edited November 2024 in Success Stories
I was a 270lb powerlifter and decided that was not the life I wanted. I got with a nutritionist and a strength coach. I lost nearly 52 lbs of fat in 7 months from a perfect diet and it burned fat off. I couldn't believe how much I was eating and how much I was losing. Now at 217 I'm at the last 10% of what I need to lose and it's usually 90% of the work. Here's my progress from about 250ish to 217. It was much worse and I'm kinda embarrassed to show me at 270. I had some issues and let myself really go. i7dfy1ngm9em.jpg

    I also forgot to add that halfway through my transformation I got an umbilical hernia and was out for two months. This was April/may.

    Wow! 52 lbs of fat! I lift heavy too and the fat is still there. What diet did you follow? Did you add cardio? Right now I'm only doing a lot of lifting and a little cardio. Diet is not terrible, but not clean. Any insight you have would be appreciated!

    PS - you look REALLY nice in both pics. :*

    I went on a recomp after I got to a decent weight which is a almost perfect diet. I've been eating 6 meals a day. Big meals actually. I hired a nutritionist and he dialed my diet in good. I carb cycle and it's tough because leg days and back days I eat high carbs about 250 carbs aday. Off days and cardio days I eat 50 carbs and high fats. I was surprised the amount of food I eat and how it burns fat.
