Introduction

Meet jontejj, a 26-year-old male who stood at 5'4'' and weighed 169lbs. A self-proclaimed cake lover, he decided to take control of his health and embark on a weight loss journey that would last 24 months.

Long Distance Running

Jontejj relied heavily on long distance running to shed the pounds. He did not follow any special diet, but simply ate less. Running helped him burn calories and improve his cardiovascular health. He started seeing results, but then hit a plateau.

The Plank and Protein Rich Diet

Jontejj switched up his workout routine and started doing the plank. He also changed his diet to include more protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, and more. He slowly started seeing changes and began to get the toned physique he desired. However, he still had issues with forbidden foods.

Mental Health and Therapy

Jontejj recognized that he had issues with certain foods and decided to seek therapy to overcome them. He realized that mental health is just as important as physical health and sought help to address his issues. Therapy helped him to understand and cope with his food-related anxieties.

Conclusion

Jontejj's weight loss journey is a reminder that it takes time, patience, and discipline to achieve your fitness goals. By incorporating long distance running, plank exercises and a protein-rich diet, he was able to lose weight gradually over two years. However, mental health is an important factor in weight loss and seeking therapy can be helpful in addressing underlying issues. Try things out for yourself and find what works best for your body, but always remember to prioritize your overall wellbeing.
