'Are You Cheating?' Misunderstood... Husband Becomes a Handsome Man in One Year, Here's the Secret Revealed

Quitting High-Fructose Corn Syrup and Following a 'Low Blood Sugar Diet'

The story of a Chinese nutritionist who lost 50 kg in one year has become a hot topic. He was able to return to a normal weight through meticulous diet management, utilizing his expertise as a nutritionist.

On the 20th (local time), the Chinese local media 'Bastille Post' reported the story of nutritionist Ming. Just a year ago, he was 184 cm tall and weighed 120 kg, but now he has returned to a normal weight of 70 kg.

The reason Ming decided to go on a diet was a visit to his father's hospital room. Ming was shocked when he saw a patient in his 40s lying next to his father, who was a stroke patient. That patient was in a miserable condition, unable to even manage bowel movements on his own after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.

Ming said, "I was shocked by that sight. I thought something similar could happen to me," and added, "I immediately decided to start dieting."

As a nutritionist, Ming applied his expertise to manage his diet. The first thing he implemented was completely cutting out 'sweetened beverages' and 'sugar.' In particular, he did not even touch beverages containing high-fructose corn syrup. In fact, high-fructose corn syrup is identified as one of the causes of obesity.

High-fructose corn syrup is 75% sweeter than sugar while being cheaper, so it is widely used in the beverage manufacturing industry. Its rapid absorption in the body and sharp increase in blood sugar levels lead to quick conversion into body fat, which is a downside.

Additionally, he actively used low glycemic index foods such as oatmeal and whole wheat bread for meals. Oatmeal and whole wheat, which have low glycemic indices, are known as excellent diet foods, having been selected by the US 'New York Times' (NYT) as one of the 'Top 10 Health Foods.' They are rich in protein, essential amino acids, calcium, potassium, iron, and other micronutrients, and also provide long-lasting satiety.

People around Ming were reportedly amazed at his return to a normal weight in just one year. After his wife posted photos on social media (SNS), comments such as "Did you remarry?" and "Are you cheating?" were posted.
