Introduction

Weight gain and weight loss journeys are always different for everyone, and one Reddit user, M/24/5'10", has shared their own journey. The user gained 30 pounds in just 12 months using a dirty bulk method and eventually lost 10 pounds through cardio and clean diet since April amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dirty Bulk, Gaining 30 pounds

The user started out weighing 130 pounds and was determined to gain weight, so they implemented the dirty bulk method of eating more calories than needed, including junk food and sugary drinks. They went up to 153 pounds after 12 months of this method. Though effective, this weight gain method is not recommended for everyone, and consultation with a dietician is ideal.

Losing 10 Pounds through Cardio and Clean Eating

After the dirty bulk, the user cut down on their weight and reached 152 by incorporating cardio exercise, and eventually began eating clean foods since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in April. The user mentioned that the transition from a dirty bulk to cardio and clean diet was not easy, as it required discipline and patience. But it was effective towards reaching their body goals.

Conclusion

The user's weight journey is a reminder that everyone's body journey and goals are different. While a dirty bulk worked for one person, it may not work for others, and the transition to a clean diet and cardio requires discipline and patience. Consultation with a dietician and a fitness trainer is suggested if one wants to change their body's composition. Ultimately, everyone's body transformation journey is unique, and the user's progress is a reminder to try different things and see what works best.
