Million-dollar YTR "Beard" reduced his body fat by 11% in 3 months! Dr. Wu Zhenjin: 4 tips for successful weight loss

The million-dollar YouTuber "Huzi" has been updating his channel for a long time. Due to his lifestyle habits such as staying up late and preferring refined starches, he has been suffering from obesity. His weight once reached 93 kilograms and his body fat was 36%. However, her most recent appearance on YouTube astounded netizens. Not only was her figure smaller, she also had strong abdominal muscles, and her body fat had dropped to 12%.

It was Dr. Wu Zhenjin of Xiao Zhou Chu Ri Clinic who helped Hu Zi resolve his problems. She said that the key to Hu Zi's successful weight loss was to "accurately identify the cause of obesity", "eat the right food" and "exercise appropriately".

Dr. Wu Zhenjin pointed out that Hu Zi had tried to lose weight many times in the past. Although he reduced his body fat from 36% to 18% through calorie control and exercise, his body fat started to "blown up" again after he resumed his normal diet. In just three months, his body fat quickly rebounded to 23%. He was mocked by netizens for being "very leaky," which made him determined to find the right way to lose weight. He made a bet that he would shut down his channel if he didn't lose 10% of his body fat within three months.

In order to find out the root cause of obesity, Dr. Wu Zhenjin arranged tests for him on insulin resistance, stress hormones, chronic food allergens and obesity genes. The results showed that Hu Zi had severe allergic reactions to his favorite foods, such as eggs, milk and wheat products, which caused his body to be in a state of inflammation for a long time. In addition, obesity gene testing shows that people with beards are born with a higher appetite and a large food intake, and are prone to eating too much food. In addition, their gastrointestinal absorption capacity is strong, and their ability to convert fat is better than that of ordinary people, so they are more likely to gain weight.

4 ways to reduce body fat

In response to these problems, Dr. Wu Zhenjin suggested that Hu Zi's eating habits should be based on the "Carbon Cycle Diet". In addition to giving up the refined starches such as potato chips and instant noodles that you like to eat when staying up late, you should also adjust the proportion of carbohydrate intake according to your flexible lifestyle and do weight training exercises:

1. Adjust carbohydrate intake:

Take a relatively high carbohydrate intake during exercise to provide him with sufficient energy source. On rest days, consume relatively low carbs, and starches should be mainly non-refined carbohydrates, such as whole grains such as sweet potatoes and corn.

2. Increase protein intake:

At the same time, in order to effectively reduce body fat and increase satiety, protein intake is also increased to 1.5 times body weight in grams (the recommended daily protein intake for adults is 1-1.2 times body weight in grams).

3. Increase the proportion of vegetables:

In terms of dietary strategy, it is recommended to increase the proportion of vegetables and reduce the calorie density in the diet so that he can eat enough without easily gaining fat.

4. Perform weight training exercises:

At the same time, multiple interventions such as weight training exercises and CMSlim to reshape abdominal muscles are used to improve muscle strength.

However, Dr. Wu Zhenjin reminded that for people with a higher body fat percentage, they should first focus on fat loss, lowering insulin resistance, and then training to build muscle, which would be more efficient. In particular, to improve chronic inflammation problems that are easily overlooked, auxiliary nutritional drips are also an option worth considering.

In addition, Hu Zi, who used to stay up late due to 3C addiction, was found to be a night owl with a circadian rhythm disorder, but his metabolism was good at night. Dr. Wu Zhenjin suggested that he pay more attention to sleep adjustment, "sleep well and lose more weight." Huzi said that after he carefully adjusted his sleep, his weight loss effect was more significant, and his athletic performance and mental state also improved accordingly; on the contrary, on days when he stayed up late more often, the overall progress would be significantly reduced. After taking this series of targeted measures, Hu Zi's body fat was successfully reduced from 23% to 12% in just 3 months, with better results than expected!

Huzi lamented that he always encountered bottlenecks in losing weight in the past, and never thought that weight loss could be "very scientific" and that strategies could be tailored according to personal life and exercise status. During this weight loss process, Dr. Wu Zhenjin also traced Hu Zi's family history of hyperlipidemia and conducted a number of functional tests including lipoproteins and hormones. After discovering multiple inflammatory indicators, six major hormones including insulin were specifically regulated, and eventually the bottleneck of body fat reduction was broken, allowing Hu Zi to successfully return from a fat uncle to a handsome "Oppa".
