Introduction

One Reddit user has recently shared their weight loss journey where they lost 30lbs through natural methods and bodybuilding. Over the years, they have always been interested in fitness and started bodybuilding since age 18. However, it’s only in the past few years that they decided to give it their all and focus on achieving their desired results.

Consistency is Key

The user reveals that through years of consistency, they’ve learned how to eat right and take care of their body. Despite having shoulder and hip problems since middle school, they’ve put extra focus on mobility and functionality, doing lots of yoga over the years and emphasizing form and posture. As they aimed for a Goku physique, they turned to calisthenics and handstand exercises, with inspiration from the likes of Ido Portal, and later transitioned back to traditional body-building.

Lean Bulking

The user always followed the lean-bulking method, which may have contributed to their success. They advise on mastering nutrition, being disciplined with that, and prioritizing sleep and recovery, which will help one become more in tune with their body, making workouts more efficient.

Dedication Pays Off

The comments on the post reveal how impressed and inspired people are by the user’s journey, noting the amount of discipline and hard work it must have taken to achieve those results. By dedicating themselves to fitness, the user has improved not only their physique but has also kept themselves from feeling depressed and like a failure, as they can always control what they eat and how they train.

Conclusion

Weight loss journeys take time and commitment but can be achieved through natural methods and bodybuilding, as evidenced by one Reddit user's 30lb weight loss. Consistency, lean bulking, mastering nutrition, sleep and recovery, and prioritizing mobility and functionality can all contribute to the success of a weight loss journey. With inspiration from fitness role models, anyone can achieve their desired results, improve their body, and boost their mental health.
