Introduction

DirtyLover2point0, a 30-year-old male who stands 5’8” tall, once weighed 265 pounds. However, after three and a half months of eating clean and exercising, he now weighs 218 pounds.

Medical Challenges

Shortly after his previous post, DirtyLover2point0 found out that he had an underactive thyroid and low testosterone. These conditions are known to make weight loss difficult despite proper diet and exercise.

Diet and Exercise

DirtyLover2point0 did not follow any specific diet but made sure to eat clean and avoid processed sugars and fake sugar. He consumed 1500-1600 calories a day and limited his carb intake. His workouts started with 20 minutes of cardio, followed by whole body crossfit-style weight training with higher weight and lower reps. He also incorporated free weights and squats into his routine.

Impressive Progress

Despite these challenges, DirtyLover2point0 lost 47 pounds in just three and a half months. His improved health is evident from the fact that his blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes are all under control. His girlfriend enjoys the newfound tightness in his arms, legs, and chest, and his friends have started noticing the difference in his appearance as well.

Conclusion

DirtyLover2point0’s case shows that proper diet and exercise can do wonders for weight loss and health improvement, even in the face of medical challenges such as an underactive thyroid and low testosterone. It’s never too late to start your own weight loss journey and see for yourself the benefits it brings.
