Introduction

Losing weight is a journey that can be challenging and rewarding. In this article, we share the progress of a 19-year-old reddit user, thuggnhard, who lost 55 pounds in just eight months through simple lifestyle changes.

Dietary Changes

Thuggnhard started by watching what he ate and focusing on three things: fat, carbs, and protein. All sugar, condiments, and soda were cut out. The main focus was on protein, aiming to intake the body weight in grams every day. Thuggnhard eats different things every day, so the protein intake fluctuates between 150-160g. Carbs are also limited, except for a large amount at night before a morning workout. By skipping breakfast, Thuggnhard wakes up energized and ready to hit the gym.

Fitness Routine

Thuggnhard's fitness routine is simple and effective. He works out at Planet Fitness and rotates throughout machines and uses dumbbells. Thuggnhard doesn't follow a particular schedule but instead rotates through different muscle groups: chest/tris/shoulder, back/bis/forearms, and legs/abs/lower back. A day of rest or cardio is thrown in between.

Results

Thuggnhard's progress speaks for itself. He lost 55 pounds in eight months, averaging at 1.57 pounds per week. The BMI is now at a healthy 25.1, and he looks like a completely different person. Thuggnhard's journey proves that small, sustainable changes can lead to amazing results.

Conclusion

Thuggnhard's successful weight loss journey is an inspiration to anyone looking to make lifestyle changes. By focusing on diet and exercise, small changes can lead to incredible results. If you are looking to start your own journey, there is no better time than now.
