If you want to lose weight, DO NOT ask me how
For some reason, everyone shares success stories. I will share stories of failures. 10 years ago I suddenly found myself in the “over a hundred” club, since then there have been several attempts to lose weight, who cares what happened next – under the cat.
For the league of laziness: Losing weight without chemicals is difficult, but with chemicals it is dangerous.
So, lose weight.
I didn’t consider the question “why” – when in a couple of years you go from 70 to 90, and in another year to 100 (kilograms) – this is not normal, not comfortable and a lot of “not” things. The simple and not very accurate formula “height minus 100” says that 80 for my 180 would be just right. Although who am I lying to, the next decision was made on the day when, before my eyes, under one mustachioed Fatty in lyrical mood the false floor collapsed.
Reasons for choosing Weight Gain 4000
At first, I thought that the reason was trivial – I sit at the computer a lot, walk a little, eat little fibrous food, and eat up work stress.
What I can say is that all of the above are rather consequences than initial causes, and to understand “why this is so” we must first turn to history and biochemistry.
History and biochemistry.
Somehow it happened that monkeys moved from collecting bananas to the class of omnivorous predators, and driven ones – both ancient people and modern ones after training – are able to run 100-150 kilometers per day. The daily running record today is 309 km. Therefore, for a person to walk a lot and then lie down a lot is a normal state, if you do not reduce it only to “lying down a lot”. There is a small nuance – walking a lot, this is really a lot, and at low speed, 300/24 = 12.5 km/hour. 12 kilometers per hour is a bronze RLD badge for the group of 30-40 years old (VII. STAGE (age group from 30 to 39 years), MEN, 3 kilometers in 15 minutes)
Where and how food comes into cells – you can read here – Compensatory functions of the liver
I didn’t read all this then, and so I first took tests for everything at once and hormones. It turned out that hormones were more or less normal, there was no diabetes, testosterone was normal. Just fat. And no longer 18 years old, these are age-related changes.
Losing weight first, eat less, especially flour and sweets.
The method doesn’t work. That is, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all, but it has a lot of side effects, two of which are critical. The first is “the head doesn’t work” – especially compared to the classic with sweet coffee and a couple of cakes in the morning. And so it will be until the body is rebuilt, which takes up to a couple of months. The second is an increase in the level of ozverin in the blood, comparable to the use of 250 mg of ozverin every day. It lasted me for two weeks, then I went wild.
Losing weight second. Eat as much, move more.
The method doesn’t work. That is, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all, but you need to move significantly more, and not walk to the next stop. Moreover, what is the next metro stop there? Fat, at a walking pace, begins to be actively consumed after 45 minutes – an hour of easy running – that is, 5..7 kilometers. You need to find somewhere to do two hours of easy running every day. In Moscow, in winter, after work, this means driving home, changing clothes and running somewhere for two hours. The plan was declared a failure at the first rain. It lasted me…probably a month or two. They write on the Internet that the “running” method begins to work after 2 months of running for a couple of hours at a heart rate of 70% of the maximum. This doesn’t mean I can’t talk about the advantages of Drytex over softshells in heavy rain, but it’s still not my choice. I can. But I didn’t like this method.
Losing weight third. Eat less sweets and starchy foods, exercise more on weekends, during the week whenever possible.
A relatively working method, until it turns out that the rate of weight loss, with counting calories and so on, and in terms of jogging 15-20 kilometers on weekends, gives half a kilo of weight loss per month. Which, at the first hint of overtime and night shifts, are compensated for 2-3 nights. And in winter the method does not work, because there is a risk of injury, getting sick, and in general Moscow in winter is not very suitable for jogging. But Using this method, I already realized that the main source of excess calories is “accidental” snacking and stress eating. First of all, you need to sleep more and worry less.
Losing weight fourth. Eat a little less, eat differently (less sugar and French rolls), move more in the gym.
This attempt at losing weight was derailed by the move of the gym, so she upped and moved. Then it closed.
Fifth weight loss or how to lose weight at sea.
Another attempt to lose weight was at sea. A month’s vacation, a warm sea, fresh fruit, light exercise, domestic alcoholism – everything that many people love. It turned out that fresh fruits, if you do not limit their consumption, are high enough in calories that there is no talk of any weight loss.
Weight loss sixth, or effective management.
By the sixth time it was decided – that’s it, I’m losing weight! I signed up for the pool – which was soon closed due to Covid, then opened, closed again, and, in the end, instead of a pool, they made a mandatory subscription to fitness plus a pool, but three times more expensive. In addition, a waiting center with rolls and coffee was set up right in the fitness center. Tests of willpower – you have just shoveled 500 -700 -1000 meters, and you walk past fresh baked goods, what will happen with one small loaf.
Weight loss seventh, glory to the pioneers! cheers to the pioneers
The next step could have simply sewed up my mouth, but instead I went to read what was available on the Russian market for weight loss.
Weight loss drugs on the Russian market can be divided into the following large groups. Not counting surgery.
Dietary supplements with unproven (absent) effectiveness based on anything. Goji berries, Muji drool, feces of the ascended Maharaja diluted E100, Senna Alexandrina, some other shrubs from which you can get either a long session in a club of murmuring waters, or damage to the heart muscle from the accumulation of some poisons, or nothing at all. Fat burners can be included in this group. This also includes all sorts of calorie blockers based on garcinia cambogia, conjugated linoleic acid, etc.
Ozempic\Wegovy\semaglutide – appeared recently, costs a kiloton, didn’t look for efficiency. But the F.D.A. approved in 2021.
Sports nutrition in combination with a test (testosterone propionate) and other sports topics about “If you want to be like an elephant“- the path of the strong, I am not ready. I’m weak in spirit.
Working substances in pure form or as part of dietary supplements or complexes (tea / coffee for weight loss). These are Levocarnitine (l-carnitine, levocarnitine) and sibutramine
Levocarnitine I haven’t tried it. But he is in pubmed there are articles on it – Effects of l-carnitine supplementation on weight loss and body composition or Beneficial effects of l-carnitine supplementation for weight management .
Sibutramine was allowed in 1999 in Europe, and banned in 2010 in Europe, Canada, USA, Thailand – according to the results of the SCOUT study (Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial). It is also generally prohibited in the world, but is still produced and sold, including in coffee/tea/other “for weight loss”. Research – read here In short, it increases heart rate + blood pressure – and increases the risk of dying from a heart attack. Mycardial infarction (C). Every year someone dies from it – as part of coffee / tea.
In addition to the problems described, the drug has a high risk of overdose – when 10 mg per day is not enough, and 15 is too much, and a lot of side effects. There is no antidote for overdose. In Thailand it is included in the list of psychotropic drugs (list 1 – the Ministry of Public Health announced the classification of sibutramine as a Type 1 psychotropic substance ).
Sibutramine acts extremely vilely – Sibutramine is a norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Cm. DB01105.
That is, this norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibitorare ready to visit along with losing weight shining space inside and our chemical home for the sad inhabitants of the Earth? (catch Griboyedovmost likely you won’t have to but still, perhaps there will be voices).
There were many interesting tests in the 2000s – Effects of sibutramine alone and with alcohol on cognitive function in healthy volunteers – The effect of sibutramine alone and with alcohol on cognitive function in healthy volunteers. Sibutramine taken alone has been associated with improved performance on multiple tasks. Sibutramine improved attention (average digit recognition speed improved by 21 ms), picture recognition speed (improved at 3 = 81), and motor control (tracking error decreased by 1.58 mm at 3 hours).
But the risks – both a heart attack and getting addicted – exceed reasonable limits. In the Russian Federation it is sold by prescription. I highly recommend it.
And finally, SARM is a selective androgen receptor modulator. Selective androgen receptor modulators.
This Ibutamoren Mk-677aka Nitrobal (Nutrobal) and Ibutamoren MK 677 (Crazy Bulk Ibuta 677)
Mk-677 is being studied with late 90s before 2018 (maybe later) with tests like Two-month treatment of obese subjects with the oral growth hormone (GH) secretagogue MK-677 increases GH secretion, fat-free mass, and energy expenditure (1998). But it will take a year to eat it – according to this study (2008) And then, it’s only reasonable if you’re already a grandfather. The FDA did not approve the drug, but did not ban it either, see article 2023 – including liver damage based on the results.
Crazy Bulk Ibuta 677 is a drug from the same series, there are no test data.
And both of these drugs are not approved. neither for sports nor for ordinary people, see ibutamoren (mk 677) not ok – don’t be fooled by the marketing!
There are many drugs in this series: Ligandrol (LGD-4033), Testolone/radarine (RAD-140), Andarine (S4), Ostarine (or Endbosarm), BMS 564929, AC-262,536 (Accadine), ACP-105, GSK2881078, S1, S9, S-23. All of them have not been properly researched, not approved by the TGA and FDA, and are not sold in their normal (sufficiently pure) form, see. Sarms are not only of threat to fair play, they’re also dangerous
Unobvious side effects of diets.
In addition to the fact that various diets are not beneficial in themselves, some of them can also cause associated diseases – for example, a lack of B6\D\E\ leads to to dermatitis with the risk of secondary infection. Great stuff, I recommend it.
Total.
There is no easy recipe, since obesity is not some simple process, but is tied to lifestyle, diet, hormone levels, some diseases, nerves, etc. At the same time, you still need to not kill yourself, your heart, your liver, and not give yourself mini-scurvy. Be careful, don’t eat just anything, check doctors’ prescriptions and friends’ advice from independent sources, and don’t exceed the dosage. Personally, after a comprehensive change in lifestyle, nutrition and more, I lost 15 kilograms in a year, but in the second year I can’t lose another 5. But at least it’s fixed.
