His post received almost 200 upvotes and numerous comments, with people asking how he achieved such success in such a short timeframe. In this article, we'll explore BipolarBears87's weight loss journey, including the changes he made to his diet and exercise routine, his mental health strategies, and his tips for staying motivated.

Diet Changes

BipolarBears87's doctor advised him to follow the Atkins diet, which involves avoiding sugar and carbs. This meant cutting out beer, juice, soda, bread, rice, potatoes, and more. Instead, he focused on eating green vegetables, meat, proteins, eggs, and cheese. He also only drank water and black tea for three months. BipolarBears87 is now slowly reintroducing low-carb foods with natural sugars, such as fruits.

Exercise Routine

BipolarBears87 started running 3 miles on the treadmill every other day. This helped him lose weight and stay active, but he also highlighted the importance of mental health strategies in achieving his weight loss goals.

Mental Health Strategies

BipolarBears87 said that he struggled with mental health issues, but found that sticking to his diet and exercise routine helped him feel more in control. He also used visualization techniques to imagine himself at a healthier weight and set achievable goals for himself.

Conclusion

If you're looking to lose weight, consider speaking with a doctor about what diet and exercise plan would work best for you, and don't be afraid to prioritize your mental health along the way. Remember, as BipolarBears87 said, 'It's a marathon not a sprint, so just keep pushing.'
