Dr. Ricky, a skilled anaesthetist and pain medicine expert, has long told his patients how vital a healthy lifestyle is.

But behind the scenes, he struggled to follow his own advice. Long hours at work, a busy social life, and endless excuses kept him from committing to his own health.

“I was encouraging my patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat well, and exercise but the irony was that I wasn’t implementing my own suggestions in my own life.”

The Breaking Point: Turning 40 and Facing Reality

As Ricky approached his 40th birthday, years of neglect caught up with him.

He felt constant fatigue. His endurance dropped, and he could hardly run a mile before feeling drained.

His body ached, and he felt far older than his years.

But it wasn’t until he stood in front of the mirror on his milestone birthday that reality truly hit him.

“I was so embarrassed to look at my ‘dad bod’ and big protruding belly. I felt ashamed. That’s the moment I decided—it’s now or never.”

The Struggle of Yo-Yo Dieting and Lack of Accountability

Like many professionals, Ricky had tried everything to lose weight.

He dabbled in yo-yo diets before big events or holidays, only to regain the weight just as fast.

He joined online fitness programs, but he felt lost. The lack of structure and accountability was tough for him.

“I was left on my own. My biggest issue has always been accountability, and when you are on your own, you are not answerable to anyone.”

Without proper guidance, Ricky would start new training routines only to abandon them within weeks.

His relationship with food was another major challenge—he ate mindlessly, often consuming whatever was in front of him without considering whether he was actually hungry.

Enter RNT Fitness: A New Approach to Transformation

Determined to break the cycle, Ricky joined RNT Fitness. Unlike past attempts, this wasn’t about short-term fixes or extreme dieting—it was about building sustainable habits.

Through RNT’s structured methodology, Ricky learned to rethink his approach to food and exercise.

He realized that fats and carbs weren’t the enemy, and that balance, not restriction, was the key to long-term success.

“RNT has helped me massively to change my unhealthy relationship with food. I used to deprive myself for days, only to binge on weekends. Now, I understand the importance of all food groups and how to eat in a way that supports my goals.”

Overcoming Criticism and Staying Focused

Transformations don’t happen in isolation, and Ricky faced plenty of external doubts along the way.

Friends and family questioned his discipline, criticized his training and meal planning, and even suggested that he looked ill from the weight loss.

“There were days when their comments made me feel low, but I stayed focused on my goals. Funny enough, when they saw my photoshoot pictures, they were suddenly appreciative of my efforts—and even apologetic for their negativity.”

The Results: 17kg Down and a New Lease on Life

Ricky’s commitment paid off. He lost an incredible 17kg, achieving the lean, strong physique he had always dreamed of. But the impact went far beyond aesthetics.

“It’s not just about the change in my physical appearance—it’s the revitalized ‘new youth’ in me. I can run, play, and engage in activities with my little one that I couldn’t do before. My son has even been inspired by my transformation and hopes to exercise more as he grows.”

Even after his RNT photoshoot, Ricky has maintained his results. During a month-long holiday, he balanced his nutrition, enjoyed occasional treats, and returned without regaining a single kilo—something he once thought impossible.

A Life-Changing Investment

Reflecting on his journey, Ricky acknowledges that joining RNT was one of the best decisions he’s ever made.

“At first, I was sceptical about investing in myself. But looking back, we spend money on holidays without a second thought—why not on our health? RNT was worth every penny.”

From feeling like an “old, crumbly man” to becoming a role model for his son, Ricky has more energy and confidence than ever before.

If you’re ready to take control of your health like Ricky did, now is the time to take action.

The best investment you can make is in yourself.
