The body sounds the alarm and determines to lose weight
The 19-year-old mainland girl posted on the social platform “little red book” Posted an article to share his experience of losing 120 pounds (approximately 132 pounds) in 2 years. The female victim is 173 centimeters tall and her weight peaked at 280 kilograms (approximately 308 pounds). Due to her obesity since she was a child, her personality has become low self-esteem and introverted. When she was 17 years old, she began to have physical problems. For example, a black patch (Acanthus nigricans) appeared on the back of her neck, which could not be removed even with ointments and medicines. Later, she developed polycystic ovary disease, so she decided to start losing weight.
Weight loss formula: diet + exercise + foot bath + internal conditioning
In terms of diet, she adheres to the principle of “never dieting” and will not use radical methods to lose weight, such as relying entirely on meal replacement powder. She pointed out that “diet can directly lead to endocrine disorders” and relying on meal replacements will also cause the body to lack vitamins. Therefore, the entire weight loss process only adjusts diet and exercise to achieve the target weight. Based on her weight loss experience, she synthesized 6 major principles:
- 1. Diet combination: high-quality carbohydrates + vegetables + low fat + fruits, as light as possible
- 2. Eat normally until you are 70% full and drink plenty of water
- 3. Be sure to eat high-quality and satiating carbohydrates, such as corn, purple sweet potatoes, steel-cut oats, etc.
- 4. Won’t sit down immediately after eating
- 5. Do appropriate exercises according to your physical condition. She recommends skipping rope, yoga, swimming, cycling, etc. The exercise intensity should be as fast as your heartbeat, slight sweating and panting, and as long as you feel tired. The frequency of exercise is 30 to 60 minutes a day, 2 to 3 times a week.
- 6. Soak your feet often to help you fall asleep and go to bed early and get up early.
She shares her weight loss diet menu as follows:
- Breakfast: Eggs + whole wheat bread
- Lunch: 3 scoops of steel-cut oats + vegetables + low-fat meat
- Dinner: 2 scoops of steel-cut oats + vegetables/various vegetable salads + eggs
Three Keys to Successful Weight Loss
She pointed out that there are three major contributors behind the successful weight loss. First, the staple food of the three meals is mainly steel-cut oats, which not only has a low GI value and slowly raises blood sugar, but is also a good carbohydrate for her who cannot sleep hungry. On the other hand, in order to improve her polycystic ovary syndrome, she also adopts a two-pronged approach, both internal and external, including a daily healthy diet and nutritional supplements, usually after lunch.
In addition, foot soaking is one of her tips for losing weight successfully. She said that it is “especially useful for women” because it can promote blood circulation and improve the body’s metabolism. The water temperature, time and materials for foot soaking are also particular. It is recommended that the temperature is around 37 to 45 degrees Celsius. The best effect is to soak your feet until you are slightly sweating. The water level can reach the calf level, which makes sweating easier. She also prefers to use mugwort packs to soak her feet. About 30 to 40 minutes is enough. If she soaks her feet for too long, it will cause dizziness.
In terms of exercise, she first controlled her diet to lose 20 pounds (about 22 pounds), and then cooperated with exercise to lose weight. She started doing weight-loss exercises and brisk walking, and later switched to aerobic and strength training after she lost 50 pounds (about 55 pounds). She reminds you to avoid foot baths and strenuous exercise during menstruation, and instead switch to more soothing methods such as walking or yoga.
Regain confidence, fat girl turns into beautiful girl
After two years of weight loss, the female victim reduced her weight from 280 pounds to 160 pounds, a total loss of 120 pounds. The black spots on the back of her neck gradually faded, and her body gradually recovered. Her body shape became pleasing to the eye, and she gradually became confident, cheerful, and smiling. She began to care about her appearance and was able to dress herself up and wear the clothes she liked.
However, those who love beauty should note that the effectiveness of various weight loss methods may vary from person to person. It is recommended to consult professionals such as doctors and nutritionists first.
Young patients are mostly caused by diabetes
Hong Kong’s endocrinology and diabetes specialist Dr. Tong Chun-yip said in an interview that acanthosis nigricans is mainly caused by excessive growth hormone in the body, which stimulates the proliferation of subcutaneous cells, causing the skin to darken and thicken. Acanthosis nigricans most commonly occurs in people who are obese, diabetic, or prediabetic. In addition, this symptom can also occur due to hormonal problems (such as insufficient thyroid secretion) and cancer. In some people, it is hereditary.
Generally speaking, acanthosis nigricans caused by excessive insulin is more common in young people in their 10s to 20s, and is often related to diabetes. As for older people whose pancreatic function is weakened, they will not have too much insulin. If acanthosis nigricans occurs, it is more likely to be caused by diseases such as cancer.
Common causes of acanthosis nigricans
- obesity
- diabetes
- hormonal problems
- cancer
