AN online trainer and blogger revealed that he ate junk food for a full year to purposely gain 100 pounds.

And despite showing his followers how to lose that same amount of weight, many slammed him as problematic.

In 2021, at the beginning of his experiment, Dmitry Azovsky revealed that he weighed 354 lbs.

After a year of eating healthy and working out, he came down to 225 lbs.

As he started his weight loss journey during the Covid-19 pandemic, he had to train from home because gyms were still not open yet.

“The first months were the hardest because I was very overweight,” he said.

In April 2022, he claimed to have lost 115 lbs from training and eating in a caloric deficit.

“I continue to get into my best shape,” he said.

“Everything is possible in life, the main thing is to set a goal.”

Azovsky claimed he wanted to gain the weight just to show people how they can lose it, saying: “I deliberately ate junk food for a whole year to gain 100 lbs.”

“You can lose weight in any conditions,” he told his followers.

Though he was posting his journey in hopes of inspiring others who want to lose weight, he got the opposite response and trolls called him out for being out of touch.

One user said: “Friendly reminder: retraining is easier than starting from scratch.

“Your own journey doesn’t have to (and probably won’t) look like this.

“The caption is just false and problematic.”

Another viewer said: “There are MANY factors that come into play when trying to lose weight.

“This is cruel saying that anyone can do it so easily.”
