Introduction

In a recent post on Reddit, a user who goes by the name 00hawkson shared his journey of gaining 11lbs, losing fat, and building muscle. Like many people, he struggled with being 'skinny fat,' the condition of having a low BMI but a high body fat percentage.

Diet and Exercise Routine

To achieve his transformation, 00hawkson followed a healthy diet, with a caloric surplus to support muscle growth. He also focused on strength training, doing pull-ups, push-ups, squats, and leg raises with good form. In addition, he did high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, primarily focused on core and leg movements when he wasn't doing strength training.

Results and Progress

After just three months, 00hawkson saw significant results. He gained 11lbs, added lean muscle mass, and shed body fat, primarily from his midsection. Although he still wanted to add a few more lean pounds, he shared that he was loving the journey and was looking forward to continuing to progress.

Takeaway

00hawkson's journey highlights the importance of following a well-balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise, particularly strength and HIIT training, to achieve a healthy body composition. While everyone's results will vary, this user's success should serve as inspiration to others looking to shed body fat and gain lean muscle mass.

Conclusion

By making lifestyle changes that include healthy eating habits and regular exercise, anyone can achieve a healthier body composition. 00hawkson's transformation is proof that hard work and dedication pay off in the end. To those looking to make a change, remember that small steps lead to big progress and to keep pushing forward toward your goals.
