The Fastest Way to Lose Body Fat Is to Actually Lose It Slowly
The ugly reality of “fast” fat loss most coaches & influencers don’t reveal — and how to lose fat (and keep it off) effectively
My mother’s joyous face turned ashen.
“Surprised? All that ugly fat’s gone for good!” I lugged my bags in. “But you look so weak and ill,” she quailed.
“Ah! Bumpy ride, so zero sleep. Plus, this hoodie’s an XL, Mom.”, I consoled her.
My mom’s ominous look of alarm failed to warn me of the hellhole I was digging myself into.
Her love-infused force-feeding made me regain a kilo or two. But once I returned to college — the insidious cycle of undereating, over-obsessing, and overexercising restarted.
Eating just 800 daily calories — bland egg whites, oats, and whey protein shakes. Dragging myself through caffeine-fueled gym workouts. Checking my abs 4375 times a day. Biking 20+ km a week. Hunger-fueled insomnia despite absolute exhaustion.
All that torture only to end up skinny instead of “ripped” as I had envisioned?
