Doctor lost 20 kg/year, reversed fatty liver with black coffee and eggs

A famous doctor lost 20 kg in a year, reversing severe fatty liver disease after controlling his diet and exercising regularly.

Obesity and fatty liver, if not controlled in time, can lead to chronic inflammation, indirectly causing cancer. This makes them a public health concern, even among doctors.

On the health program “Focus 2.0”, a famous orthopedic specialist in Taiwan (China), Diep Van Lang, said that he had suffered a broken bone injury while playing soccer, leading to his inability to maintain his exercise habits. Combined with the nature of his job, he had to entertain guests and drink alcohol, which caused his weight to increase to 90 kg. When he had a health check, he discovered that he had severe fatty liver disease.

Fortunately, thanks to strict diet control and exercise, Dr. Diep lost 20 kg in 11 months, his jeans went from size 38 to size 31, escaping the health threat caused by severe fatty liver.

3 nutritious meals

Dr. Diep Van Lang shared that if you only change your exercise habits without changing your eating habits, the effectiveness of reducing fat and eliminating liver fat may be very limited. Meanwhile, the nutrient that is very necessary when losing weight is protein, because absorbing enough protein helps increase the feeling of fullness, reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed and prevent muscle atrophy, according to the website Good Morning Health .

He recommends that for normal people, they should eat about 0.8-1.2g of protein per kg of body weight every day. Even though he is losing weight, Dr. Diep Van Lang still maintains eating 3 meals a day, but with small changes. His breakfast consists of black coffee without sugar and 2 eggs. Caffeine will help burn fat and reduce appetite, so for him, this is the ideal breakfast to lose fat. For lunch and dinner, the doctor recommends limiting starch and supplementing enough protein. He gives an example of a nutritious meal for weight loss including bok choy, cabbage, carrots stir-fried with eggs, combined with chicken breast and a little white rice.

Doctor Diep Van Lang said that in the past, he really liked to eat braised pork with rice, French bread with butter, etc., but he should not eat too much of those dishes. Currently, his daily starch intake is very low, mainly accompanied by protein-rich foods. According to the doctor, it is best to eat in the order of vegetables, soup, meat, and finally starch (rice) to increase the feeling of fullness, while avoiding fluctuations in blood sugar, preventing excess sugar from converting into triglycerides stored in the liver.

Jogging is one of the very good activities for health.

The “walk and run” training method

In addition to controlling nutrition, on the path to reversing fatty liver, Dr. Diep Van Lang also pays great attention to the role of exercise. Regular exercise can burn excess calories, helping to maintain stable blood sugar. These benefits will support weight control, reduce fat and improve fatty liver.

The doctor has implemented the “walk and run” method in aerobic training (also known as aerobic training), by alternating running and walking. This method not only prolongs the training time, increases fat burning efficiency but also does not put much pressure on the body.

As for how to do it, he started with brisk walking. When he saw that his heart rate had increased and remained stable, meaning it was no longer increasing, the doctor switched to jogging. When he ran, his heart rate gradually increased, and he began to feel short of breath. When he felt uncomfortable, he would switch back to walking. The doctor did this alternating throughout his training.

Dr. Diep Van Lang also recommends that everyone should exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week, each time from 30 to 60 minutes. If you do not like running, you can just walk, or increase your movement such as going shopping, walking to work, etc. On the other hand, because 70% of the body's carbohydrates are used by muscles, increasing muscle mass also helps improve metabolism. Therefore, in addition to walking and running, you can also do squat exercises to increase muscle mass, thereby improving fatty liver condition, according to Good Morning Health .
