From 290 to 250: How Darrius Mumford is Winning the Health Game
Losing weight isn’t a straight road—it’s a scenic route filled with ups, downs, and the occasional detour. Just ask Darrius Mumford. Dropping 40 pounds is no small feat, but Darrius isn’t stopping there. His story is one of discipline, consistency, and finding joy in the journey, not just the destination.
“I’m proud to say that I have reached a milestone in my life of getting into better health both mentally and physically. Discipline and consistency are the name of the game,” Darrius shares. “I came across John’s page at a time when I was really low. With his information, I was able to lose 40 pounds—from 290 to 250. I still have other milestones to reach, but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.”
Darrius Mumford’s 40-pound transformation: proof that consistency and discipline make all the difference!
The Power of Progress
Darrius’s success didn’t happen overnight—it was the result of sticking to habits that fit his lifestyle. Together, we designed a sustainable food plan that didn’t feel like a punishment. Instead, we focused on meals he loved, structured in a way that hit his protein and calorie goals while still being enjoyable.
And then there’s “The Big 5”:
Water: Proper hydration is key. Lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) doesn’t happen without water.
Steps: Daily movement made his calorie deficit achievable without feeling like a chore.
Protein: Protein was a cornerstone of his diet to fuel muscle and keep hunger in check.
Caloric Balance: Staying within his caloric limit while indulging occasionally kept things flexible and sustainable.
Strength Training: Darrius followed a workout split tailored to his fitness level (see below for an example of what that looks like!).
Staying the Course
Darrius admits there were tough days, but he credits his refusal to give up as his biggest win. “Consistency doesn’t mean perfection,” he says. “It means showing up more often than not.”
A Peek at His Plan
We set up Darrius’s meal structure to include plenty of protein-packed, satisfying foods. Here’s a quick look:
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with berries and chia seeds.
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with quinoa and avocado.
Dinner: Roasted salmon with veggies and sweet potatoes.
