From 260 to 210 and Counting: Journey Towards Physical Transformation

Introduction

One young male, Bioraiku, has successfully lost 50 lbs from January to date. In his reddit post, he shares how he got thinner, gained strength, and cuter (as per one user's testimonial), and elaborates on his routine strategies for achieving these physical victories.

Diet

Bioraiku's primary tool for weight loss was committed adherence to a high-protein vegan diet. Through careful planning based on his dietary restrictions, he was able to make sure that he was getting the nutrients he needed while also staying within his daily calorie limits.

Exercise routine

In addition to a healthy diet, Bioraiku cycled around 25 miles, 4-5 days a week, and kayaked around 10 miles, 2-3 days a week. These exercises were aimed at working both his upper and lower body, and building enough cardio to keep his metabolism high, without tiring himself out. He also added to his routine playground games, such as tag, with his little sister. This focus on playful exercises kept him engaged, active and more likely to continue exercising consistently.

Next steps

Bioraiku's next goal weight is 180 lbs. Once he achieves this, he plans to begin building muscle. One user shared their strategy of building muscle and losing weight simultaneously by adding extra training to their activity routine. While Bioraiku does not discredit this training method, he has opted to lose the bulk of his weight first before moving on to the next phase of his physical transformation.

Conclusion

The key takeaway from Bioraiku's weight loss journey is consistency. His commitment to a healthy vegan diet, playful exercise routine and early goal-setting has worked wonders. Bioraiku's success shows that being fit doesn't necessarily require an elaborate diet plan or gym membership, as achievable goals accompanied with a willingness to commit to them can go a long way.
