A man has become an internet sensation after losing 88 pounds following a life-changing injury, becoming an inspiration to many on TikTok.
Johnny Cool, as he is known online (@johnnycool_01), gained widespread attention for his impressive weight loss journey, dropping from 264 pounds to 176 after a serious accident left him unable to exercise.
“I was told I’d most likely never have the same leg again,” he told Newsweek. “Hearing that, coupled with not being able to walk, made me upset, and I fell into depression.”
Using food as a coping mechanism while recovering from major surgery to fix his broken femur, which required a metal plate. Cool, from London, binged on fast food, sweet treats and sugary soda, consuming around 5,000 calories daily.
Now sharing his fitness success, Cool has revealed the three lifestyle changes that helped him transform his body, regularly attracting thousands—and sometimes millions—of views on social media.
