Introduction

ThinkOTB, a Reddit user, shares his 40lb weight loss journey on the platform. Through weightlifting and healthy eating, he was able to achieve his goal in just 17 months.

Diet

ThinkOTB's diet involved high protein low carb meals. He also had cheat days, but made sure to bounce back into his good habits quickly. This type of diet helps in weight loss by reducing calorie intake and making the body rely on fat and protein for energy.

Gym routine

ThinkOTB hit the gym 6-7 days a week and focused on specific muscle groups every 3-4 days. He worked on his back and biceps, chest and triceps, shoulders and legs, and abs. He recently incorporated running 2 miles, 3-4 times a week for cardio. This routine helped him build muscle and burn fat.

Supplements

ThinkOTB used protein and creatine supplements to help him achieve his weight loss goals. Protein helps in building and repairing muscles while creatine increases strength and maximizes muscle regeneration. However, supplements should always be taken as directed to avoid adverse effects.

Conclusion

ThinkOTB's weight loss journey is a great example of how weightlifting and healthy eating can significantly help in shedding pounds. While his routine worked for him, it's important to note that everybody is different, and it's always best to consult a professional before starting a new routine. The key is to find what works best for you and remember that small improvements can eventually lead to significant results.
