The only real way to lose weight

derbygraham

I rediscovered this trick to losing weight. Over the Christmas period I have actually lose 2 kilograms of weight. How ? I hear you ask. Was it keto ? was it atkins ? Was it the famous Brussel Sprout diet ? NO. It was catching a nasty case of the flu.

A few years ago I went to India and spent the following week losing weight.

I lost 3kg this way, when I had gastroenteritis.

My sister passed on gastro one Christmas as a lovely present. Except for my sister, we were fine for a lovely Christmas day feast but the following day or so weren't pleasant in the slightest. Kind of wish my sister had stayed at home that year.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

@Lillymoo01 Thanks for your kind wishes. Feeling great today after a week of illness. Now down to 81 kg from 85kg last week.

I know someone who lost 30 pounds in one day. They had a massive benign tumor and it was surgically removed. They also lost another 40 pounds or so during the recovery process and had to gain some of it back afterwards. They went from "obese" according to BMI calculations to underweight in a few months.

Nine years ago, age 54, I caught the flu. I was pretty fit at the time and ended up with what I called my swine flu abs.

@laurenq1991 I hope you acquaintance is doing well. @pogiguy05 I borrowed Dwayne's picture since I have been told we could be dopplegangers. Whenever I tried to upload a picture the system reported me to the ugly police.

A friend beats all of us for how much weight she lost one Christmas Day. I don't know how much but it was significant. She had a baby.
