How I lost 13 kg in half a year

I took two tablespoons of fish-oil everytime I was hungry, like 3-4 times a day. Then I ate raw vegetables and fruit in amounts I wanted to on the side, I ate some lean chicken when I craved meat. I didn`t have cheat-meals, I just ate vegetables and fruit alot, only sort of cheat-meal I had was I mixed sour-cream with curry and olive-oil and dipped chicken-thighs in it. A half a year went by and I was 13 kg lighter, I worked out normally. I found out that even if some food are low in fat and considered healthy, vegetables and fruit have stuff in it like enzymes which makes you lose weight, it`s not the same

 

Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive yet brief guide here. I definitely want to try out the guide you provided above and see how it helps me lose weight.

 

There`s life in forum, cool

 

An interesting approach @Frank1985, I did some research:-

This approach to weight loss likely worked due to a combination of factors, though it's important to consider some nuances:

1. Caloric Deficit:
   • By eating primarily raw vegetables, fruits, and lean protein, the overall caloric intake was likely reduced. Vegetables and fruits are low in calories but high in volume, meaning they can help you feel full without consuming a lot of calories.
   • Fish oil provides fat and satiety, but since fat is calorie-dense, consuming only 2–4 tablespoons per day (each tablespoon is around 120 calories) likely still kept overall calories in check.
2. Nutrient-Dense Foods:
   • Vegetables and fruits are nutrient-rich and provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These can support overall health and may help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve digestion.
   • Enzymes found in raw fruits and vegetables may aid digestion, though the idea that they directly cause weight loss is less supported by science.
3. Protein Intake:
   • Lean chicken helped maintain protein levels, which is important for preserving muscle mass during weight loss. Protein also has a higher thermic effect (energy burned during digestion) compared to fats and carbs.
4. Healthy Fats:
   • Fish oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and may support metabolism and fat oxidation. Adding olive oil and sour cream in moderation likely contributed some healthy fats, which can enhance satiety.
5. Exercise:
   • "Normal" workouts combined with a caloric deficit supported the weight loss process. Exercise helps burn calories, build muscle, and improve overall metabolism.
6. Consistency:
   • The lack of cheat meals and sticking to a consistent eating pattern ensured that caloric balance remained steady, avoiding spikes that can disrupt progress.

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Sustainability: While this worked for six months, such a restrictive diet may not be sustainable long-term. Introducing more variety can help prevent nutrient deficiencies and diet fatigue.
• Balance: Some important food groups, like whole grains and dairy, were missing, which could lead to nutritional gaps.
• Fish Oil Overuse: Consuming too much fish oil can lead to side effects such as nausea or excessive bleeding in rare cases. It’s always good to consult a healthcare provider before making major dietary changes.

This method capitalised on calorie control, nutrient density, and consistency, but individual results may vary. A more balanced approach with similar principles could achieve sustainable weight loss for others.

 

Hey there,

Congrats on your 13kg weight loss—that’s an incredible achievement! Curious to know, did you focus more on nutrition, exercise, or a mix of both? I’ve been learning a lot about how consistency with small, sustainable changes can lead to big results like yours.

Would love to hear if you had any favorite workouts or meals that kept you motivated!

 

Hi! Thanks alot, I was hungry alot, but I ate alot of vegetables and fruit. No nothing special regarding meals, I was just eating vegetables and fruit alot, didn`t have any cheat-meals. My doctor said I had a little cholestrole so I had to skip food for a while like six months

 

It makes me wonder, did you find it to be as much of a mental challenge as a physical one? Sometimes staying motivated and pushing through those tough days can be harder than the workouts themselves. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you balanced it all!

 

Well, I had some belly, and I was ridiculed for buying vegetables only. They said to me eat meat and stuff, it`s good for you. I actually think it`s important to be on protein-defecit also to lose weight, because when Elvis died, I read this like 15 years ago, they found that he had alot of porrigde around intenstins, I assumed later that this contains protein. If the body has storage of fat, carbs, vitamins, minerals etc. why not protein also?

 

I’ve been on a life-changing fitness journey, and I’m excited to share that I’ve lost 13 kg in half a year! The secret? It’s not just about workouts — it’s about fueling my body with the right support.
