How Tracking Data Daily Helped Me Lose 46kg: My Journey to a Healthier Life
5/8/20241 min read
Just over a year ago, I decided to take control of my health. At that time, I was significantly overweight and knew I needed to make a change. What really helped me succeed was using data to guide my journey.
I started by carefully tracking what I ate every day, counting calories, and analyzing the nutritional content of my meals. This allowed me to understand exactly what I was putting into my body and how it was affecting me. I also began weighing myself daily. By collecting this data, I could see trends and make adjustments to my diet and exercise routine in real-time.
This data-driven approach was incredibly effective. Over the course of a year, I lost 46 kilograms and transformed my health. Tracking my meals and weight daily helped me stay accountable and motivated because I could see the progress I was making, even if it was gradual.

Through this process, I was reminded of how powerful data analysis can be in achieving goals. By treating my health as a project and consistently collecting and reviewing data, I was able to make informed decisions that led to real, lasting results.
If you're interested in more details, there are plenty of online resources about science-based weight loss and muscle building. For example here.
I hope that by sharing my own experience, I can encourage someone in a similar situation to give it a try.
