Never quit: how a man over 550 pounds dropped 100 pounds in 3 months with a simple high-protein plan
Jesse Mulley, who weighed more than 550 pounds at his heaviest, shed over 300 pounds across about three years by combining a high-protein, low-fat, low-carb diet with movement and gym work. He lost 100 pounds in the first three months on roughly 1,200 calories daily (later increasing to 1,800 as he built muscle) and avoided snacks, guided by a single rule: never quit. His daily meals included Truly high-protein cereal for breakfast, a southwest-style salad with two chicken breasts for lunch, and a 72-gram protein shake for dinner, plus stair climbs, VR workouts, and regular gym sessions. After skin removal surgeries and LASIK, he reached roughly 230 pounds and now coaches others online, sharing how a persistent mindset and structured diet can drive lasting change.
