Diet and Lifestyle Changes

1PlyTPGG shared that he used intermittent fasting to create a caloric deficit and focused on eating protein-rich foods. When he started his weight-loss journey, he included weightlifting to his regimen to build muscle and a push-pull-legs training routine to see effective results. He also picked hobbies like jiu-jitsu, ultimate frisbee, and marathon training as forms of exercise he enjoys.

Loose Skin

1PlyTPGG shared that he still has some loose skin around his waist and chest but advises that staying hydrated and intermittent fasting can help to reduce loose skin.

Balancing Exercise and Training

1PlyTPGG faced challenges in balancing his workout regime and sports activities. He started by following the Starting Strength program, which helped him develop a pattern of exercise that made his jiu-jitsu sessions less challenging. He also focused on repairing and recovering from workouts by eating slow-digesting carbs like oats and reducing the frequency of workouts that were draining him.

Conclusion

1PlyTPGG's weight loss journey is an inspiration for anyone looking to start or continue their fitness journey. Through his transformation, he demonstrated the power of consistency and a balanced approach to exercise and nutrition. While everyone is unique, try to focus on a diet that works for you, pick activities you enjoy, and gradually adjust all aspects of your weight loss journey to find an approach that creates long-term sustainable change.
