A man who ate 4,000 calories a day has lost a whopping 11 stone and documented his journey - by taking a selfie every day. <br /><br />Bishoi Khella, 29, realised he needed to lose weight after a holiday with friends in Mexico where he struggled to take part in walks or jet-skiing activities.<br /><br />Weighing over 350lbs when he came back from his trip, Bishoi thought "this is it enough of this."<br /><br />Bishoi put his foot down and started an intense exercise regime of two 45-minute workouts every day, a run in the morning and a gym session in the evening.<br /><br />Two years on, Bishoi now weighs 165lbs and shows off his incredible transformation and shredded abs.<br /><br />Bishoi, who lives in Toronto, Canada, said: "I had just come back from a trip to Mexico. <br /><br />"A trip all my friends absolutely had a blast on and I was sitting there thinking how? I hated it.<br /><br />"It was the height of covid and the resorts were empty - there wasn't much partying going on.<br /><br />"And so instead of the main focus of the trip being chilling in a pool drinking, they made the most of it by doing activities like jet skiing, walks on the beach - things I couldn't enjoy doing because everything was a struggle."<br /><br />Bishoi, a business owner, would eat takeaway food every day and even gorge on burgers, pizzas and wings for breakfast - consuming 4,000 calories most days.<br /><br />But he knew something needed to change quickly before his health took a turn for the worse.<br /><br />In 2018, Bishop had stroke scare, which turned out to be a panic attack, but the struggle he experienced on holiday was the real turning point.<br /><br />Bushoi finally decided to buckle down when he returned and stuck to a strict exercise routine, which included two workouts a day. <br /><br />He said: "[There were] two 45-minute workouts a day, one of them had to be outside.<br /><br />"I drank a gallon of water, read 10 pages of a self-development book, took a daily progress picture, and had no alcohol or cheat meals for 75 straight days.<br /><br />"Yes that included weekends.<br /><br />"Back when I was 350lbs, I’d wake up and do my first workout which was an outdoor 'run.'<br /><br />"I say 'run' because I couldn’t go very far, maybe a couple of minutes before I had to stop to catch my breath.<br /><br />"I’d run as far as I could until I couldn’t catch my breath anymore, walk for a bit and then pick it back up until the 45 minutes were up.<br /><br />"I’d only cover about 5 km in 50 minutes."<br /><br />It was the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns when Bishoi started his fitness journey, but this didn't deter him in anyway.<br /><br />He said: "At the time, gyms were closed in Canada because of Covid.<br /><br />"So for my second evening workout, I got one of those annual city bike share passes and would bike around the city for 45 minutes.<br /><br />"As soon as the gyms opened back up, I dropped the bike and weight trained instead."<br /><br />Bishoi initially intended to stick to his exercise routine for 75 days but when he started to see results, he decided to carry on. <br /><br />He said: "I just continued that on for the better part of two years. <br /><br />"I’d finish a phase, take a weekend off and jump right back into it. <br /><br />"During those two years I probably took a total of 30 days off."<br /> <br />Bishoi now weighs 165lbs and runs 10km nearly every morning and hit the gym in the evening.<br /><br />He has no plans on stopping now and has praised the "mental toughness" that he has developed since starting his fitness journey.<br /><br />"My ultimate goal would be to run a 100k ultramarathon. <br /><br />"Believe it or not, I still to this day hate running. <br /><br />"That’s why I do it every single day – to strengthen my mind."
