Man reveals how he lost 50 kg by eating junk food in moderation

We all want to lose weight, but how can we resist that delicious slice of pizza or those tempting fries? Losing weight can be tough, especially when cravings for junk food strike. If you love indulging in your favourite treats but struggle to shed those extra kilos, you're not alone. One man has cracked the code to weight loss without giving up on the foods he loves.
Weight loss coach sheds 50kgs
Recently, a man who lost 50 kilograms shared that his secret to weight loss was enjoying junk food in moderation. In a recent Instagram video, weight loss coach Nick Geoppo discussed the pitfalls of restrictive diets. He pointed out that drastically cutting out certain foods can ultimately do more harm than good. Although such diets may lead to initial weight loss, they often set individuals up for failure in the long run. Mr Geoppo explained that once people stop following these strict regimens, it becomes all too easy to regain the lost weight, negating all their hard work.

Mr Geoppo also cautioned against adopting what he termed the 'alcoholic approach' to food. He said that if people try to cut out certain foods entirely, the cravings may become worse, almost like withdrawal symptoms from someone who has quit drinking alcohol. He said he lost 49.89 kg in 2019 and had kept it off since then. However, he said that before this, between 2013 and 2019, he had lost weight multiple times, only to regain more than 22 kg each time.

He highlighted some common restrictive diets like Keto, low-carb diets, intermittent fasting, and calorie counting through apps. Reflecting on his past mistakes with these diets, he stated that they often led him back to gaining weight instead of maintaining his progress. "The way you lose weight dictates how sustainable your results are," Mr Geoppo remarked. "I don't want to be in a restriction for the rest of my life." This sentiment underscores the importance of finding a balanced approach to eating.
Mr. Geoppo proposed that even junk foods can be part of healthy eating if only taken in moderation. Instead of completely banning these foods, he suggested that "it's better to have one or two slices of pizza instead of having three or four and to enjoy a single scoop of ice cream rather than the whole pint." That way, people could indulge their cravings without overindulging.
The secret of permanent weight loss, according to Mr Geoppo, lies in making changes that are sustainable and genuine instead of sticking to temporary diets. By developing a non-obsessive relationship with food, weight loss no longer has to be about placing extreme restrictions that make one look guilty for enjoyment of food products. Moderation and sustainable changes in lifestyle choices can lead people to long-lasting success in living a healthy body weight.
With the help of this approach, individuals can enjoy long-term success in maintaining their lost weight. His success proves that one must be able to go easy on himself and enjoy the occasional treat because that minimizes deprivation and helps the individual come to a healthier mindset on eating. Nick Geoppo is a good example that shows losing weight does not have to mean restrictive or guilty eating. Instead, practicing moderation and healthy lifestyle choices can lead to long-term success in maintaining a healthy weight.
