Introduction
Depression can take a toll on a person's physical health too. But Reddit user [deleted] turned his life around by finding solace in a new routine of nutrition and exercise. After his breakup in December, he fell into depression and lost weight. But in just three months, he achieved an impressive weight gain journey, which he shared on Reddit.
Initial Weight Loss
Depression can cause a loss of appetite and motivation, and if left unchecked, can lead to severe weight loss. The same happened to [deleted]. He lost 11lbs in total, bringing his weight down to 155lbs.
Changes in routine
But he didn't let that get to him. Instead, he started working out daily and focused on a high-protein diet. He started with small exercise routines and gradually built his strength and stamina. He also started tracking his calorie intake to make sure he was consuming enough nutrients to rebuild his body.
Progress in 3 months
The dedication paid off. In just three months, he gained 11lbs and reached a weight of 166lbs. He expressed happiness with the results and credits his success to regular workout routines, a nutritious and balanced diet, and consistent sleep patterns. But most importantly, he found a new purpose in life that helped him overcome his depression.
Conclusion
Depression can be a difficult struggle, but getting into routine and focusing on fitness and nutrition can be a great way to combat the negative side effects. Everyone's journey is different, but taking inspiration from [deleted]'s story, anyone can start to change their life too. It's important to remember that any progress is progress, and small steps in the right direction can lead to significant changes over time.
