The Reason Behind the Weight Gain

Trnkvn gained weight due to excessive drinking during his 21st year, which caused him to put on more weight than ever before. He didn't like the way he looked in photos, and decided to make a change.

The Plan of Action

Trnkvn stopped drinking (except for the occasional beer with friends) and started going to the gym 4-5 times a week. He focused on bench-press, deadlift, squat, and pull-ups, and also spent some time on a stationary bike on rest days.

The Diet

Trnkvn cut out foods with more than 5g of carbs per serving (not including carbs from fiber), and estimates he's eating less than 50g of carbs per day. He started by logging his meals in MyFitnessPal at 1200 calories per day, but eventually got used to estimating how much he was eating.

The Results

Trnkvn lost 14 pounds in two months and is feeling good about the progress he's made. He's happy to answer any questions and is glad that the process wasn't as hard as he thought it would be.

Takeaway

Trnkvn's weight loss journey shows that with determination and a plan of action, anyone can achieve their fitness goals. By cutting out excess carbs, working out regularly, and keeping track of his progress, he was able to make significant changes in his appearance and overall health. Consider trying out similar methods for yourself, but always consult a doctor or nutritionist to make sure you're doing what's best for your individual needs.
