Background
RageWeed, a 17-year-old boy, was a victim of being overweight but decided to make a significant change. For five months, RageWeed documented his weight transformation journey regularly. He accomplished a significant milestone of weight loss, enabling him to shed off 71 lbs by sticking to a healthy diet while practicing weight training in less than half a year.
Diet
RageWeed's diet strategy was based on a high-protein, low-carb diet. He skipped junk food, embraced low-fat meat, and cut his sugar intake. His diet consisted of a breakfast of Greek yogurt with muesli and peanut butter toast with honey and fruit, followed by protein shakes and small, healthy snacks every few hours. For lunch and dinner, he made sure to have enough protein, vegetables, and rice.
Workout
RageWeed's workout routine focussed more on weightlifting than cardio. He did not follow a custom routine and devised his own to fit his body. He worked out every day and had a rest day for yoga and abs. His workout routine typically included Biceps/Shoulders/Traps, Tricep/Chest, Legs/Back, and Abs/Random.
Results
The transformation of RageWeed is impressive, having lost 71 lbs in 5 months, his body went through a complete overhaul. Moreover, he felt confident in himself, with an increase in happiness and viewed his body transformation as a significant win. His story inspired over 47 upvotes, a few comments, and other overweight people in similar situations.
Conclusion
Losing weight is a challenging process, but it can be achievable with the right mindset, effort, and a little patience. Like RageWeed, you can embrace being overweight as an opportunity to change your life by taking small steps to shift your eating habits from junk food to healthy, balanced meals and incorporating weight training over cardio. You should never give up if the change comes slowly, as healthy and consistent weight loss is worth the wait.
