A Better Way to Lose Weight Healthily
Followers of Tomes2789's post pointed out that upping his calorie intake to at least 1300-1400 would be better to provide the proper nutrition his body needs to operate optimally. For best success in losing weight, overweight or obese persons should seek healthy ways to reach their weight loss goals. This could include gradually increasing calories to the recommended 2000, combining a nutritious diet with a regular exercise routine, and seeking the advice of a professional nutritionist or personal trainer.
Conclusion
Losing 100lbs in 7 months is a significant achievement for Tomes2789, but we now know that it is best to do so healthily, through a balanced diet and exercise routine. A nutrient-rich diet and regular exercise will lead to being healthy, fit, and positive. Follow a healthy routine to reach weight loss goals, and the body will thank you in the long run.
