Endocrinologist Describes Five Secrets to Losing Weight for His Patient
My regular readers know that I have a favorite patient, 29 years old, who lost exactly 100 kilograms in 1 year and 9 months. This joyful event happened exactly a year ago, and although the treatment had already ended, the guy did not disappear from my field of vision.
And not so long ago, he came to do bioimpedance, and I noted with great joy that not only did he not gain weight, but he significantly improved his body composition. For example, it took another 2.5 kg of fat and 1 kg of muscle grew.
The patient continues to walk 6 km every day and has started going to the gym and swimming pool.
Now he weighs 67.5 kg, and came in the fall of 2019 with weighing 171 kg 800 g with a height of 170 cm.
What changed
At that time, he was mentally preparing for bariatric surgery - to cut the stomach. But I suggested try to lose weight naturally. Still, a young guy, there is still a lot to rewind.
During the treatment, visceral obesity disappeared, which suffocated all internal organs.
The blood test showed that prediabetes disappeared.
Significantly increased testosteronewithout the use of testosterone replacement therapy.
The patient has completely changed, from a disabled person who finds it difficult to move on his own two feet, he turned into an energetic young man. And his character improved dramatically - from a depressive fat man he became a nice guy, it became clear how smart and well-read he was.
What did we do?
1. Since the guy already had metabolic syndrome, he had to prescribe medication.
2. The guy quit his sedentary job and got a job as a supervisor: every morning he had to wind up to 10 km on his own two, bypassing retail outlets. Without this, there would be no success.
3. I was very careful with my diet. He fixed all deviations from the diet and then leveled it with physical education or nutrition.
4. He was constantly in contact with his family and friends, who were very supportive.
5. Improved sleep and water regime.
Were there times when he wanted to quit?
Of course.
But at that moment, I and all the other fans joined in - and the guy overcame a moment of weakness.
Now he only takes vitamins.
Recently met with classmates - and they did not recognize him.
