Weight Gain

As stated in the Reddit post, the user gained 25 pounds, starting at 120 pounds and ending up at 145 pounds. While it is impossible or unsafe in most cases, to gain such weight in such a short time and maintain good health, the user attributed their fast weight gain to starting with a very low body fat percentage.

Diet

The user did not detail their diet, but it was evident that they consumed more calories than their body needed to meet their fitness goals. They likely increased their caloric intake through high-protein, nutrient-dense foods and supplements, all while pairing adequate exercises to ensure optimum results.

Exercise

The Reddit user likely engaged in weight lifting and strength training, together with some light cardio workouts. An exercise routine along with the increase in calories could have resulted in an increased metabolism, which aids in building muscle mass and burning fat for leaner muscles like what the photo depicted.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's weight gain journey is inspirational and proves that progress is attainable if consistent work is put in. Although gaining 25 pounds in just two months is not recommended for everyone, the key to the user's success was their dedication to proper exercise and diet to reach their goals. Encouraging readers to follow similar fitness principles to improve their health, fitness, wellness and reach their goals.
