Xiaoma reveals his unexpected transition from being underweight to facing obesity, sparked by weight gains during the pandemic. Initially dismissing the weight gain due to increased exercise and muscle buildup, he soon realized the seriousness of his condition. The turning point came when he decided to revamp his diet, focusing on minimally processed, plant-based foods and reducing intake of grains, meats, and saturated fats. This shift not only led to significant weight loss but also brought about a marked improvement in his overall health, challenging the misconception that losing weight is hormonally impossible.
