Summary / TL;DR - Feb: A professor from a top 3 medical school told me I could "collapse at any time." ๐ฐ๐ฅ - Mar: I have reduced my body fat to an acceptable range.". ๐ช - Apr: Even under heavy work stress, Iโve partially maintained my body composition! ๐ผ๐ก๏ธ My Question for the Community: In my case, harsh words improved my body composition. Have you ever experienced something "bad" or discouraging that eventually turned into a "good" or huge win? ๐๐ The Full Story Back in February, a high-ranking medical professor looked at my blood work and told me I could "collapse at any time." ๐ฐ He immediately prescribed statins. My family was furious, and I was incredibly anxious. That fear pushed me to completely overhaul my diet and design my own meal plan. ๐ฅ๐ By late March, I sought second and third opinions. One doctor still wanted me on meds, but another saw my progress and agreed to let me try pausing the statins to see how my body responded naturally. ๐๐ฉบ While that first doctorโs delivery was harsh, I stayed so consistent with my new meal plan that my body composition improved drastically by the end of March. โจ๐โโ๏ธ Lately in April, work stress as a "salaryman" has been high, and usually, Iโd be stress-eating. ๐๐ซ But because of the "curse" that put me in that "panic phase," Iโve managed to partially maintain my body composition all through April! Iโve lost a little muscleโlikely due to stress and poor sleepโbut I haven't reverted to my old ways. ๐ก๏ธ๐ด Besides the harsh words from the doctor, my other big motivation has been all the support from everyone in this community. Thank you so much, really! โค๏ธ๐
