“The odd part here, I was still consistently working out 2 hours in the morning on the second pic,” he shared. “So I had to learn one of the biggest lessons the hard way: YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET!

“You can workout all you want, but if your eating habits won’t change, you won’t see changes.”

Doug emphasized the importance of shifting one’s mindset when it comes to fitness, listing two major takeaways from his transformation:

“Adjust your mindset. Workout to get stronger, not to lose weight. It’s to maintain/build muscles, especially as you hit your 30s and 40s, as our muscles start to deteriorate. Eat better, to look and feel better.”

Doug also highlighted the role of muscle-building and proper nutrition in maintaining youthfulness.

“I truly believe that building muscle and proper diet are keys to ‘slowing’ down the aging process,” he said.

Doug’s transformation has inspired many of his followers, proving that with the right approach to diet and exercise, significant changes are achievable at any age.
