Introduction
Mr_SneakyTV, a 28-year-old male with a height of 5’11”, shares his weight loss journey on Reddit. He achieved a 45lb weight loss in 5 months by switching to drinking water and eating smaller portions more frequently. Let’s find out how he did it!
The Strategy
Mr_SneakyTV drank a lot of water throughout the day and ate low calorie, healthy items such as eggs, fruit, nuts, and lean meat. When he craved unhealthy food, he ate less of other items that day. He stopped eating out of boredom by switching to drinking water when he was bored. He only ate when he was truly hungry.
Workout Routine
Surprisingly, Mr_SneakyTV did not have a gym routine. He walked the half-mile track at work a few times a week, played basketball in high school, and played hockey for fun when he was younger. Due to a groin strain, he had to recover fully before working out again. He slowly worked on his groin recovery through 15 minutes of foam rolling and a few medicine ball exercises to help with pain.
Recommendations
Now that Mr_SneakyTV feels better and has achieved his weight loss goals, he plans to start going to the gym. He did not like gyms before but is willing now. He asks for recommendations from other Reddit users and received advice on StrongLifts 5x5. Mr_SneakyTV proves that weight loss can be achieved by making lifestyle changes and does not necessarily require a strict gym routine.
Conclusion
By following a simple strategy of drinking water and eating smaller, healthier portions more frequently, Mr_SneakyTV was able to achieve a 45lb weight loss in 5 months. He did not follow a strict gym routine and instead focused on walking and playing sports. Mr_SneakyTV encourages others to try out different things for themselves and find out what works best for them.
