By | May 30, 2019

Posting before and after images to a weight loss transformation group on Reddit, the man, known as user ‘standtallnofall’, revealed he was 32, 5’10” and weighed 19 stone three pounds when he started. But after following a “strict” diet plan and exercise regime, he lost an impressive six stone and eight pounds. Fellow Reddit users were keen to know how he did it, and asked him for his tips on the forum. He wrote: “Strict low-carb diet (1,200-1,500 calories) and 60-90 mins of cardio 5-7 times a week. Plus I’m a teacher so I’m constantly moving at work.

“Some cheat days but not many and when I did cheat I’d budget for it.”

However, he said he “wouldn’t recommend” the plan entirely, as eating so little has had some side effects.

He continued: “My body has been deficient of precious vitamins and minerals every day for months.

“There are some side effects for being that deprived. They’ll go away after I improve my diet for awhile and give my body what it needs but that’s been a struggle.”

Explaining how he is now adjusting his plan, he wrote: “I need to be eating a lot more.”

Another user advised he switched to weight lifting from cardio and increase his protein intake.

He agreed, and confirmed: “That’s the transition I’m beginning to make.”
