Man Looks Like Disney Prince After Losing 70 Lbs, Internet Goes Wild

As the weather starts to gradually get warmer, it’s the time of year when a lot of us start to think about what our summer bodies are going to look like.

It’s easy to get discouraged along that journey, and it always helps to see someone else whose hard work and persistence paid off with an incredible transformation!

For 26-year-old Connecticut resident Jeffrey Kendall, the inspiration to get fit came while he was taking care of his mother.

Jeff’s mom had suffered a brain aneurysm on July 4, 2015. In an interview with Love What Matters, he explained, “She was in a coma and rehab hospitals for 7 months until they deemed she had plateaued and was to be released since insurance would no longer cover her.”

“I was an overweight youth, I was bullied growing up. I’ve lived my life with body-image and confidence issues.”

Seeing everything his mother was going through gave Jeff a lot of perspective on “a world of self-pity and pain.” Coincidentally, a close friend who’d just gone through a painful breakup was starting an exercise regimen as a way to feel better and needed a workout buddy.

They started out with a light barbell workout and some daily pushups.

Eventually, he started waking up earlier and going for walks. As he got fitter, that turned into jogs and sprints. After nearly two years of dedication to his healthy lifestyle, Jeff lost 70 pounds!

Talk about a transformation! That is one handsome fella.

Not that he wasn’t already a pretty handsome guy, but he’s got model good looks now.

Naturally, it wasn’t long before the comparisons to Disney princes started rolling in, especially Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast.

Since first sharing his progress on Reddit, Jeff says he’s been overwhelmed by the positive response and attention he’s received.

Perhaps what makes Jeff even more beautiful as a person is his good heart. He stepped up to take care of his ailing mother when she was ill, a decision that’s not always easy for someone in their 20s to make. Here’s hoping he has every success in life, because he definitely deserves it.

5 Carbs That Can Actually Help You Lose Weight

There are a ton of fad diets out there, and a bunch of them claim to show you the path to weight loss (and sometimes nirvana, apparently) by completely giving up carbs. Which is silly to me, since carbs are actually the path to nirvana, in this girl’s opinions, but it also turn out that science has something else to say about carbs altogether.

Which is that they’re not evil, they’re part of a healthy, balanced diet, and we can’t actually survive without them.

So, if you’re wanting to lose weight and stay healthy, here are 5 carbs that can help you do it.

#5. Mushrooms

They pack a lot of nourishment into very few calories, which makes them an ideal diet food. Use them to stock up on amino acids, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and vitamins B, C, and D.

#4. Chickpeas

They contain protein and great amino acids that help promote a proper metabolism. Not only that, but you guys – hummus!

Nutritionists recommend replacing products high in saturated fats with chickpeas if you’re looking to drop pounds.

#3. Wild Rice

Wild rice is an aquatic grass, not a grain, and contains huge amounts of fiber, protein, and tryptophan. Don’t eat too much of it or you’ll be snoozing on the couch by 8pm!

#2. Corn

The protein and vitamins it contains promote healthy skin, hair, and nail in addition to contributing to fat burning and a boost of fiber.

Protip: Mixing corn and beans, both of which contain resistant starch, a carb that dodges digestion, can make it even easier to lose weight.

#1. Pasta

Yes, you can have pasta! Rejoice! Make sure it’s whole grain, because it contains complex carbs that give us energy and clean us of toxins in the process. Bonus points if you cook it al dente to preserve more of the good stuff.
