What is Black doing to lose weight?
Black has changed his diet completely. Not only diet he is attempting to change his eating habits completely. We will now discuss his diet plan and workout plan.
Diet Plan
Black is a huge lover of fast food. So we can imagine how hard it would be for him to restrain himself from eating such food. Which of course is good for his health.
He mentioned his struggle “The problem with me is that I am always super-hungry for macaroni and cheese and also cheeseburgers. And the worrying thing is that there is nothing I can do to stop myself. This is what I am figuring out to fight with right now.”
However, it did not seem that Black was satisfied with restraining himself. Because he could not just resist it.
For this purpose, he further went “I started a regimen of drugs that prevent me from eating, supposedly I just started the drugs and they are not working. So I am gonna up the dosage. The side effect, one can imagine, is it sucks out your personality and then you are just a zombie. But I’ve got to do something.” Indeed, this is a risky way to lose weight.
