The Journey

Reddit user askthepoolboy posted his weight loss journey and received over 180 upvotes and tons of comments regarding his transformation. He lost 70 lbs in a year by changing his diet and routine.

The Diet

Askthepoolboy admits he didn't count calories, but he did change up his diet a lot. His breakfast usually includes oatmeal with flax seed, chia seeds, raspberries, a little granola, honey, and milk. His lunch is a unique concoction of an apple, crumbled boiled egg, uncooked garbanzo beans, sliced carrots, a little olive oil and grape juice. His snacks involve yogurt mixed with blueberries, chia seeds, ground flax, and sometimes mixed nuts. For dinner, he usually cooks chicken or pork in a crockpot and microwaves spinach and broccoli with a few almonds and a little olive oil on top.

The Routine

Askthepoolboy's workout routine changes every few weeks, but right now he does a full body routine 2-3 times a week and a Spartacus workout in between. He tries to run or bike a few miles, wakeboard at least once a week, swim as often as he can, do stuff around the house to keep moving, go surfing about once a week, and generally just try to have fun doing stuff away from his desk. He also limits his time on sites like Reddit and G+ to about an hour total each day.

The Outcome

Askthepoolboy's weight loss journey was a major success, and he received compliments left and right for his transformation. He inspires others to try out different diets and routines, but to also have fun doing it!
