Before that, I had grown into a stable, generous and mature "middle-aged" dentist with a short career. My "stability" comes from my "weight", more than 200 kilograms; My "width" comes from my "thickness", and my waist is 3 feet1; My maturity comes from slow steps; Small success in career is true: at work, a slightly mature appearance is certainly more convincing.
However, I am very dissatisfied with my state. In recent years, I have hardly participated in any regular exercise, but eating and drinking with my friends has become a common practice. My weight has climbed from 140 kg in college to more than 200 kg, which means I have grown by half! Once, I took out a photo of my college days and showed it to my friends, saying that this was one of my "cousins" and asked everyone to introduce him to a girlfriend. Everyone says this young man is good! No one recognized me, so sad!
Fatty liver has become more and more serious for three consecutive years; Transaminase is twice the normal value; Various blood lipid parameters began to increase in an all-round way, and some of them turned over several times; Blood pressure has reached the critical value of hypertension ... For the sake of health, I made a major decision, I want to lose weight! According to the measurement formula of "height-body fat", combined with my weight and waist circumference during my college years, I set a grand goal of reducing my weight to at least 160kg, trying to reduce it to 150kg, trying to keep it at 140 ~ 150kg, reducing my waist circumference to at least 2 feet 5, and reducing my body fat ratio.
Dieting is not bitter.
Losing weight is a job done purely for yourself. It is easier to achieve your goal by treating dieting as an interesting experience rather than a pain. Celery mixed with yuba, leek mixed with shredded tofu, and cabbage stewed with frozen tofu are the main dishes during my weight loss (taking food to work every day). Uninterrupted bean products provided me with enough protein. Eat one or two units of fruit every day, such as two apples or an apple and an orange; Add meat, milk and cereal once a day, for example, add 3 pieces of rabbit meat on Monday, a cup of skim milk on Tuesday and a steamed bread on Wednesday; Vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes can be appropriately increased. This kind of diet structure is nicknamed "rabbit" by many people, but "rabbit" thinks that natural, unadorned and fat-free food is the healthiest and most refreshing.
As soon as I smelled the meat in someone else's bowl, the greedy bug began to attack. So I just go for a walk after work at noon to avoid the time for everyone to eat. Unexpectedly, I found another secret to lose weight: exercise when you are hungry. Because at that time, the body should use the stored energy to raise blood sugar and support exercise. Once the blood sugar rises, it will eliminate hunger, so you will eat less after exercise.
Exercise is fun.
Rich and varied combinations of exercise forms can overcome dryness and impatience to some extent. In the whole stage of losing weight, I experienced walking, brisk walking, running, skipping rope, playing badminton, mountaineering, swimming, treadmills, mountaineering machines, rowing machines, bicycles, gym equipment and other sports.
In the first few days of losing weight, I jumped on the roof of the hospital because I was too fat to jump rope. There was no one there. I jumped for a while, had a rest and basked in the sun, and my heart was full of desire to slim down. One day it snowed, and I had an irresistible impulse to run in the snow, but I couldn't run at that time. I walked in the street for more than an hour. This is my first time to walk.
After a period of time, sports have become a part of life. My speed on the treadmill is getting faster and faster, and my time is getting longer and longer. I can run for 30 minutes at a speed of 15 km per hour. The speed of mountaineering is getting faster and faster, and it takes 25 minutes to climb the "ghost see sorrow" of Xiangshan.
During the period of losing weight, I have been exercising nonstop, that is, taking a walk at noon. I often go to Beihai Park.
At that time, at least one little nurse would accompany me to exercise every day. If you happen to have been to Beihai during that time, you will see the following scene: a fat man is rushing in front and a little girl is chasing behind. Fat people don't change every day, little girls change every day! Even the administrator of the park gate showed an envious expression.
Break through the platform period
Eight days ago, I lost eight pounds. On the ninth day, weighing scale's pointer stopped moving. Exercise is small, so come on, exercise is more intense.
On day 10, it was still 196kg, and it didn't move. I'm a little panicked. Is the method wrong? If it is really a platform period, I must break through! Get off work early and climb Xiangshan. Sunday is still 196 kg. I can't sit still. Maybe it's time to think of something else.
In the community, I first found a national chain of professional slimming beauty salons. Once the price is calculated, according to my situation, the whole course of treatment will cost more than 1000! I rushed to the door.
Several other beauty salons and hospitals all use acupuncture or acupoints, which is cheaper than losing weight by machines, but the principle is also to reduce appetite and detoxify at the same time. But my willpower can completely control my appetite, so I decided to work hard by myself. If I haven't lost weight in two days, I will try these methods again. Temporarily give up wandering between beauty salons and hospitals, climb mountains and go swimming. Finally, I lost weight for 4 days and 4 nights, and it was reduced to 195 kg! After that, I never looked back and hesitated. The so-called platform period means that weight stagnation after a few days of weight loss is an objective existence and a manifestation of physical adjustment. However, in order to achieve the goal, it is very important to maintain adequate weight loss, which is also very important to prevent rebound.
Lose weight, family
In the process of losing weight, my parents' attitude has changed greatly. At first, they were very supportive. "It's time to reduce it! Look at your fatty liver! " When I started to strictly control my diet, they thought I was too "harsh" on myself. They always showed me articles about diet and nutrition in newspapers and advised me to eat more. But I think nutrition is enough, but just right, but it must be strictly controlled in the process of losing weight. We argued a lot about it. Once we argued on the phone, and my father dropped the phone. I have to go back to my parents' house less often in order not to ruin my career with a big table of dishes cooked by the old couple. Later, the physical examination helped me. I took the report home and watched the projects that exceeded the standard return to normal. My parents laughed.
My wife's attitude is a little opposite to my parents': at first she thought I was talking nonsense and ignored me. A few days later, I saw that I was changing at the rate of losing a pound a day, and I became more and more interested in weighing and taking notes with me. She said that she would work with me to lose the extra six or seven pounds of meat. We eat "no abstinence" meals together and go to the gym together, with the same goal and in step. She lost six or seven pounds a month, but I continued to work hard, so she began to be fed up with my cooking and was dissatisfied for a long time. You know, I've always been a good cook at home.
My clothes are getting looser, I'm getting thinner and thinner, and I don't regret it at all.
Maybe it's because I learned a little clinical medicine during my college years. Although no one guided me, I succeeded!
The weight loss effect is very remarkable! One cycle every 12 days, ***6 cycles. Drop 1 kg every day for the first 8 days; Waist circumference decreases every 8 days 1 inch; Followed by the 4-day platform period, the weight and waist circumference remained unchanged. This speed lasted for nearly two months. On Christmas Day, the 56th day of losing weight, I achieved my primary goal: I lost more than 40 kilograms, down to 160 kilograms, and my waistline was reduced by 6 inches, down to 2' 5. Because of the rapid change, the old clothes have obviously become bigger.
After the success of the first battle, I appropriately increased animal protein and grains in my diet, but the speed of losing weight did not slow down. After a platform period and a period of 12 days, the weight dropped to 150 Jin, and the waist circumference dropped to 2' 3. At this point, the 72-day active weight loss process ended, and I began to gradually return to normal diet. Due to the healthy lifestyle that has been formed, my weight and waist circumference are still slowly declining for a period of time. Before the Spring Festival, all the indexes were reduced to the minimum: weight 144 kg, waist circumference 2' 2, body fat rate 18%, which has always been the body fat standard of athletes, and these indexes have not rebounded so far. What makes me more happy is that all the indexes of liver function, blood lipid and blood pressure have returned to normal, and fatty liver has disappeared. In the swimming competition held in the hospital, I won the 50-meter and 500-meter breaststroke championships!
