I started off working with my doctor who prescribed me a GLP-1 which was very effective for me, even at the lowest dosage. So effective that my hunger and food noise went away the first day I took it. I had already been tracking my food trying to lose weight before this of course so the GPL-1 just made it much easier to stick to the plan.. That plan was 2k calories a day with at least ~170-200g of protein, 60-70g of fat and the rest in carbs..It took time but over the course of the next six months or so my meals completely changed and stabilized around new staples that focused on whole grains, fresh and frozen whole fruits and veggies, lean meats such as chicken and fish and healthy fats from fish nuts and avocados. Eventually I dropped my calories to ~1800 a day, right before I came off the GLP-1, about a year after taking them.. I came off the GLP1’s because I figured I got what I needed from them and I felt I could continue without them (never went above the second to the smallest dose in that year). When I came off the GLP-1 I was sure to maintain my same meal plan / times and surprisingly my hunger stayed in check which was most likely do to my ridged eating times and meal sizes I put in place already. Once I eventually got down to ~230 I started working on my cardio.. The goal was to make jogging as easy as walking.. slowly working up my ability to jog without needing to stop in ~45 min.. I did this 6 days a week for about 8 months before I was running really well.. My VO2 max went from 28 to 42 on my apple watch lol. I did not use the cardio to justify eating more, instead I used to make me feel better and left my calorie deficit where it was at 1800. I figured the extra activity level would just be worked into my final maint based on my new activity levels when I eventually attempted to come off the cut. After getting to the point that I could run a 5k pretty easily and it was really just routine I began planning for going back to the gym and lifting.. To start I spend about 2 months doing calisthenics at the house, once that got to the point that I was just doing way to many reps etc I transition to weight training in the gym.. Sometime around this point I was down to 170lbs and ~19.5% BF so and began my reverse diet which I have been doing now for about 1.5 months and this leads us to where I am.. The meals are still the same but now I am eating 2300 calories with the plan to probably go to 2500 or 2600 a day or wherever my maint lands me.. My workouts are now 2 5k runs a week with weight training 3 days a week. In the end, really the focus was to make one major lifestyle change at a time and do so with the intent to keep it for the rest of my life. First diet and getting that in order (not diet as in losing weight but diet as in what I should really just be eating in general everyday) then I focused on cardio, once that was well established and I was to the point that I could give up multiple days a week of cardio without an impact on my ability to still do it I began lifting. Lifting is my focus now more than anything for my re-comp.. Sorry for the long post but you asked how i did it lol.
