One of the best things about Reddit is its ability to bring people with similar interests and pursuits together. And for those on a fitness journey, the r/ProgressPics subreddit offers inspiration from other people's weight loss transformations. In this article, we focus on OyajiGomez23's journey.

Diet insights

OyajiGomez23 shares that his weight loss success came from consistently being in a caloric deficit while maintaining his protein intake. Specifically, he takes in 1g of protein per pound of body weight which amounts to 180-190g. He personally takes whey protein but hasn't done research on the differences between animal and plant protein.

Muscle development insights

Apart from losing fat, OyajiGomez23 had specific goals for muscle development. He wanted to work on his back, chest, and shoulders. He studied the best ways to train those muscles and did some trial and error to find out what works best for his body. He emphasizes the importance of patience and consistency in achieving muscle development goals.

Goals and inspiration

OyajiGomez23's goal is to add another 15-20lbs of lean muscle and eventually compete in classic physique bodybuilding. His journey serves as an inspiration that with hard work, patience, and consistency, anyone can achieve their fitness goals.

Conclusion

Finding the right diet and exercise program takes trial and error, and it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. OyajiGomez23's journey is a testament to the importance of patiently working to figure out what works best for the body. If you're on a weight loss or muscle development journey, it's best to learn from others' experiences but also experiment to find what works for you.
