Show Notes

In this episode, I open up about my experience with a weight loss journey that involved following what I now refer to as an MLM starvation cult. From December 26th to May 8th, I managed to shed around 43 pounds by purchasing their pre-packaged meals and consuming them for most of my meals, with the occasional salad as a variation. It was undeniably effective in terms of weight loss, but it soon became apparent that this approach was neither financially sustainable nor aligned with my desired lifestyle. I came to the realization that I wanted to not only lose weight but also embrace a healthier lifestyle and relish in the enjoyment of my meals. The idea of relying solely on packaged food containing soy didn't sit well with me. Determined to find an alternative that would set me on the right path, I embarked on a quest to discover a more suitable method. Although I experienced significant progress, I was still discontent with my overall well-being and desired more than just a reduction in weight. My curiosity led me to stumble upon GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic, which captured my interest. Despite my intrigue, I had not yet taken the leap to try these medications. In April, everything changed when I connected with someone who provided valuable guidance and assistance in understanding the next steps of my journey. It was a pivotal moment that helped shape my path towards a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Be sure to tune in to tomorrow's episode where I delve deeper into this transformative encounter. As a preview, I'll even share a picture of my progress after shedding the initial 40 pounds on my Instagram. Stay tuned for more life-changing insights!

What is Build in Public Daily?

In this show, we share the struggles and challenges of growing and building stuff.

Called plunge thoughts so from

december 26th until

may 8th i lost about

43 pounds or so and i

did this using what i

like to call an mlm starvation cult now

i don't want to talk bad about other people so if you DM me I'll tell you what

program it was but I call it an MLM starvation cult because you basically had

to buy their food eat only their food for most of your meals and then have one

really basically a salad,

every day now this was it worked I lost like 40 plus pounds that was good the

The problem is, though, that it wasn't sustainable.

It wasn't sustainable financially, and it wasn't sustainable for how I wanted to live my life.

Like, I didn't want to eat packaged food with a ton of soy in it.

I wanted to be able to eat healthy and enjoy what I was eating.

So I felt like what I needed was a kickstart, something that I knew would get

me going and get me moving in the right direction.

So I'll share a picture on my Instagram of what I looked like around finishing that first 40 pounds.

And it wasn't great. I mean, I was still really fat. I just weighed less.

And that wasn't what I was going for.

I didn't want to just weigh less. I wanted to be healthy.

And I felt like that was not helping me be healthy it

was helping me way less so I've

like a lot of people been learning about these GLP-1

weight loss drugs like ozempic and

others and and I haven't done any of those but it's interesting to hear what

they're capable of doing so for this MLM starvation cult I was I was was eating

like 1,000 to 1,200 calories every day,

all processed packaged food.

And while it got me started and definitely made that first 40 pounds go really

quick, I just knew that I couldn't keep doing it.

So then at the end of April, I met someone who helped me figure out the next step.

And I'll share more about that tomorrow.
