Summary

At a glance

Response was demonstrated. Sustainability was not established. Abdul lost 3.3 kg in the first 21 days of the July reset and reached a routine low of 88.9 kg on 5 September. The lowest weight was not held: the final reading on 2 October was 90.1 kg.

His waist came down by half an inch, his belly measurement did not change, and there is no matched body-composition scan, so fat loss cannot be verified.

Recurrent diarrhea, late work, short sleep, travel, a foot injury and changing plans broke the routine repeatedly. His effort and communication were consistently high; keeping every part of the plan steady at once was the difficulty.

The programme is being concluded rather than renewed. The stomach symptoms and unresolved lab findings now need an in-person medical assessment before any further fat-loss phase.

Baseline risk map · 1 July 2026

Where he started

Weight

94.0 kg after regain

Reset start, 1 July 2026 · 172.7 cm · age 36

Earlier coaching had twice reached the mid-80s and regained; the reset needed a result that would hold.

Central fat

Abdomen-led distribution

Lower abdomen, waist, flanks, lower back, lower chest

Central fat carries the most metabolic risk and was his main goal.

Kidney stone history

Left UVJ stone †

Prior CT: obstructing stone ~5×4 mm, mild hydroureter

Shaped hydration, sodium and protein limits throughout. Clearance is self-reported only.

Uric acid

8.8 mg/dL

September 2025, above range

Links to stone and joint risk; red meat and protein loading were limited.

Vitamins

B12 <148 · D 13.1

September 2025: severe B12 and vitamin D deficiency

Both affect energy, nerves, muscle and recovery; they need physician treatment.

Lipids

LDL 146 · non-HDL 174

September 2025, above desirable

Fried food, processed meat and heavy gravies were restricted.

† From intake record: the original CT report is not in the evidence package. Earlier lab values come from the dated September 2025 laboratory report.

Journey timeline

Historical coaching · before the reset †
Mar 2025 – Feb 2026

Response, then regain

Started around 89.2 kg, reached about 83–83.5 kg in June 2025, regained to about 90 kg by September, dropped again to 84.5–86.2 kg, then plateaued.

Apr – Jun 2026

Accident and regain

A bike accident cut movement; weight returned to about 90–91 kg. Motivation dropped when results did not match effort.

Active 90-day reset
1 – 21 Jul · Phase 1

Strong start

Measured home meals. 94.0 → 90.7 kg; weekly averages 93.03 → 91.93 → 91.00. A foot injury from jumping jacks (pain 7/10) meant impact work stopped.

21 Jul

First photos and tape

The first standardised checkpoint, taken after 3.3 kg had already gone. Waist 42 in, belly 43 in.

22 Jul – 12 Aug · Phase 2

Flat phase

A 1,475 kcal five-meal plan. Weekly averages held at 90.46 – 90.62 kg. Diet fatigue and bloating appeared.

13 Aug – 12 Sep · Phase 3

Original structure, renewed response

Weekly averages 91.24 → 89.35 kg. Routine low of 88.9 kg on 5 Sep; several 10,000+ step days; pain-free foot.

25 Aug – 30 Sep

Recurrent stomach illness

Watery diarrhea episodes in late August and through September, with dehydration and dizziness at the worst point. Labs drawn 23 Sep.

2 – 8 Oct

Final review

Final weight 90.1 kg. Full case review completed and the programme concluded with a medical handover.

† Historical weights come from earlier coaching records taken on different scales and conditions. They show direction only and are kept separate from reset-period values.

Weekly averages · active reset

Weight chart

Weekly averageStart and final readingLow reading during diarrhea86–87 kg target

Daily weight moves with water, salt, bowel contents and illness, so weekly averages are the trend that counts. The 88.8 kg reading came during acute diarrhea and is not a true low. Late-phase points (12–30 Sep) are weekly values during repeated illness.

April and September 2025 are historical results from before the reset. September 2026 blood count was reassuring: haemoglobin 15.6 g/dL, WBC 7.6, platelets 249. CRP was drawn during an active diarrhea episode; it confirms inflammation at that time but not its cause. The April 2025 LDL value differs between records and is shown as unconfirmed.

07
Status at closure

Medical review

Total cholesterol

Achieved

195 mg/dL, inside the desirable range.

Foot injury

Achieved

Pain-free by mid-September after impact work was removed and walking rebuilt gradually.

Kidney function

Stable

Creatinine 0.95 mg/dL and eGFR 106, reassuring.

Recurrent diarrhea and abdominal pain

Follow-up

A long-standing post-meal bowel pattern plus repeated acute episodes. No single cause is established; this needs a physician or gastroenterologist.

Inflammation (CRP 22.57)

Follow-up

Repeat after recovery.

Vitamin B12 and vitamin D

Follow-up

B12 still below 148 pg/mL; vitamin D fell to 10.1 ng/mL. Treatment by the physician.

Uric acid

Follow-up

8.3 mg/dL, still high.

LDL and non-HDL cholesterol

Follow-up

Both improved but remain above desirable.

Kidney stone

Follow-up

Not confirmed as resolved: no repeat imaging on file.

Medicines and supplements

Follow-up

Yohimbine and capsinoids were named; CLA was reported. Doses and dates are incomplete. A contribution to the stomach symptoms cannot be ruled out, but symptoms began before and continued after them. Any decision about medicines rests with the treating physician.

08
Gastrointestinal episodes · July – September 2026

Symptom chart

Bar height = most watery stools reported in a day

The pattern recurred four times after the bowel issue was first monitored in mid-August, and the client said the post-meal pattern "had been long". Each episode paused training and the normal plan.

Body photos

All body photographs in this report have been reproduced from the original submitted files without retouching, body modification, generative editing, background replacement or visual enhancement. Each photo is shown in full, uncropped.

What it shows. The frame looks slightly smaller and the upper waist modestly tighter. Shoulder and arm mass look reasonably preserved. The lower abdomen and lower chest are still clearly present. The September photo is taken closer, so the change should not be overstated.

Front, flexed11 September 2026

What it shows. A useful shoulder, arm and upper-back base to protect during any future fat loss. These are not before-and-after evidence, because the July photos were relaxed poses.

Visible improvement
  • Modest tightening through the upper waist, back and flanks
  • Some overall reduction in body size
  • Shoulders and upper-body frame look reasonably preserved
Still to improve
  • Lower abdomen and waist
  • Love-handle region and lower back
  • Lower chest

Modest progress is visible; a transformation-level change is not. There are no standardised photos from 1 July. Camera distance, lighting, posture, waistband height and breathing differ between dates. Body-fat percentage and fat or muscle change cannot be judged from photos.

11
Medical handover first

Next steps

1

Medical stabilisation

See a general physician, and a gastroenterologist where appropriate.

  • Stomach and bowel investigation as the physician advises
  • B12 and vitamin D treatment
  • Uric acid, lipids and kidney-stone follow-up
  • Repeat CRP after recovery
  • A full list of every medicine and supplement taken
2

Steady maintenance

At least two symptom-free weeks before any new calorie deficit.

  • Regular meals, no fasting
  • Normal hydration
  • Consistent sleep
  • Pain-free daily movement
3

Fat loss, only after clearance

One moderate plan held for 8–12 weeks.

  • 3–4 resistance sessions a week with loads recorded
  • Monthly waist checks and standard photos
  • A set plan for travel and office food
  • No crash diets, one-meal days or soup-only plans
  • No fat-loss medicines or supplements without physician review
  • Judge progress by weekly averages and waist, not single readings
  • A planned maintenance phase after any significant drop

Clinical conclusion

Final verdict

Partial success · Programme concluded

Your body responds. The result has not yet held.

Abdul, you achieved genuine progress: 3.3 kg in the first three weeks, a routine low in the 89 kg range, a smaller waist, better cholesterol and a pain-free foot. You stayed engaged and honest throughout. The final outcome did not become the lasting change in body composition we aimed for, and repeated stomach illness, late work, short sleep and travel kept breaking the routine.

The responsible next step is an in-person medical and gastrointestinal assessment, not another similar phase. This is a clinical closure, not a judgement of your effort. You will receive a complete handover so your next physician or coach starts from accurate data.
