Introduction

At the age of 24 and weighing 246lbs, jjbrunton decided to embark on a weight loss journey. Over the course of 14 months, he lost an incredible 77lbs and reduced body fat levels. He achieved this through following a primarily Keto diet and incorporating exercise into his routine. He shared his incredible story on Reddit and its massive upvotes are a testament to the hard work and dedication he put into his journey.

Keto Diet

For jjbrunton, the main appeal of the Keto diet was the flexibility it offered him when he returned home after a long day at work. It involves consuming foods high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbs. This puts the body in a state of ketosis, where it burns stored fat for energy instead of glucose. This change in diet also helped in reducing cravings and improving overall satiety levels.

Exercise Routine

While jjbrunton initially did little exercise, he eventually transitioned into a routine of lifting every other day and mixing in running (5k) and road cycling on the off days. These exercises not only helped with weight loss but also contributed to improving his overall fitness levels.

Motivation and Support

Throughout the journey, jjbrunton received immense motivation and support from friends, family, and the Reddit community. He frequently posted updates and progress pictures, which motivated and inspired others to embark on their own journeys. He also received a positive comment on his impressive X-Men poster and doo hickie thing a mobobs on his desk.

Conclusion

The weight loss journey that jjbrunton underwent is proof that with dedication, hard work, and the right nutrition and exercise, weight loss is achievable. For those looking to embark on a similar journey, trying out the Keto diet can be an excellent starting point. Incorporating some exercise into their routine gradually can also be beneficial. The support from friends and family can be further motivation. However, it's crucial to remember that every individual's journey is unique, and what worked for jjbrunton might not work for everyone.
