Introduction

Fyreffect, a 31-year-old male, struggled with his weight gain for eight years. His sedentary lifestyle and overeating had caused him to reach 291lbs. However, after looking at himself in the mirror, Fyreffect decided to take back control of his life.

Motivation

Fyreffect's main motivation was loneliness. He realized that his only relationship, for a few years, was with food. He felt embarrassed about his weight and knew he had to break the cycle if he hoped to live a fulfilling life. He decided to start his weight loss journey to find a partner and lead a healthier life.

Weight Loss Plan

He began his weight loss journey by adopting the Atkins diet, eliminating most carbohydrates from his diet and adding more protein and fats. He initially consumed 1500-1600 calories per day with 20g of carbs per day. While he started to monitor his food consumption, he initially ignored his output. As he progressed, he started to introduce more exercises into his regime. He now works out five days a week for 15-20 minutes, doing calisthenics and walking for three miles, sprinting intermittently. Fyreffect currently follows a 2000-2200 calorie diet with a cap of 100g of carbs per day. He has given up sodas and food & beverages containing corn syrup.

Results

After eight months of persistence and perseverance, Fyreffect successfully lost 77lbs, and his BMI dropped from 37.2 to 27.5. He currently weighs 214lbs and continues to follow his exercise & diet routine to maintain his weight. Above all, Fyreffect is happy to have taken control of his life; he derives an indescribable sense of fulfillment from his achievements.
