The Workout Routine

The Reddit user recommends lifting 3 times a week with a 2 day split (35 minutes, sets to failure). 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

Remember to acknowledge what you're consuming and always check the Nutritional Facts. Tell yourself "You can do this," when obstacles come your way. Try out the tips and tricks suggested by the Reddit user, and see what works best for you.
