YouNeed, a vlogger, shares her weight loss journey where she lost 12kg (from 55kg to 43kg) in 1.5-2 months. She attributes her success to a combination of diet and exercise.
**Diet:**
- Ate two meals a day (Greek yogurt or salad for lunch and a variety of homemade meals for dinner)
- Reduced carb intake and increased protein intake
- Avoided wheat-based foods, rice, and sweet drinks
- Had a cheating day once a fortnight, but still avoided wheat-based foods
**Exercise:**
- Worked out 5 times a week for 2 hours (1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of following YouTube videos)
- Followed specific workout videos for arms, legs, abs, and calves
**Diet Tips:**
- If you overeat, work out harder and keep your stomach empty for 16 hours
- To break through a weight loss plateau, make a change to your routine (e.g., change cardio or workout time)
YouNeed emphasizes the importance of a healthy mindset and making sustainable lifestyle changes rather than just focusing on weight loss.
