When Slik Talk reappeared on YouTube last week, his audience was stunned by his physical transformation, as he has clearly shed some kilos.

The controversial YouTuber has opened up about his weight loss journey, sharing the challenges he faced and the strategies that helped him succeed.

One of them being the backlash he received after he lost a boxing match to Cassper Nyovest in 2022, he was harshly judged for how he looked and performed in the ring.

‘’I went to a boxing match, I lost and I didn’t like the way I looked,’’ says Slik Talk.

He shares how comments from people provoked him to get fit and look better, emphasising that it had nothing to do with mental health, but the fact that hearing the truth from others helps one to do better.

During his time away from the spotlight, he embarked on a transformative journey without a personal trainer as he felt one would slow him down.

The vocal YouTuber adopted a healthier lifestyle, incorporating regular exercise six days a week.

‘’Be conscious of what you put in your body,’’ he says.

Slik Talk advises his followers who are on the same journey to watch what they eat and go on regular walks as it will help them shed off some calories.

His honesty and vulnerability resonated with his viewers, he inspired others to pursue their own health goals.

‘’Inspirational. I’m on the same journey and I’m almost at my goal weight,’’ says Soulrebel on YouTube.

This update was met with overwhelming support and admiration.

His content has now evolved to include personal achievements about his weight loss experience, along with practical tips and motivational advice.
