The Workout Routine

On the first day, focus on chest, shoulders, tricep, biceps, and forearms; on the second day, work on back (lower/upper), traps, and obliques; and on the third day, focus on legs (quads, hams, calves) and abdominal.
The Diet
The user suggests limiting carb intake to 100g/day, while eating as much protein (fish, beef, pork, etc.) and vegetables as desired. Snacks can include peanuts, beef jerky, and celery with natural peanut butter. For breakfast, eggs (two with yellow yolk), green onions, bacon and coffee. Lunch can be a protein style 4x4 In-N-Out Burger with 8oz diet soda. Dinner can be steak, grilled tomatoes, with a salad that is not milk-based. They also recommend to implement ONE cheat day a week.
Daily Routine
In addition to the workout routine and diet, the Reddit user recommends making changes to daily routines, including stairs, incline walking (timed; 15 mins), and finding new clothes to wear. The user also emphasizes the importance of movement, telling yourself "You can do this" when an obstacle is noticed.
What to Avoid
According to the Reddit user, it's best to avoid fruits, fruit juices, fat-free milk, drinking more than 8oz. of milk, alcohol, sugary foods, and spam, unless bulking or not eating a full can. The user also recommends avoiding nuts (peanut is a legume) and being skeptical of the weight on the scale.
Final Thought
