Ihave been on every diet out there. I lost weight before but never managed tokeep it off. I spent money going on all the new diets and I was frustrated,Sam tells Move!.
Heonly started losing weight and keeping it off when he changed his lifestyle to starteating well and exercising.
The 90 DayMovement started in January 2019 with the #90DaysWithoutSugar challenge. I didmy own experiment of going 90 days without processed sugar and foods. I managedto lose 20kg in four months. People started DMing me and asking about thesecret behind my weight loss. I created the #90DaysWithoutSugar programme toanswer people and help as many as I can to lose weight, he adds.
The focus of the #90DaysWithoutSugar challenge is mainly weightloss and healthy living.
At the beginning of the year, #FetchYourBody2020 rose to the topof the trends list for those who want to lose body fat or defeat sugaraddiction. It is about people working on fetching their dream bodies. Whetherthat means running a marathon, benching 200kg or forming a six-pack.
