How I Lost 48 lbs in 8 Weeks
Hey guys, I get a few private messages every now and then asking about how I lost 48 lbs in 8 weeks. So⌠Iâm gonna finally share my secretsâşď¸
I know some people prefer simply fasting and some people canât fast at all, and thatâs okay. Because the majority of the weight loss calculation is simply calories in vs calories out. But⌠intermittent fasting kinda gives this little trick a boost. So⌠if you donât know what intermittent fasting is Iâll give you a quick explaination, but I recommend you go to YouTube and do some research on it as itâs much more complicated and interesting than I can make it.
So, intermittent fasting is when you fast for a vast period of the day (including sleeping hours). So, due to work Iâd usually fast for 18-23 hours a day. Itâs really finding what works for you. Itâs best to eat in the afternoon/evening and skip breakfast entirely. Iâm not going to explain it all here because the post would become too long. But seriously, YouTube/google it or message meâşď¸
2.At Least 10,000 Steps Per Day!
Exercise is always obvious, but when youâre trying to make sure people arenât worrying over you, itâs important to be discreet. I did at least 10,000 steps per day. Sometimes as many as 50,000. But I think I averaged out at around 18,000 per day including gun visits.
Get a Fitbit if you can! Theyâre life savers.
3.Record EVERYTHING you eat!
Intermittent fasting makes it a lot easier to track everything. Mainly because the shorter the eating period the less you can eat and the less there is to record and calculate. Make sure you add up all your calories, which leads me on to my next topic.
4.Weekly, not daily calorie goals!
Make a weekly calorie goal. Mine was 7000 to start with, meaning if I wanted to make it daily then I could make it 1000 a day. But I didnât. I kept it weekly. This way, if I binged I knew exactly where I was and what I had to either burn off or sacrifice as a result of a binge.
After 4 weeks on 7000 I dropped to 4000 for two weeks and then back to 7000 for two weeks and upped my exercise.
Since losing 48 lbs in 8 weeks I have taken a break from weight loss. Yes you will binge. Yes you may gain a little back (4 lbs for me, which Iâve already gotten rid of again). Yes, you may become a little lazy and this will panic you. But just trust your body. You canât go on losing that much weight so quickly for a long period of time. Iâve taken too long of a break but Iâm back and more excited than ever!
6.Drink water like itâs the only thing thatâs available to drink.
Drink WATER! Only water. Nothing else. Nothing. I mean it. Like. If you want cereal, itâs gotta be dry. No milk, no juice, no soda, no diet sodas. Just water. Not even gravy or anything. Have oats with water. Poach eggs instead of scramble. Water! Iâd have at least 3.5 litres a day, sometimes more. 3 litres of that being drinking water and the rest in cooking. Trust me, water is your best friend. You canât burn fat if youâre dehydrated.
7.Weigh yourself whenever you want!
I kept getting told, âstop weighing yourself everydayâ. âStop this and stop thatâ. But honestly itâs what kept me going. There were 2 days in those 8 weeks that I got on the scale and weighed more than I had the day before. But each time, the next day, I wouldâve lost double what I expected. Trust me! Weight yourself whenever the damn well you want!
I havenât yet reached my UGW so I havenât yet had my reward and itâs a personal thing so Iâve decided to keep it to myselfâşď¸ but Iâm incredibly excited and you need to have a goal in mind and a reward for reaching that goal that truly inspires you!
Thatâs all I have for now. But any questions! Feel free to message me!
I love you all, dearly. â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
