From 100 to 74 kilos in a year: the diet sparking debate on a forum

From 100 to 74 kilos in ten months: rice, tuna and chicken

A man claims he went from 100 to 74 kilos in ten months. He shares the story while asking for help reaching 45,000 posts on a discussion forum, and the conversation drifts toward his method: a severe calorie deficit, a monotonous diet and isometric exercise. If the figure holds up, it implies an average loss of about 2.5 kilos a month, a pace considered high but not impossible in the world of nutrition.

He doesn't come to the story alone. His weight history says a lot: 56 kilos, then 62, later 68, then 75, a peak of 100 and now 74. A back-and-forth journey he attributes to a metabolism he calls exceptional and to a discipline he sums up in three foods. Rice, tuna and chicken for a year, he says, like reciting a penance.

How much weight can you lose in ten months

The arithmetic behind the story is simple: 26 kilos in ten months, about 2.6 a month. That figure fits an aggressive, sustained calorie deficit, though his interlocutor himself admits not everyone can keep up that pace. Some respond with skepticism: no ordinary person loses 26 kilos in a year just by writing a thousand posts every morning. The comment is tongue-in-cheek, but it points to a real doubt about whether the method is sustainable.

The most striking detail isn't the diet but the context in which it's told. The original request was something else: reaching 45,000 posts. The weight comes up as an appeal to authority in the middle of an exchange of insults, and that's the curious part. The nutrition conversation begins as a defense against a jab about someone's physique, not as a genuine question.

Urine tonalidad as a warning sign

Elsewhere in the exchange, the same interlocutor describes a striking symptom: greenish-yellow, even fluorescent, urine. He mentions it casually and blames his metabolism. The conversation then shifts to questions about digestion and bowel movements, with answers that mix diet and exercise.

It's worth separating the tone from the content. A greenish or fluorescent tint to urine can have various causes and isn't something you can simply chalk up to a fast metabolism. The story is a personal anecdote, not a diagnosis, and anyone reading it should treat it as what it is: an informal conversation between strangers.

What this conversation is really about

The underlying issue isn't the diet. It's the attention economy of a space where post number 45,000 matters more than the argument. The plea for help reaching that number becomes the centerpiece, and everything else —the weight, the diet, the urine colors— serves as ammunition in an exchange of grievances.

One reply sums up the mood: I'd give you mine, but I deleted them along the way. Solidarity exists, but it arrives late and with strings attached. Another participant declares the whole thing isn't worth the fuss. The conversation goes nowhere, and that's precisely the conclusion: a thread about losing weight that ends up being a thread about counting posts.

How many of those taking part truly believe in the method, and how many were just passing through?
