Starting Stats

At the beginning of his weight loss journey, this 19-year-old male had a starting weight of 260lbs. Being 6'5", his BMI classified him as obese, which was a cause of concern. He decided to take matters into his own hands and started with baby steps to transform his health.

Diet Changes

The Reddit user realized that to lose weight, it was necessary to change his diet. He started by cutting back on processed foods and sugary drinks such as soda. Instead, he switched to a healthier, whole foods based diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources such as chicken breast, turkey, and fish.

Exercise Routine

Along with dietary changes, the 19-year-old male added exercise into his routine. Initially, he started with brisk walking for 30 minutes daily and then gradually incorporating weight lifting exercises. As his body adapted, he began to incorporate HIIT-style workouts to mix up his routine and avoid hitting a plateau.

Results and Transformation

Through his diligence and commitment, the Reddit user managed to lose weight, burning off 60lbs within 10 months. Apart from the physical transformation achieved, he noticed a boost to his self-confidence as well. He now has more energy and stamina to do activities he enjoys like playing basketball and joining outdoor events with friends.
