Ring Fit Adventure Player Shows Off His Healthy Transformation After One Month

I just got the game and I'm loving it so far. I didn't get it to lose weight so much as to just be heart healthy and exercise but I'm probably going to end up doing both anyway.

I just need a little more weight lost before I'm good according to my doc.

One thing to remember though is that weight-loss is like, 90% diet. I haven't swapped back to my healthy diet since I was on Christmas break, time to get back on it.

Thats awesome! Way to go, dude!

I saw Ring Fit in stock at a local store and picked it up on a whim. I love it. I genuinely enjoy the game and the exercises and am looking forward to playing again tomorrow. Good stuff

I'm looking forward to playing my copy. There's a big demo of Ring Fit Adventure at the Nintendo Tokyo store right now. 😊

Did the author of this piece do any fact checking before posting? The story is a fake and if you actually check the picture you’ll see its two different guys, unless the guy had a nose job in the same month he lost all that weight.

I'm skinny fat so I doubt I'll see a ton of physical change, but I do it about 45 minutes about 4 times a week and I can tell it makes a huge difference with how I feel. Such an awesome game!

I hope Brain Training will also helps me lose some of that fat from my brain.

@MajorBritten exactly what I was thinking.

Everybody who doesn't know, article does mention diet, but your can't lose weight, or lose it permanently unless you change your eating lifestyle. Body builders will tell you a cliche like, "its 80% diet". Exercise alone will never give you the results your want. If your want results from Ring Fit, would like to get more fit, lose weight, you must eat well too.

The guy that lost weight in the article made a serious commitment to planned dietary guidelines.

Granted increasing your exercise is good.

So, this isn't trolling, this is what your doctor, dietitian, workout coach, or body builder will tell you. That's the science: cut sugar, up your fiber, increase veggies & fruit, and make your own food, cut processed foods (the more processed foods you cut, the better). And know that some people's bodies are wired to respond more or less to the same input.

@MajorBritten Yeah I'm a bit skeptical as well. The nose and mouth look different sizes/shapes, even with the weird grimace or smile Mr. Stained Shirt is making.

This technique, invented by a stay-at-home mother, will shock you.

@MajorBritten @Raccoonius the guys ears look consistent. His one ear sticks out. If you cut alcohol & sugary drinks, your face will get thiner too, or look less swollen. So, it could be him? If it is him, he also got paid to lose the weight. The two photos do look pretty different, though.

@Dezzy stay at home mom played ring fir for 50 hours. You won't believe what happened next!

@Kalmaro Yeah, I was just thinking that this is another "Subway Guy" situation where the person made more than one change to his lifestyle to lose weight.

@Woomy_NNYes That's what I did. I did keto for a few months and the weight just fell off, and I wasn't exercising at all. I walked outside for about half an hour some days but there's no way that was doing much.

I used to be confused and think you could stomach crunch your way to abs. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.

@Elvie Yeah, there's sooo much more to losing weight than "I did jumping Jack's for an hour every day, now look at me!"

I blame One Punch Man.

Joking aside, diet is everything, it really makes a massive difference.

@Woomy_NNYes Even if his face looked less swollen it wouldn't change the shape of his nose or his hair. His skin colour is different as well. Its a different guy.

@Kalmaro yea abs are very body fat related.

@Raccoonius @Woomy_NNYes @MajorBritten
https://m.facebook.com/migui.gabriel

Found his Facebook page. I'm not sure if I'm convinced everything is legit. He has pics from November that look like his current pictures now.

I just kept following the sources from here to Facebook. What a ride.

@MajorBritten hmm, that nose does look different. The light sources are different. Pic on right is indoor fluorescent lights. Left is outdoors. Camera white balance can also affect the color. But i think you could be right. That nose looks very different.

Hm...
I wonder if Ring Fit Adventures can built my six pack abs by keep pushing the ring on my abs during Defense mode. 😅

@YozenFroghurt At the very least, he's working out his heart.

@Kalmaro I’ll agree diet is more important than exercise for weight loss, but exercise is still a big thing. My diet didn’t change after I finished my undergrad... but I was no longer walking around campus every day. I gained 30 pounds. Don’t underestimate how much a sedentary lifestyle can affect weight. You can eat quite healthy but if you don’t at least walk every day, you won’t be losing much (unless you have a really good metabolism). Have to burn the calories somehow.

Fake, different nose, hair colour and hair style

@ShadJV The punt of exercises you'd have to do to burn all your fat away is pretty high.

For me it was just going int Keto and making my body burn the fat on it's own. That got me some results pretty quickly, it was almost scary.

@Anti-Matter Ring Fit +DDR = totally siick abs, bro!

Ring Fit fixed his vision. Amazing.

@MajorBritten great journalists here at nintendolife

Comments about how diet is key to weightloss make me happy. Someone mentioned keto, it's not a magic pill, your kcals still need to be below your maintenance to lose weight so if it worked, that is what happened. Exercise (I mean weights, really) is important to at least maintain muscles in a calorie deficit, otherwise you will waste a bit away and since they are a big part of your calorie-burning machine, you might end up with a lower maintenance than before you started, which is how we get the yo-yo effect.

Any movement is good if there is none, so if Ring Fit is a fun way to get someone moving, fantastic. To become and stay healthy, lean and strong, you need a bit more than that, though.

@ShadJV Even if it created only a 100-200 kcal difference, over time it will pile on as fat. However, creating a deficit through exercise has always been overemphasised. Selling new dynamic classes etc. is much sexier for the imagination than having less food on your plate, and always will be. While it can certainly do that, what I believe to be a good, healthy and sustainable way of thinking about this is: create deficit for weightloss through food but exercise for health, wellbeing, building and/or maintaining muscle and fun.

I were smart enough to get Ring Fit Adventure at launch just in case of shortages after launch.

The guy in the photo could lose 10 lbs by having a haircut.

Seriously? Look at his nose lads, it's two different people!

After 3 months of being all over the place, then being ill last week I’m finally getting stuff done. Two hours of weights yesterday. Core training today. Beach tomorrow. And depending how that goes, out for a run tomorrow night.
Also, gotta eat more to offset all that. Yay. 😋🍴

@Fandabidozi Beach?! 😲

Ah, you live in Australia... 😋

Keep up the good work!

It even improved his vision! Wow!

I assure you he did it with diet. I use ring fit 2 hours a day and you could never tell. Ive burned 15,000 calories which is only a mere 4 lbs.

There are plenty of extreme weight losses on reedits ring fit but seems like it's always from keto diet.

Ring Fit also changed the part in his hair

@ShadJV Diet is key to losing weight. Exercise is important for maintaining your weight (while eating cheesecake!)

@Woomy_NNYes Oh man, if DDR could get you a six pack I would've been rocking them in the early 2000s. Instead my six pack came from Budweiser.

Good for him! That's really awesome to see, still haven't gotten Ring Fit Adventure but definitely plan to in the future

With the keyword being diet. I once lost 8 kg by only driving my car as usual. I might have counted calories as well during that time, but who cares? It was the car!

Cant really see any difference.

@finalstan I mentioned Keto and I can absolutely recommend it. I just had to watch my net carbs for 3 months and the weight loss was pretty noticeable. It almost felt like cheating since I wasn't really eating less on purpose.

I did end up eating less though since I wasn't snacking as much and fasting became a thing.

@EVIL-C demo is pretty pointless as you would still need ring fit device in order to use it?

@NoTinderLife maybe I will gain some brain cells instead of them dying?

Hey, okay I know those sources changed from last night, I mentioned that Facebook source way before you guys did and the article was even taken down! I demam a cookie for my hard work.

One thing I notice about transformation articles or photos in general, is there will always be someone looking to reinforce their own poor lifestyle choices by tearing down others any way they can muster in the comments. It's pathetic.

With this photo in particular, posture goes a long way in making someone appear slimmer. RFA could have most assuredly played a role in improving this chap's posture thus making him look more fit than his 30 days before pic. At the very least, RFA deserves that credit. At most, it could have strengthened his muscles.

I consider my own weight training to be intermediate to advanced, and foolishly, I attempted the game on hard mode. After the 1st stage, I was exhausted! There is no doubt that RFA DOES work. But that all depends on the user's own amount of effort and consistency. And diet.

Btw, bravo to this fellow for putting himself out there. I hope to see more of these success stories.

@huyi It's a store demo. Customers can try RFA (with Ring-con) for free and see if they like it. You'll see it in the clip. 🙂 https://youtu.be/QvgAHPLEZUc

I am waiting for a price drop. It might not happen.

@Elvie Subway Guy made at LEAST one too many changes to his lifestyle recently and went to jail for it.

I just ordered Ring Fit Adventure just by viewing this post & i also know strict diet is a must for losing weight....Cant wait

@MajorBritten yeah l think it's fake

Ring Fit is an AMAZING exercise-game hybrid. I do daily AM swimming for my daily exercise... and then use Ring Fit as my SUPPLEMENTAL bonus exercise calisthenics in the evening after work (assuming I don't fall comatose after work). It is really great for having additional exercise in evening for fun and not have to go to a gym. It is not a primary exercise program but is great for motivating me to do extra exercise since I am also playing a game.

I thought most Switch owners have no time to play at home 🤔😉

"combination of proper diet and exercise."

Basically all you need. Get off on 59th Columbus Circle and walk the rest to work on 36th (or on my way home)... do not eat any of the tourist trap crap food in midtown (Exercise Bike if working from home)

But My motivation is keeping my same suite size... 😅

I've been using/playing Ring Fit Adventure for about 45 days now. Lost 4 lbs. (Currently 161 lbs., 49 years old, male.) I'm definitely seeing muscle definition that wasn't there before.

Note that I use it for about 1/2 an hour of total exercise time 6 days a week. I started out at around 11 difficulty and gradually increased that to maximum (30) as I got used to it.

Metabolisms are different; for some it's easy; others more difficult. You can "get there" by being sensible about diet and exercise. You don't need to punish yourself by eating rabbit food all the time but don't eat junk food all the time either. Just take it slow and work at it. It's as much a motivational game as it is physical.

@LaFway People can change their hair color and style Also the nose isn't that different.

Is that really the same person? Just looking at the nose, the profile does not look the same

@Damo Nope. My nose looks the same because it's the same nose. Those two people have different noses.

Awesome "journalism".

@MajorBritten Holy moly you're right. The tip of the nose is completely different from each other. How did the writer not see this?

I know I need to get this. 80 bucks is a bit steep for me though.

It’s exhausting just setting your preferences and navigatng the menus.

It's worth saying as an Asian person that swelling tends to do a lot to change facial appearance which for us already has a thicker dermis with higher collagen levels and a less angular look than others. I've literally seen my nose swell to the point where I look like a different person. This guy's ears, chin, hands, eyebrows etc look the same. I definitely think it is the same guy.

Also we don't need anyone to tell us that diet and exercise together produce the best result. It already said he watched his diet as anyone would suggest. So RFA as an alternative to jogging outside or going to the gym seems totally reasonable to see some positive results, and it may have worked for this person. I might get it now that it's too cold to run outside!

Did both guys in the photos play Ring Fit?

I haven’t played mine much, but am meaning too. I bodysurf and surf as often as I can which keeps me healthy, but for weight loss it’s all about what you stick in your mouth - and over these Christmas holidays, it’s been far too much food and a lot of booze...

Run, don't walk!
No, Money down.
Ring Fit face lifts, guaranteed!
(not a guarantee)

Looks like the same person in both photos to me. Angle of face and lighting can can make things look a bit different and to me the shape of his nose looks the same in both pictures if you take things like that in account. Plus a slimmer face minus the glasses could also make the nose appear different but to me it looks like the same nose. I don't think I would have to go far to find two pictures of me and that make me appear to be two different people. Again lighting, angle and facial expressions can drastically alter your appearance, I've had pictures of myself that looked so drastically like a different person that it became a running joke in my family that whenever a camera flashed my face distorted.

@EVIL-C ah retail demo, should have stated it before but yeah the demo alone wouldn't make any sense.

@huyi I did state it before. What's not to understand about "There's a big demo of Ring Fit Adventure at the Nintendo Tokyo store right now."? 🤔

I clearly said demo, and I clearly said where it was; at the Nintendo Tokyo store. I did not say "eshop demo" or "downloadable demo", etc... I even posted a link with video evidence. 😳

Some people are being ridiculous in this thread. "His hair style is different." "Oh it fixed his vision? "

We seriously have never heard of hair cuts and contacts?

I do get so sweat playing the Ringfit. The rest is just my regular workout. This guy may have played Ringfit for tens of hours almost everyday perhaps.

That's B.S.! It's not even the same guy. If your goal is to take pictures to prove that you lost weight, then why change the hairstyle and get a nose job? It's two completely different guys!

@Kisame83 If you go out and change your hairstyle, get contacts, and a nose job all in one month, how the heck are people supposed to recognize you after losing all that weight on top of that??? It's two different guys. If you were trying to prove that a fitness game helped you lost all that weight, why would you alter yourself to a point that you look like someone else?

Good for him. I'm interested in this game, just not $70 interested.

Much like Labo, I expect this game to be on a Target encap sooner rather than later.

RING FIT = Lose the glasses!

I don't have much doubt that he did indeed lose the weight, but I do question just how much of it had to do with ring fit and how much was a change in diet and traditional exercise.

Good for him though! I should follow his example! I certain need it!

I wont because I lack the motivation, but I should. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. What's step two? I've known I'm overweight and lacked the motivation to do anything about it for years.

@Kalmaro Totally agree. I got it to get into better shape. Several of my muscles were sore just after a few sessions (and on an easier mode). Both a statement of how effective the game is and how out of shape I am in.

Unless his eyes, nose and skin tone have all dramatically changed in the span of just 30 days, those guys in the photos are two completely different people.

@Tandy255 Yeah there's no denying that it gets you working out. The pain I'm feeling is very real...

@Heavyarms55

Overcome Denial
Getting Support
Rewarding Yourself
Change Your Life
Reap The Benefits

That's one list I found.

He looks nothing like his sister.

It's so clearly the same person! His nose looks the same too if you put glasses on the second picture. His hair is even the same style but the second one seems to have been taken in a mirror of a lift so the parting is on the other side.

I'm starting to believe in ring fit. Granted, I doubt it will get me super buffed but I'm using it in combination with still hitting the gym 2-3 times a week. I'm feeling it so that's a sign I guess?

I really want this.

Seems like it's working for people

FAKE NEWS! In the first picture, he's wearing a yellow shirt and in the second picture he's wearing a green one. Clearly not the same guy!

I've been trying to buy this game but cannot seem to find it anywhere

Completely out of stock at the moment

Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain a copy of the game in the UK. It's out of stock everywhere! Anyone with it in stock is charging at least £40.00 more than the rrp due to the limited stock , and I refuse to pay more than what Nintendo themselves are charging.

In the end I opted for the Fitness Boxing alongside daily yoga. For anyone else considering Fitness Boxing it's a great cardio workout and you definitely work up a sweat.

fake its been proven it is and do nintendolife really think the guy will tell you the truth. shape of eyes , size of nose and other features have changed, yes lsoing weight your face will change but not like this. also to lose this much weight a prober diet is needed. misleading amd some what dangerous artilcle . losing this much weight you need a good diet etc without it it could be dangerous

@suikoden proven? Source?

The key to losing weight is 80% diet / 20% exercise. I bought Ring Fit Adventure last week and played it 4 days in a row. After that I had to take a break because of pain in my right shoulder (too much Overhead Press exercises?). My calf muscles in my legs are sore and on fire now. I knew I was out of shape but WOW, I've really let myself go. I'm planning on playing again today after work - hopefully it will be a good workout.

Weight loss that rapid would, I think, be worrisome more than celebratory. If legit that's a bit too massive a transformation in 30 days to be healthy, or caused by healthy changes.

@bezerker99 I wish it was exercise 80%. I love exercising 💪 I also love eating 🍩

@Investor9872 you must be super confused when Clark Kent takes off his glasses.

He removed his glasses and got a hair cut and you make it sound like he's running an op in Mission Impossible. And there's no proof of any nose job. Some people when they put on weight get puffy in the face, and it can flare your nose too. It happened to me. I've lost twenty lbs over the last few months, and one of the catalyst was a coworker telling me how my face looked "swollen." And a small portion of the fat lost came from the sides of my nose. I'm standing in the bathroom right now and if I tilt my head a little it alters the profile.

But you guys keep feeling like you've cracked an episode of unsolved mysteries because this guy got a hair cut. Seriously, the guy has a public Facebook, and he clearly changes his hair and color often.

@NEStalgia when you start, if you were sedentary beforehand, you can see a rapid change. Especially if you had any circulation issues and were carrying water weight. I've experienced that first hand. It levels off.

Awesome! You are looking good! 👍

@suikoden That is true, but there's nothing to say he didn't try and change his diet while sticking to his new exercise regimen.
