Jonas Joshua says that poor eating habits and the sedentary lifestyle of being a full-time poker player caused him to gain weight.
Wellness Wins is an original Yahoo series that shares the inspiring stories of people who have shed pounds healthfully.
Jonas Joshua is 5’10” tall and currently weighs 175 pounds. In 2017, he was able to cultivate a healthier lifestyle through a keto diet and exercise. This is his weight-loss story, as told to Yahoo Lifestyle.I was a normal weight until my early 20s. At that point, I was playing poker full time for income, and it's a pretty sedentary lifestyle. Combine that with bad nutritional choices, and you start to add weight. Over the years, it added up.
I ate protein powder and an Atkins bar for breakfast. I’d have two Premier Protein shakes throughout the day and a bunch of low-carb snacks. Dinner was something like steak and asparagus. I was eating between 1,300-1,800 calories a day during this period. I exercised using an in-home gym with a Precor elliptical and a Bowflex.After the weight loss, I felt great. My knees didn't hurt as much from all the extra weight. I found out there were all sorts of ancillary benefits to weight loss.
With exercise, I've shifted from focusing on cardio to strength training over the past four months. And I try to lift heavy weights, using compound movements. My results keep me motivated.Changing goals from losing weight to building muscle requires being mindful that the latter often means weight gain , but old habits die hard. Another struggle is getting enough protein each day.
