Usually weight loss is a personal journey that varies from person to person. The key often lies in consistency and balance. It is not just about the number on the scale but about building habits that lead to long term results. One inspiring example is Maddy Tsey, who recently shared her story on Instagram. Over 11 months, Maddy lost 18 kg by following a simple and sustainable four step plan. In her post, Maddy explained how combining strength training with cardio 4-6 times a week helped her build muscle and boost her metabolism. The approach not only burned calories efficiently but also improved her overall fitness.

Perhaps another essential part of her routine was staying hydrated. Drinking 2-3 litres of water daily kept her energy levels high, supported digestion, suppressed her appetite and flushed out toxins contributing to her well-being. Maddy followed an 80/20 principle for food 80% of her meals were made up of nutrient dense, whole foods which provided her with essential vitamins and minerals while 20% allowed for flexibility and indulgence. This balance ensured she could enjoy treats without feeling restricted.

Finally, Maddy tracked her progress through photos taken every 10 days. She mentioned that the progress on the scale is often misled due to water retention, muscle gain and hormonal changes. So, she focused on visible changes that kept her motivated and consistent, even during challenging times. Maddy’s incredible transformation quickly caught the attention of social media users who flooded to the comments section to express their admiration.
