Losing weight often seems like an insurmountable achievement for anyone, but with grit, determination, and discipline, it isn’t an impossible dream.
A man named Faiz recently went viral on social media for his thoughtful gesture of handing out free food to total strangers as a way to celebrate how far he’d come in his weight loss journey.
Gave out free food to celebrate
In a Threads post which has garnered over 20,000 likes at the time of writing, it showed Faiz riding his motorcycle with its basket laden with packets of food.
From daytime until nightfall, he’d stop for a moment to hand out a packet of food to motorists and homeless people by the roadside, at traffic lights, and business premises.
In the caption, he wrote that it was to celebrate his achievement of losing excess body weight, joking that he wanted to hold a “kenduri” with the public.
Lost 28kg
In a brief conversation with WeirdKaya, Faiz said his previous body weight of 125kg had sharply decreased to 97kg, adding that today marked the 120th day of his weight loss journey.
He revealed that a total of 100 packets containing bread, a bottle of mineral water, and a boxed drink were handed out to the public.
When asked what was the secret behind his weight loss, Faiz attributed to healthier eating habits, such as cutting down on sugary and deep fried foods, and implementing a calorie deficit for two months.
He also said he’s currently practicing the OMAD (One Meal a Day) diet, a strict 23:1 intermittent fasting plan where one fasts for 23 hours and consumes their entire day’s calories and nutrients within a single 1-hour window.
Faiz also encouraged those working to loss excessive weight to not give up on their efforts, saying:
You need to approach it with determination and a positive mindset. Your diet doesn’t have to be perfect; what matters is how you stay consistent and disciplined.
“It takes time, but remember, your efforts will never betray you. Good luck!”
