How He Did It

Crazyfoo88 used MyFitnessPal to track his calorie intake and started with a deficit of around -700 cal per day. He then added workouts to his daily routine without adding extra calories. He quit smoking at the same time as his weight loss journey, further enhancing his journey towards a healthy lifestyle.

The Importance of Cardio

Crazyfoo88 focused on cardio exercises such as running and biking as he found that they helped him lose weight significantly. Even though upper body strength had been a weakness for him, Crazyfoo88 decided to start with light weight training at the gym after his weight loss to build some upper body muscle and definition.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting was added to his diet regimen, where he would only consume food between 12-6 pm, and make sure not to snack after that. This technique helped him reduce overall calorie intake and reduced feelings of hunger and cravings.

Conclusion

Crazyfoo88's weight loss journey is an inspiring story that shows how discipline, perseverance, and lifestyle modifications can lead to a healthier and happier life. By using calorie tracking, dieting, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, he managed to achieve remarkable results in his journey towards a healthier life.
