Jeffrey Kendall's transformation went viral on Reddit

Last month on Reddit, 26-year-old Jeffrey Kendall posted selfies before and after losing 70 pounds. As his post began to go viral, users responded with a compliment party: "Seriously, that dude has one epic jawline," one user wrote. And naturally, they couldn't handle his long, luxurious hair. In threads, several users shared an even more astute observation: Kendall's more recent photo bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain Disney prince — a comparison he wholly embraces on Instagram.The biggest difference between them: Kendall's transformation wasn't as simple as his animated twin's.While living in Connecticut to help his mom, who had suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2015, Kendall battled self-esteem issues and depression, he told Best Life. Things changed when a heartbroken friend asked Kendall to join him at the gym for motivation. They started lifting weights and doing push-ups every day, but Kendall also began walking in the mornings and doing Yoga With Adrienne sessions at night.On YouTube, he found high-intensity interval training and body weight workouts, adding them to his routine — but the biggest changes involved his diet: He stopped binge drinking on a weekly basis, he wrote on Reddit, and began eating dinner later so he'd feel satisfied enough to curb late-night snacking."It鈥檚 much easier to motivate yourself not to eat a cookie than to run a mile," he told Best Life. After two years, Kendall shed 70 pounds. "I鈥檝e lost a lot of weight, a lot of sadness, and a little facial hair," he wrote in his transformation post on Reddit. "I鈥檝e gained a whole new appreciation for life. Remember to always love yourself."
