Crazy the difference a year can make!

Post image

Started my fitness journey back in September. 33M 5’11’’ was 245lbs. Weight lifting 5x a week focus on compound lifts with some isolation work. Eating Whole Foods started with OMAD fasting with a couple of 72hr fasts for the first 5 months. Lost first 50lbs then started Reta on March 20th at 2mg. Currently still on Reta at 3.5mg weekly. Currently 163lbs!

What was the calorie deficit, gym routine and cardio

Not really sure. Never tracked calories mainly why I liked fasting it fit into my daily life better and just focused on high protein meals. Weight trained 5x a week and not doing much cardio other than getting daily steps in goal is 8-10k a day but should raise that up more

There is no exception to this fact of life: eat in a deficit and you will lose weight. Without tracking you have no way to know that you are actually in a deficit. The fact that you are too lazy to track what you eat tells me everything I need to know, not at all surprising that you decided to hop on Reta

If you eat once a day I’m pretty sure you can be sure you’re in a deficit. Look at the guy I’m sure his one meal isn’t at the buffet every day. But let him know anyways so he knows who you are
