This is one of those stories that I like to tell every now and then , a success story about a young woman, severely obese, who in less than two years managed to lose the beauty of almost 80 kilos on the almost 180 kilos she originally weighed. How? Thanks to her physical activity, which was her first incentive to make her lose weight. So if you think that moving is useless, that the gym does not give results, you may like the story of this twenty-seven year old, Natasha Glaspy .
Affected by diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovary syndrome , Natasha weighed a hundred and eighty kilos at the age of twenty-seven and was forced to take drugs to keep her shaky health under control.
Now, however, she has lost seventy-five and continues to lose weight thanks to sport.

In her case, Natasha initially joined a fitness program at her university , in which twice a week an instructor taught her how to move more, for example by requiring her to walk on the treadmill at least twenty minutes per session. You can understand that for a severely obese, learning to move more is a challenge. After shedding the first few pounds without doing anything other than bi-weekly fitness, Natasha thought it was worth doing some serious work: she devoted two weekly sessions to aerobic disciplines like zumba , and two weekly sessions to kickboxing , to put on some strength. ‘of muscles.
This is very important:if for the first few kilos in fact aerobics can be a holy hand, later combining it with another type of muscularly more demanding activity allows us to gain lean mass and lose fat. If we have to lose a lot of kilos, the loss of fat mass and the growth of lean mass occur almost simultaneously. Furthermore, an activity that involves the muscles allows us to keep the metabolism high.
Only after some time, Natasha cut back on her diet by forgoing refined carbohydrates and sugary drinks , and making a commitment to eat more protein to keep herself satisfied.
The result is the one in the photo: minus 80 kilos in two years, although from the photo you will notice that they look much more. This is thanks to her physical activity, which made Natasha more toned.
