Learning Patience and Consistency

BrockSpr admits that learning patience and consistency was the biggest obstacle he faced at the beginning of his journey. He wanted to lose 130-140 pounds but couldn't stop himself from overeating, which seemed daunting and insurmountable at the time. However, he realized that he needed to accept responsibility for who he was and what he had done to his body. This allowed him to look at things logically and develop the patience required to get through the first stretch of his journey.

Staying Committed Despite Seeming Results

Brockspr found that by the time he hit 220 pounds, he started to receive compliments and attention, which was a big adjustment for him. But this started to wane his commitment towards health and he started to enjoy parties by drinking and eating junk food. After gaining a few pounds, he realized that his newfound confidence was not worth it, and he owed it to himself to stay committed to his journey.

The Right Diet and Exercise

BrockSpr found that calorie restriction and eating high volume, nutritionally dense foods worked best for him. He primarily consumed lean meats like chicken and fish, eggs, and whole grains. When it comes to exercise, he does intermittent fasting and fasted cardio, which made him shed pounds faster. He also lifted weights and worked physically demanding blue-collar jobs when he wasn’t at college.

Wrapping up

BrockSpr's weight loss journey is a testament to the fact that anyone can achieve lasting weight loss if they put in the effort and stay committed. His journey was tough, but he never gave up and continued to make progress every day. His story can be an inspiration and motivation to anyone who is looking to lose weight and become healthier. If you're struggling with weight loss, know that you can do it too if you make a well-constructed plan and stick to it. Just remember to stay disciplined and stay strong!
