His father’s death from stage 4 cancer was the wake-up call that led him to decide to change his life completely.
Joshua became so heavy that climbing a flight of stairs left him out of breath.
For eight months, he didn’t touch a pill or a miracle shake: he counted every calorie that entered his body and limited them to 1,700 a day, a number any nutritionist would consider strict but not extreme.
No crash fasts or surgeries. Just discipline repeated 240 times in a row, day after day, until the scale began to show 57 kilos less than at the start.
The change wasn’t just in the mirror. His clothes stopped fitting him, his face transformed to the point that friends didn’t recognize him on the street, and his entire body seemed to have been rebuilt from scratch.
What made him go viral wasn’t the diet itself, but the speed: in the time it takes to complete a pregnancy, Joshua became a different person.
