Father-Of-Three Realizes He Can’t Keep Up With His Children, Transforms His Body Beyond Recognition In 6 Months

Get out there and do it! I believe in you. =]

...and my 54 year old body in to one of that 39 year old!

We shall anticipate pictures...go for it!

Let's do it, man. I believe you can do it.

There actually IS a picture of him with his wife...

A Keto diet is really not healthy. Keto completely restricts yourself from carbohydrates. You need a good balance of protein, essential fats, and carbohydrates to maintain a good healthy diet. The same, or similar results can be achieved without going on a strict keto diet.

That's not true @TommyDAQ. Keto, done properly (which is not difficult), can be a very healthy diet and has benefits beyond potential weight loss (stable energy levels, improved sleep, boosted immune system, healthier skin... etc.). Carbs are not an essential macronutrient, only fat and protein are; a person can get the nutrients they need on a low carb diet by making make good food choices with the carbs they do eat. True, weight loss can be achieved from other types of diets. However, the advantage Keto can provide is that a body "rewired" to primarily burn fat as a fuel source can swiftly switch between using consumed fat & stored body fat for energy. This significantly lowers hunger levels (without the need for appetite suppressants) and allows a person, if they choose, to easily eat at a calorie deficit, which is the key to weight loss. Keto is muscle-sparing, a person can retain pretty much all their lean body mass with calorie deficits by eating adequate protein.

It's not that hard. Pretty basic. More protein, veggies, fruit and less sugar and carbs. Carry snacks (coconut, bars, almonds or fruit) with you so you won't cheat with fast food.

Ryan Ex is right. A keto diet is likely the best way to lose weight quickly (I lost 30% body weight on keto). Any diet with significant levels of carbs will *inhibit* fat-loss. Couple of notes about keto: You would still be eating leafy greens and non-starchy veggies. Proteins are also kept to a modest level (15% of total calories) -- keto should *not* be considered synonymous with the Atkins diet. As for whether a keto diet is healthiest long-term is for the medical specialists to determine. Being obese is a grave health risk so you should make fixing that your top priority. When I read about healthiest diets, I question why they do not categorize them according to the patient's goals/needs, e.g., the keto diet paired with intermittent fasting to swiftly lose the weight, *then* low-carb mostly-plant-based to maintain ideal weight. There are different diets which can be more effective/suitable than others at managing the stages of your weight plan.

The average American watches five hours of TV per day. Google it. That's why they are averagely the most obese people on earth. So if they find time for that, then they can find time for exercise.

i don't think the hiking is daily, but maybe I misunderstood. If you are determined, you can find the time and sleep less or whatever it takes. Also, maybe wife is stay at home mom. That would help! He did it though and please don't call it "primping." Styling your hair is primping. Exercise is LIFE!

The average American watches around five hourse of television every single day. So by just cutting oput TV he could get in his workout mevery day and still spend two more hours doing something productive. To avoid being away from his kids he could do an hour or two in the morning before work. And take the kids to a class most night at the sports centre while he does his workout. He could then do a run every night with the kids and dogs. His kids would be fitter better at sport and their grades would improve from the good health and focus.

Susan, I have one toddler, one job, and I already sleep too little. To find three extra hours every day just to work out, I'd have to focus solely on that - no time to rest, no time to play with my kid, no time to talk with my wife. Oh, and going to the gym costs money, while I can barely scrape together enough to get us through the month. Got some sage advice from me? Other than "stop being poor and overworked", obviously.

You also have no idea how this man may have adjusted his schedule to accommodate such a lifestyle change. Perhaps he's now getting up at 5 AM instead of sleeping 'til 8. He may be doing his hike before the kids get up, and doing his strength training after the kids are in bed. Why try to condemn a man for making a positive change? Give the guy the benefit of the doubt! Be positive, my friend!

Way to completely miss the point.

Every American claiming that he is a bad guy for taking three hours to work out each day when the average American watches FIVE hours of TV a day. Google it! That's why they are the most obese people on earth. so not only making excuses for being lazy but attacking a man for not being lazy.

oh look; an a*****e 'feminist'
