Introduction

MilkshakeExpert is a Reddit user who has lost 60 pounds in his journey towards weight loss after making changes in his diet, adding exercise and using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). He shares his story and offers inspiration to others.

Diet Changes

MilkshakeExpert took a lower carbohydrate approach to his diet but he didn't follow a keto diet. He used MyFitnessPal to track his calories and help him reach his daily goals.

Exercise

According to his Reddit post, MilkshakeExpert runs occasionally but focuses more on strength training. He lifts weights like a maniac and his strength training routine seemed to work well for him.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

MilkshakeExpert also used TRT to help him build muscle and lose weight. He gets weekly shots and has his blood tested every six months. He mentioned that TRT may kill a man's natural T production, but his levels were so low (120 -- normal ~300-800) that it didn't matter.

Conclusion

Although MilkshakeExpert's approach may not be suitable for all, his story can inspire people to take the first step to a healthy life. It is essential to consult an expert in matters relating to diet and TRT before starting, but making changes to your lifestyle can have a massive impact on your journey towards weight loss.
