Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
Hoofadoo, a 28-year-old 6'7" man weighing 525 lbs, started his weight loss journey with a paleo and keto diet in January 2014. His health issues and parenthood inspired him to take one last attempt at dieting instead of choosing surgery.
Visible Progress
After just three months, Hoofadoo shed 76 lbs and significantly reduced his medication intake. His chronic urticaria improved, which previously controlled his life with six pills daily, and now he is down to two pills after following a paleo and keto diet.
Lifestyle Change
Hoofadoo considers this a lifestyle change rather than a diet and feels more determined than ever before. He appreciates the tasks that were once challenging, like walking and hiking. He plans for further weight loss and hopes to inspire others on his journey.
Ability to Keep Muscle Mass
Hoofadoo mostly lost fat while keeping his muscle mass by doing some lifting beyond the weight loss diet's regimen. He wore his 525 lbs pretty well because of his height and muscle mass, but now he looks and feels even better as he loses weight.
Final Thoughts
Losing 76 lbs within three months is a remarkable feat. Hoofadoo's story showcased the benefits of choosing a healthy weight loss strategy over surgery. However, it's different for everyone. It is best to consult with a professional for the most suitable weight loss strategy, but rest assured that lifestyle changes could work wonders in one's health and fitness journey.
