Filmdakid's routine

His diet consisted mainly of protein-rich foods like tuna, chicken, beef, and fish, supplemented with oatmeal and fruits.

Consistency and discipline

Filmdakid managed to stick to his routine by following his discipline strictly, even rewarding himself every Saturday with a cheat day, where he allowed himself to eat anything he wanted.

Conclusion

Filmdakid has shown that discipline, consistency, and commitment are essential in achieving a healthier and more positive life. While his routine worked for him, he also knows that each journey is unique, and there is no magic formula. He encourages everyone to try different things and stick to what works best for them in their quest for a better self.
