Losing weight can be a long, taxing, and even discouraging process. However, it’s quite uplifting to see someone go the distance on their weight loss journey.

Shifting his mindset helped him adopt healthier habits and stay consistent.

Diet Changes

Werknprogress made big changes in his diet with the help of a nutritionist. He focused on eating whole foods and reducing his intake of processed foods. He incorporated vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats into his meals. He also watched his portion sizes and controlled his calorie intake.

Physical Activity

Werknprogress started with light exercises like walking and gradually worked his way up. He eventually incorporated weight lifting, jogging, and even cycling in his routine.

Conclusion

Werknprogress’s weight loss journey wasn't easy, but it was worth it. He found that adopting a healthy lifestyle required a shift in mindset and the incorporation of new habits. By gradually introducing changes and seeking help from professionals, he was able to achieve his goal weight in just under two years.
