Introduction

Losing weight can be a challenging undertaking. For M23, however, it was a remarkable journey of discipline, grit, and determination. With a starting weight of 195.1 pounds (88.5 kg), M23 lost 31 pounds (14.1 kg) in a year.

Workout Routine

M23's workouts were intense, and he followed a meticulously crafted routine. In the first two weeks, he trained chest and triceps on Monday, back and biceps on Wednesday, legs and shoulders on Friday, and abs on Saturday. For weeks 3-12, he ran for 1.5 miles on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays before doing a full-body workout. Thursday was for cardio, and Friday was for chest and triceps. Saturdays were full body, and Sunday was a rest day. Months 4-9 focused on exercises like squats, OHP, chin-ups, push-ups, deadlifts, and rows. The final three months involved boosting diet and intermittent fasting.

Diet Schema

M23's diet strategy was to eat little during the first three months, consuming only cheat meals every couple of weeks. In the bulking phase, he monitored only protein and calorie consumption for six months. In the cutting phase, he almost entirely eradicated carbs from his diet and started intermittent fasting and carb cycling to burn more fat. For example, in one meal, he consumed six scrambled eggs, four slices of cheese, steamed spinach, broccoli roasted in olive oil, and hot sauce for lunch. For dinner, he had grilled zucchini, 1 lb beef, and Greek yogurt.

Haircut and Posture

Alongside his diet and workout routines, M23 took a step further to improve his appearance by cutting his hair a month into the lifestyle change. M23 believed short hair makes him look more presentable and professional. In response to a comment on Reddit about his improved posture, M23 admitted that walking like you wear a cape improved his posture.

Conclusion

M23's weight loss journey demonstrates that remarkable results are achievable with discipline, a good diet, and exercise routines. Whether you are looking to lose weight or achieve your fitness goal, M23's story offers insights and inspiration to try things out for yourself.
