Fat people before and after losing weight. Incredible weight loss stories from ex-fat men

26.12.2019

Sometimes it is difficult to imagine that the human body can change its volumes to incredible sizes. It is even more difficult to believe in pictures of the results of weight loss, when people change beyond recognition and share their story. After all, they look amazing.

Real stories of losing weight by 30-40 kg

Such people are very admired, because losing weight is much more difficult than gaining it, and only 30% of people can keep it, because:

the metabolism of obese people is impaired;
the body remembers the maximum weight and, whenever possible, seeks to return to it;
large portions as well as small ones in people with extra pounds lead to obesity;
suppressing signals to the brain makes it harder for them to start exercising;
low self-esteem becomes to blame for the fact that they begin to lead an inactive lifestyle;
hormonal imbalance prevents weight loss, which significantly reduces motivation.

Therefore, someone else's courage and willpower inspire millions of people from all over the world, proving that it is quite possible to change your weight even by 30-40 kg.

Maria Ursetti from Ohio dreamed of running a marathon, but her excess weight did not allow it to be done. Then she registered in a charity half marathon, famous for the fact that people of any preparedness could run.

However, Maria responsibly reacted to the competition and began, despite the bewilderment of friends and relatives, training.

She signed up for a fitness studio, revised her diet, and got up for a run every day at 4 a.m.. 8 years of continuous training and participation in half marathons helped her lose weight from 84 kg to 54 kg (total loss was 30 kg).

Briton Nigel Chappel lost 31 kg in six months.

He needed to lose weight for the upcoming surgery, so he turned to a specialized club for help.

There he was so inspired that he soon found like-minded people himself, began to lead an active lifestyle and revised his attitude to nutrition.

Keith Roshville has lost 32 kg. After the divorce and deprivation of custody of children, the American found himself in sports, taking up ultimate fighting in the MMA ring. It took him two years to get in shape.

The owners of the house where he lived were adherents of a healthy diet, so he completely changed the menu: leaned on meat dishes, vegetables, and preferred nuts for snacks. He was 40 years old, and his starting weight was 99 kg.

Asher Olsen lost 40 kg after she felt ashamed for not fastening her seat belt on the plane. Until that moment, she was not helped by appeals to doctors, psychologists, or sports.

Kate Reiter lost more than 40 kg in just 10 months, because it became uncomfortable for her to live with her own weight. She began to gradually reduce portions, having lost 8 kg in 1 week.

The secret to her weight loss was to quit drinking Coca-Cola sugary drinks. Unaware of the harmful effects of soda on the body, the British woman drank at least 20 cans daily.

The sugar in Coca-Cola was instantly transformed into glucose, inflicting an "insulin hit" on the body, after which its excess was deposited into excess fat. The use of such a number of cans yielded about 3000 kcal at the output, and this is without taking into account other food consumed. Having removed the provocateur of weight gain from the diet, adhering to a moderate diet, Lisa overcame the extra pounds.

She also performed a gastric resection for herself, reducing its volume, which undoubtedly contributed to the incredible results.

However, there are people for whom age is not a reason for giving up their dreams and their photos with the results of losing weight can be found in the public domain. By this age, only a few retain sufficient health, but they are in no hurry to get rid of those extra pounds, reasonably fearing harm to the body.

Moreover, at this age:

metabolism is slowed down - the weight will go away as long as possible;
lack of vitamins, minerals and useful elements does not allow to reduce the diet;
hormonal imbalance or menopause nullifies any attempts to lose weight;
any changes should be monitored by a doctor - body temperature, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar;
full restoration of the skin is impossible;
there is a risk of organ prolapse.

Paul Mason at the age of 57 lost 305 kg. It took him 6 years, and all thanks to the love that overtook him at this age. To achieve the result, he had to do a gastric bypass, because in 30 years of continuous eating, his daily calorie intake was 20,000.

Nutrition rules

Thoughtful leisurely chewing is good for:

The latter was proved by the American physiologist Horace Fletcher. By his own example, he calculated that for each piece of food, at least 30 jaw movements are required. So the food is better enveloped in saliva and broken down in the stomach, and due to this, more energy is expended.

Workouts

It is quite difficult to remove a significant amount of kilograms, but to tone the body and help the skin to tighten without physical exercise impossible. Therefore, nutritionists, in addition to dietary changes, recommend physical activity. It can be daily walks for 20-180 minutes, cardio training 5 times a week or strength training - 3 times for 40-90 minutes.

Any changes in the body should be monitored by specialists:

Tamara, 46 years old

At my age, it is already difficult to lose weight, but I decided to lose weight for my daughter's wedding in order to look perfect in the photo. I understood that it was necessary to reduce the volume of the abdomen and waist, began to replace dinner with a glass of kefir and an apple, bought a gym membership. The trainer selected the optimal program that suited me specifically and did not put stress on my knees.

The first week was hard, I always wanted something sweet. I took vitamins with chromium, and soon overcame my need for sugar. Two weeks later, I was happy to go to training. It was interesting to watch my body change. In a month, I lost five extra pounds, my waist and abdomen decreased, and overall fit appeared. I am satisfied with my real figure, even after the holiday I will continue to go to fitness.

Anfisa, 23 years old

I have always been a donkey, but I really wanted to become slim. When my fiance proposed, I was very happy, but for the sake of beautiful photos at the wedding I decided to take up serious weight loss. I had to give myself no mercy - I began to count calories rigidly, I did exercise machines every day, and a month later began to run. It was very hard, but real motivation helped.

My real story ended with the fact that in six months I lost 25 kg and acquired a dream figure. I looked great on wedding photos, and my husband noted my gorgeous look. I managed to consolidate the result, after the wedding I will continue to play sports, I will revise my nutrition in the direction of more correct, and not as hard as before. I always want to look beautiful.

Evgeniya, 31 years old

After the second pregnancy and graduation breastfeeding I decided to come to grips with my figure. Most of all worried about the big belly, stretch marks on the buttocks and cellulite. Special weight loss was not required, only to reduce the volume of the priests and abdomen. She began to study at home with the child, using it as a load - squatting with the baby in her arms, swinging the abs with raised legs, doing the bar.

This was not enough for real weight loss, so I began to look for more advanced material. I signed up for one of the online fitness courses. There were strict requirements, every day a report on classes and not a drop aside from the developed nutrition. It was hard, I wanted to cry, but I didn't give up. For 12 weeks of training, I became more enduring, the volume of the protruding abdomen was halved, and the waist decreased by 6 cm. This is a feat!

Anastasia, 34 years old

After leaving the hospital, I urgently needed to lose weight - I weighed 89 kg, which, with my height of 159 cm, looked like a disaster. Since I was breastfeeding the child, it was impossible to severely limit myself in nutrition, to lose weight dramatically. I started small - every day I walked 5 km. At the same time, she chose difficult routes - she climbed the mountain, climbed stairs, walked to the fifth floor without an elevator.

After seven months, I finished breastfeeding, at that time weighed 65 kg. There was still a little more to win, I began to limit the calorie content of dishes. Refused mayonnaise, fatty, fried. In just three months of an impromptu diet of chicken breast and calorie-deficient vegetables, I achieved my ideal weight. It remains to maintain my hard-won 54 kg - I walk a lot, once a week I arrange fasting days.

Elizabeth, 21 years old

I work as a model, so any deviation in weight upwards makes itself felt in the photo. There is one secret of how to lose weight quickly. Before shooting for a catalog of lingerie or going to the catwalk, you need to fast during the day. Drink only water and a green tea cocktail with a pinch of ginger. The result can be immediately seen in the photo - just a day of cleansing according to such a diet significantly changes the body, edema disappears, the stomach is "deflated", the muscles become more prominent.

Such a diet should not be resorted to more than once a month. Once I was starving for two days, and I felt very bad, I almost fainted. So fasting is beneficial, but for a limited time. I want to warn people with severe obesity from it - my doctor said that such fasting is prohibited for them. Young girls can afford it - try this recipe and write your real story!

Tatiana, 30 years old

My real story of losing weight with a photo can be called extreme. I had to lose 5 kg in three days, but I could not believe that this was possible. I decided to try the first stage of the Ducan diet, when I had to eat one protein. You know, it helped! For three days of eating only cottage cheese and chicken breast, I lost not even five, but six extra pounds, which is good news.

I'm not sure if you can continue to eat protein alone for more than three days, but the effect was amazing. I achieved my goal, and then I thought that it would be necessary to consolidate the result. She continued the second stage of the Ducan diet, included carbohydrates, some flaxseed oil and bran in her nutrition diary. At the third stage, I lost 10 kg out of the extra 13. Now we need to consolidate the losses, and then enjoy life and feel great.

Eleanor, 55

At my age, it is no longer customary to lose weight, but I consider myself a young attractive woman, and therefore strictly follow my figure. I'm not complaining about her, but I would like to reduce the size of the hips from 48 to 46 sizes. Losing weight was not very easy - after menopause, the metabolism slows down. I opted for a milk-restricted diet and the trendy outdoor Nordic walking complex.

Refused late dinners, began to walk more in the fresh air. Together with my friends, we studied the technology of walking with sticks, and every morning we started with a walk in the nearest park. This helped in an amazing way - in two months I became slimmer exactly by size, the extra swelling went away, the hips and abdominal muscles were tightened to normal. It is a pleasure to look at yourself in the mirror!

Daria, 29 years old

Due to hormonal disruption, I recovered very much, but could not achieve weight loss. I decided that I would remain fat, but I accidentally saw the contacts of a famous nutritionist on the website on the Internet. I made an appointment with her, gave a lot of money for the project, but in the end, after passing the tests and studying my problem, I received an action plan. There was a long and difficult work - first it was necessary to lose 20 kg with the help of diet, then the remaining 10 - with sports activities.

It was hard to limit myself, but the moral support of the nutritionist helped. She calculated every gram of snacks and meals, and I bought the groceries exactly according to her recommendations. In six months, 20 kg melted, it was time to sign up for the gym. Another 4 months were spent on the loss of the remaining 10 kg. I am again a slender girl, I look at my old photos and do not believe that I was like that.

My daughter is an adherent of proper nutrition. There is nothing forbidden in her house, completely healthy foods... Looking at her, I also thought about switching to such a diet. I started small - on day 21 I gave up refined sugar. So I developed a habit of doing without sweets. Then she began to exclude potatoes, pasta, fatty meat from the diet. She completely refused sausages and smoked meats.

The addiction was long, but the gradual transition was easier for me than "right off the bat", and there were no breakdowns. For a year of proper nutrition, I lost 10 kg, energy appeared, I almost never get tired in a day, I feel better than at 20. This is what only healthy foods mean. I plan to go in for sports to look even better, to attract the attention of interesting men.

Today it is fashionable to lead a healthy lifestyle, do not drink, do not smoke, eat only the right food... I also succumbed to this hobby, but for the purposes I had not just a lifestyle, but also weight loss. My real story with a photo: I lost 8 extra pounds in six months, which I am very pleased with. Didn't do anything special in terms of diet: included in the diet more protein and vegetables, I do not buy products with dyes, flavors.

I take superfoods every day - these are foods that are especially rich in healthy nutrients... Of these, goji berries, sea buckthorn, green buckwheat can be distinguished. My morning begins with a glass of warm water with honey on an empty stomach, half an hour later I have breakfast with oatmeal or natural unroasted granola. Lunch takes place in a cafe, and I have dinner with a glass of kefir and an apple. Simple and delicious!

Due to health problems, I gained an extra 10 kg. It was also difficult to reset them because I was constantly in the hospital and almost did not move. After leaving the hospital, I went to the doctor for help. He advised me to practice vegetarianism. I wanted to give up meat before, but I was afraid that due to the lack of animal protein, I would have anemia, hair would fall out. The doctor said that this can be corrected by taking special vitamins.

My daily diet includes a lot of peas or beans, nuts, and Adyghe cheese. I can’t completely give up dairy products and eggs, but I don’t eat meat and fish. In two months of such a diet, I managed to lose 8 kg, there are two more, but they are the most difficult. Vegetarianism hardened the body, I noticed that digestion began to work better, I do not suffer from constipation, as before.

Real weight loss stories from photos will never tell you the whole truth, and I will reveal the secret - to get desired effect it is important to work hard and hard. No dietary supplements and creams will help get rid of the rollers on the waist or "ears" on the buttocks. You need to often go in for sports, give up your usual food, replacing them with healthy ones.

So I gave up everything harmful in favor of proper nutrition, and I do not regret it. I eat only protein-rich foods, combine them with fiber in the form of vegetables and occasionally allow myself a small piece of cake. In my diet there is no sausage, chips, cookies, only bitter chocolate (a square per day) and honey remained from sweets. With such a clean diet, I lost 12 kg in a year, my health has improved significantly.

During my life I tried many diets until I realized that The best way for real weight loss, it is proper nutrition. Previously, she could eat her husband and children, constantly taste food in the cooking process. So, without noticing it, she gained an extra 7 kg. I don't like to go in for sports, so I tried to give up everything harmful that was in the diet.

To avoid temptations, I transferred the whole family to proper nutrition. At first, my husband resisted - he loved to eat tightly and drink a bottle of beer at night. To date, he has lost 17 extra pounds, and I have lost even more than I had planned - by 10 kg. The diet contains fruits, vegetables, dairy products without additives, boiled meat and steamed fish. Spices give all this a special charm. I do not regret switching to such a diet - health is more expensive.

My real weight loss story is hard and long. I weighed over 100 kg, which led to complications in the joints. When it became difficult to walk, I decided to urgently engage in weight loss. If you compare the old photos and the ones taken now, you can find 100 differences. I dropped the first 30 kg by swimming and giving up sweets. I reduced the amount of portions, began to eat fractional, but often.

It was hard, I always wanted something sweet, but I overpowered myself. I didn't give myself a reason to eat something harmful, if I wanted to eat, I ate an apple or drank a glass of kefir. After reaching a weight of 70 kg, I began to do exercises on simulators, and received a developed personal weight loss program. With the help of the rejection of fatty and fried, another 15 kg were taken. My weight is perfect and I am completely satisfied with my figure.
