Diet Changes
Nelson1tom reduced his calorie intake from 3500+ calories a day to about 1500, a reduction of over 50%. This type of drastic change can be challenging, especially for someone who enjoyed eating freely. However, consistency and discipline are key to achieving weight loss goals. It took him a couple of weeks to adjust to the new diet, but he stuck it out. Nelson1tom's example proves that, with a little bit of sacrifice and will, it is entirely possible to adjust to a healthier diet.
Exercise Routine

Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle and can boost the metabolism and help burn calories. Any exercise routine should be tailored to one's physical abilities, and it is always advisable to consult with a fitness professional before starting a new workout regimen.
Size Changes
Along with lost pounds, Nelson1tom also saw a significant reduction in his clothes size. He was previously wearing a 36" waist and large shirts but now finds himself fitting comfortably into slim-straight 33" Calvin Klein jeans and most medium shirts. Such size change can increase one's overall confidence and body positivity. It also highlights how other aspects of life can positively be impacted by health and fitness goals.
Conclusion
Nelson1tom's story is an excellent example of what is possible when one dedicates time and energy to their health and wellbeing.
