Introduction

Meet Brotherdoctor, a reddit user who packed on some fast food weight after taking a demanding job. However, within a span of 3 months, he dropped 18 pounds and successfully sculpted his body.

Diet Changes

The weight loss transformation journey began with Brotherdoctor's resolution to start cooking and packaging crockpot meals instead of indulging in fast food. He used MyFitnessPal to track his calories and focused on his protein macros to try to maintain as much mass as possible.

Exercise Plan

Not only did Brotherdoctor alter his diet, but he also focused on working on his fitness. He began his journey doing Stronglifts 5x5 and then switched to a lower volume 4x per week upper/lower split plan, similar to Stronglifts, while he was losing the weight. However, once he started getting into the recomp process, he realized that Stronglifts 5x5 was too much for him and he started an upper/lower split.

Cardio

Brotherdoctor mainly ran and he made sure to use a training program for 5k or a half even if he was not doing a race. He knew he was going to dinner/drinks on Saturday night, he would do a 7-8 mile run in advance. This helped him create a calorie deficit and lose those 18 pounds in just 3 months.

Conclusion

Brotherdoctor's journey proves that with dedication, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. His transformation shows that a combination of a healthy diet, proper exercise plan, and persistence can lead to a fit and healthy body. There were countless comments on his post congratulating him on his transformation, and even requesting tips from him on how they could achieve a similar transformation. So readers, it's time to take the first step towards fitness and start working on your body.
