Bryan O'Keeffe decided to cut ties with his family and friends and took to the wilderness in Mallorca for seven months to lose excess body weight. The Irish man came home 63 kg lighter and revealed his new avatar to his friends and family on Thanksgiving.
Mr Keefe shared his story in an Instagram post. He documented his journey and captured his friends and family members' surprised reactions. The video has amassed over 2 million views and over 2 lakh likes and several comments.
In the post, Mr Keefe shared that he has been trying to lose weight for the last 15 years and has tried every diet and exercise fad until he discovered David Goggins' book, Can't Hurt Me, which really helped him in his weight loss journey. Elaborating on the book's concept, he wrote, "One of the book's concepts is completing an analysis of your failures. I realised that (like most of us), I have a weakness for my friends and family. When my friends go out for drinks or my family go out for dinner, I want to be there. So I decided to move out to the wilderness and go off the grid where I could have no excuses. I called my friends and family and told them I wouldn't be talking to them and got to work."
