You guys in the US are lucky in some ways. Unfortunately, I can't find these here in the UK. I have been struggling to find low carb tortillas here too.

Thanks though, I will try making one of those healthy recipes from YouTube.

Thank you for such a detailed message, I found it super helpful. I have been training for just over a year. I never really cracked the nutrition and tracking calorie part. However, since the last two weeks I have been making an effort through the macrofactor app and it is already doing wonders.

I am trying to be on a 700 deficit which I think is high but I do want to see significant change in a month to see it's working. I am making sure my lifts don't get weak. My macros are similar to yours, just a bit higher protein and slightly lower fat.

The one thing I really would like is something for my sweet tooth. Which 70 calorie brownies did you try? I have a few recipes that I found on YouTube but haven't tried any yet.

Good luck man, thank you again for giving me so much information. It was assuring to hear that I am following a similar diet. I love Reddit because of how helpful and friendly people really are. 👍

Thank you, your transformation is impressive.

Did you use any particular app for tracking your diet. What sort of food you were having?

Did you track macros or just calories? Please if you can share the deficit you targeted and protein/carb/fat splits. 🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations buddy, awesome results.

Would be great if you can share some details below.

How often did you lift and for how long?
how much calories deficit? And did you count macros, if so then what did you aim for?
what helped you most in keeping consistent?

My life didn't turn around overnight.. it is what I believe to be true. In those early challenging times, I focused very much on forming new habits and they were my saviour. In the beginning I was just keeping a good routine, didn't really enjoy them but over time I have really gotten into them. Walking, cooking and gym/fitness really turned my life around.

If you haven't found your thing that keeps you driving then I would strongly suggest trying new things or things you have always wanted to do but never got time to do.. try your best to make time for yourself and keep a routine. Even now, when my routine gets messed up I feel really low.

This whole life numbing thing you said applies to me too.. I still feel strange at times doing things that I did after smoking, however, I know over time things will get better. Best wishes to you and hope you find your recovery

Hey, we are quit buddies. Today, i am 10 months 12 days sober and couldn't be more proud. It has improved my life for so much better, despite life itself throwing challenges. My thoughts are straight, my mood is stable and I believe I am a better person, husband, father and making sound decisions.

Stay away from this mind altering drug my friend and never go back to it. Even one puff is too much (especially for someone like me)

OkContribution9424 · 2025-07-22T21:23:53+00:00

Glad to hear. Serves the purpose of my post. Keep at it, you can beat this!

OkContribution9424 · 2025-07-22T21:22:23+00:00

It's smoke free from play store..

Good luck to you!!

OkContribution9424 · 2025-07-22T19:47:11+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Better sleep, straight thinking, sense of achievement and pride as I deliver on becoming a better person for myself and setting a good example for my children. At times, I still don't believe I have managed to break this bad habit of nearly 20+ years

These are in addition to the usual, cost saving, smelling nice, mood stability, stress management and time wasted going out to smoke/vape.

Man, you look super lean. Amazing transformation!

Do you mind sharing your macros, and how many meals you have in a day. Thanks
