男子一年减肥59公斤惊呆父母

2014-01-11来源:中国日报网

据美国雅虎新闻(Yahoo News)网站1月6日报道,一男子在不到一年的时间内,足足减掉59公斤。

这名神奇的男子名叫卢卡斯•欧文(Lucas Irwin),他从137公斤减为77公斤。下面是他减肥前后的照片对比。

究竟欧文是怎么办到的呢?原来他坚持每天至多摄入1350卡路里的热量。尽管他没有具体规定自己要吃什么,不过主要食物是金枪鱼沙拉、蘸有洋葱番茄辣酱的鸡肉、冷冻蔬菜、豆子、米饭、三明治、菠菜和鸡蛋。欧文减掉45公斤后,开始走路上班,坚持了2个月,最后因为天气太冷不得不放弃。

由于父母不知情,他们看到减肥成功后的欧文,大吃一惊。欧文表示:“最妙的当然是同事和朋友的反应。现在几乎每天都有人问我减肥的方法,我正在考虑是否以此为职业,比如说当个营养师。”

减肥成功的欧文试衣服的时候,再也不用担心衣服合不合身的问题,而是衣服好不好看。不过他并没有满足,他的减肥目标是68公斤。

男子一年减肥59公斤惊呆父母

In just shy of one year – he didn't start losing weight until December of 2012 – Irwin went from 300 pounds to 170. How did he do it?

"95% of it was done through nothing but a 1350 calorie limit per day," he wrote on Reddit. "No foods were off limit, but I survived mostly on tuna salad, chicken with salsa, frozen vegetables, beans and rice, turkey/roast beef sandwiches, spinach, and eggs. After I lost 100 pounds I started walking to work (5 miles) for about 2 months until it got too cold outside."

Here's the best part – during the entire year, Irwin didn't mention anything to his parents. Not a word. So imagine their reaction when they saw him for the first time. Or better yet, watch it:

Only his sister was in on it. She's the one who filmed the unveiling.

When asked if he likes his new clothing options, the 5-foot-8 Irwin responded, "Yes I do, and it's very strange having 'how does it look?' be a criteria instead of just 'does it fit?' "

And he's not done yet. His goal weight is 150 pounds.

"The best part has definitely been the reactions of co workers and friends," he wrote. "I have people asking me for advice on almost a daily basis now, and I've seriously considered making it a career path (dietitian)."
