How do you feel about overweight people? Answers can be like: "I treat them" or "I treat them well" and so on. And what is it like for overweight people to live in the world? Denis Markelov knows this for sure, who has lost 100 kilograms on his own.
He not only got rid of excess weight himself, but also began to help others to become slim, and quite successfully.
Biography
Denis was born in St. Petersburg, grew up with his mother and grandmother. He was fat since childhood, so he was always offended. They calmly treated the fat boy only in the kindergarten, and as soon as he went to school, real hard labor began: he was called names and beaten by all and sundry. Even those who were only a little thinner.
It was unbearable, and in the middle of the ninth grade, Denis dropped out of school without receiving a secondary education.
Soon his mother died, and his grandmother was never able to force the stubborn teenager to return to school. He stated that he would "deal with computers" and that he would make a living. And he began to study computer games.
Denis gradually grew up, and his weight grew with him. By the mid-nineties, he weighed almost 200 kilograms. He was a typical IT guy of the nineties: with a beard and long hair. Despite all the hopes, the IT sphere did not bring him money, and he had to go to work.
This was unusual - after all, he usually left the house at most twice a month, and the rest of the time he sat in his favorite chair at an old computer.
Markelov went to work: he sold discs on the market. At first he was shy, and then he realized that this was at least some kind of communication. Of course, people pointed fingers at him, but he got used to it.
Once Denis read an article that the weight of a person is related to the position he occupies. The higher the position, the lower the weight. Probably because the more responsibility a person can cope with, the more responsibility he treats his body. This text made him think about his life.
Denis weighed himself in the market - on a scale for potatoes. The arrow froze at one hundred and ninety-seven kilograms. It was bitter, but what can you do? And when they called me to the military registration and enlistment office and measured the pressure, they immediately gave me a "white ticket" That is, they identified the guy as a person completely unfit for the army.
So days went by, until his own aunt told him about the "miracle of raw food" and encouraged him to join their family in this matter. And lo and behold - it took thirty kilograms in a month! But it was just water, because then the weight froze and did not move downward in any way. And it was worth eating pasta or other similar food, as he quickly went up.
However, this was already the result, and Denis was supported and inspired by this fact - he believed that you can still lose weight. True, raw food was already tired of rejection, and he began to look for his way to a slender body.
There are no former ones who have lost weight
Now Denis knows that the nutritional situation needs to be controlled if you are inclined to be overweight. And that there is no magic pill that will help you lose weight overnight. Many years of personal experience led him to these conclusions, when he tried to become slimmer and tried many diets and exercise.
He has a friend who lost weight on amphetamines. That is, he did not want to make his own efforts, to understand the processes that take place in his body. He wanted to take a pill and lose weight, and he took these funds until he had a stroke. Markelov realized that this was not an option either. And he began to look, as they say, his own way.
In his own words, at first he did everything that was not necessary to do, and by the method of elimination he came to what should be done. And now he has his own weight loss system, which helps most of the people who turn to him.
Why the majority and not all? Man is a complex creature, often contradictory. The conditions are not suitable for someone, and he simply pretends that he does everything, and he himself "quietly" at night goes to the refrigerator. Someone does not like the coach himself, and this is not surprising - it is impossible for everyone to like it.
One way or another, but now Markelov is in excellent shape, and this is a direct evidence of the effectiveness of his system. This system is based on proper nutrition, and Denis is confident that nutrition is the basis of harmony.
What about sports? According to his personal experience, he began to play sports when he lost weight. That is, at first he had an incentive to lose weight. And when the weight returned to normal, the stimulus was gone. Then he decided to become a kind of "jock" and became one.
In the process of losing weight, Markelov brought out many misconceptions that exist in modern diets. Determined where the truth is, and where are the marketing techniques of sports centers. And he created his own system, which is now popular.
Now Markelov has his own clinic in Moscow, which you can read about on his social networks and on the website.
Personal life
There were times when Denis thought that his wife and children were an impossible dream for him. He was withdrawn, sullen and unsociable. However, when I lost some weight, I started going to clubs and in one of them I met my future wife.
He then lost a lot of weight, started going to the gym and felt quite cool. Probably, this helped him to approach a beautiful girl and invite her to dance.
Then there was a wedding, they became husband and wife, and then they had two daughters, who can also be seen on Denis's social networks.
Today Markelov is an accomplished nutritionist who dreams of moving west with his system and writing a book about it.
