"How can people who can't even control their own weight talk about controlling life?" This inspirational word is the source of motivation in the hearts of every weight loss person, but it is very difficult to act with gritted teeth, because this is not something that can be achieved overnight, and often many people lose at the feet of time later, stumbling, rebounding again, and the original ethereal life has fallen to nothingness.
But there are also some people who persevere and are doomed to his success. As early as the last century, there was such a person who transformed perfectly by dieting, the process is incredible, it can be described as an immortal legend.
In the 1960s, there was a 27-year-old man named Angus Barbieri in Scotland, who was worried about the confusion about weight, he felt that this seriously affected his life and work, gave up the delicious food in the world, so he looked around for medical treatment, and finally under the supervision and help of doctors, he decided to go on a hunger strike to get rid of this stubborn fat, setting a long-term goal from 412 pounds to 162 pounds.
Angus's doctors prepared to measure the indicators of his body with various instruments to determine whether his body was in normal health, and after everything was arranged, Angus began a hard hunger strike.
This treatment now appears to be very cruel and painful, with a high risk and serious life-threatening. But in those days, "starvation therapy" was a very important treatment for obese patients.
Angus's attending physician also agreed at his urgent request, which opened up a new understanding of the field of medicine at that time, and they wanted to understand the reasons for this, which laid the foundation for the treatment of obesity in the future.
So hunger strike, naturally can not eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, meat and any other high calorie food, Angus then rely on drinking water and supplements with various vitamins, minerals and other supplements to maintain the balance of the body, of course, tea and coffee this non-calorie drink can also be drunk.
Under the condition of ensuring the health of the body, Angus will often go to the hospital to test blood, urine and feces, and in the toss of these two points, sometimes Angus simply stays in the hospital.
Doctors, worried about Angus's physical condition, strongly recommended that he eat for a short period of time to promote physical energy supply and demand, because a normal person who does not eat any food for 40 days is already the limit of human beings, which will lead to the risk of myocardial infarction.
However, the firm-minded Angus resolutely refused, or a long-term hunger strike, more surprisingly, he felt that the weight loss effect was not obvious, offered to extend the time of eating, his every move and perseverance made many doctors marvel.
Due to the long hunger strike, Angus has been tasteless about food, like losing his sense of taste, he can't feel the desire for food, which makes him see the effect of his efforts and has greater confidence in the next weight loss.
Angus is still at home most of the time, and the medical staff does not supervise 24 hours a day, but his strong perseverance makes him calm and self-assured when he is examined by doctors, and there is no indicator exceeding the standard. In order to concentrate on the hunger strike, he also closed his own fried fast food restaurant.
In the first quarter of the hunger strike, Angus's glycemic index began to slowly decline, and he had departed from the normal blood glucose index, but he was still sober-headed, no different from a normal person.
Because Angus did not eat, he could only have a bowel movement once a month, and doctors were able to check the stool. It's hard to want such a sense of life and bodily functioning, but 382 days of cicada belly turtle intestines, Angus did the same.
After 382 days, Angus finally survived. He completed the goal of going from 412 pounds to 162 pounds of normal human weight, losing 250 pounds. In the eyes of the media, he is crazy and successful, and thus broke the Guinness World Record, alarmed countless people, and inspired countless people who want to lose weight.
Angus also showed off his pants in the media, laughing and saying that they could fit him and his family.
His inconclusivity also sparked a lot of interest in how to lose weight successfully, of course, the doctor who had supervised him and in 1973, wrote a detailed record of Angus's hunger strike and published it in the press of the time.
On the question of whether the weight rebounded, Angus only gained 14 pounds after five years, which shows that the effect is very optimistic.
Although the media praised Angus's counterattack at the time, he was not advocated for his behavior, but marked by not imitating. It can be said that his individual success is not enough to be a popular way of behavior, because the risk is extremely high, and there are always some people who are willing to try but can't do the next Angus.
There is such a nursing home in the small town of Oralla in Washington State, where about 40 people died of starvation because the dean used hunger strikes to fight hunger and the virus. Most of these tragic deaths weighed only about 60 pounds, really as thin and brittle as paper skin.
The girl named Rossi was rescued at that time, and the medical staff tested less than 50 pounds, and the bones and flesh had to be punctured. And her unfortunate sister, in the treatment of a lie, eventually died.
Fortunately, the hateful dean was brought to justice by the police and sentenced to intentional homicide in 1912, but was later released with the forgiveness of the authorities, but the most heinous person was eventually killed.
In 1938, she fell ill, but she did not go to the hospital, and she believed that hunger strike therapy could bring her peace and health, and she was as delirious as a demon, which made her go to the hospital to cure her condition worse, and finally died of hunger strike.
Therefore, looking at things rationally is the protection of everyone's own safety, do not lose what should be precious life for blind worship, there are too many unscientific acts in this world that destroy some people's minds and bodies.
Angus's hunger strike legend is obviously not reproducible, because in this extremely dangerous practice, there is no accurate probability to ensure personal safety, you can understand it, but do not touch it, imitate it, and always maintain the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Nowadays, there are many more scientific and systematic fat loss plans, and slowly understand the learning persistence, I believe that I will be able to see the ideal self.
