Introduction
One father's weight loss journey started when his 12-year-old son told him he has "moobs." It took him 21 months to lose 21 pounds, and he shared his progress on Reddit. Many people were impressed by his success and asked him for tips on how to lose weight too.
The Power of Honesty
Sometimes, honesty is the best policy when it comes to weight loss. The man's son's comment made him realize that he needed to make a change. Hearing the truth from someone he loves gave him the motivation he needed to get off his butt and hit the gym.
Gym Routine
The father's gym routine consisted of lifting weights at least five days a week and doing a minimum of 25 minutes of cardio per day. This combination helped him build muscle while losing weight. He found that lifting weights helped boost his metabolism and burn calories, even when he was at rest.
Diet
When it came to diet, the man focused on eating clean, nutritious foods. He kept his carb intake low and ate multiple small meals throughout the day. He also monitored his body fat percentage to make sure he was making progress. By eating well and working out regularly, he was able to lose weight consistently.
Motivational Tips
The father's journey to weight loss wasn't always easy, but he found ways to stay motivated. One tip he shared was to take progress pictures regularly, so he could see how far he had come. He also found it helpful to have a support system in place, whether it was a workout buddy or a group of friends who were also trying to lose weight. Most importantly, he encouraged others to be honest with themselves about their weight and seek out the help and support they need to make a change.
