Once weighed 132 kg, tried to lose weight and became a famous 'male god'

Lose 44 kg

Linh said that in 2018, he weighed 132 kg. At first, seeing his plump body, Linh thought "it's probably nothing, maybe I'm just a bit chubby". But then, after hearing his friends' comments, this young man was surprised: "It turns out I'm really fat".

"The reason for my excess weight was because I ate too much for a long time. In addition, I did not have a regular lifestyle or exercise regimen. This led to my weight increasing over time," Linh recalled.

One time, Linh was surfing Facebook and accidentally saw an acquaintance's personal page. "They impressed me because they had strong bodies and looked very attractive. Looking at my body, I felt... bored. So I decided to lose weight," Linh said.

According to Linh, although he tried very hard to lose weight to have a strong body like others, it was not an easy journey.

"At first, I thought that simply eliminating starch and eating very little would help me lose weight successfully. But in reality, that was not the case. Eating very little is a challenge that is not easy to overcome. I searched for other ways to lose weight on Google and tried them, but found that the regimen was very harsh and unscientific, so I gave up after more than a week," Linh said.

Linh weighed 132 kg in 2018.

By September 2018, Linh began to learn more about reasonable and scientific weight loss methods and began to follow them. One of the key factors is to actively exercise. Linh worked hard every day, every hour with the determination to lose weight successfully.

"132 kg is too heavy. I wanted to get my weight down to around 90 kg. And after about 1.5 years, what I wanted came true. Besides losing weight and fat, my muscles also became more visible," Linh proudly recounted.

Currently, this 29-year-old man maintains his body weight between 88 - 90 kg and pursues a professional bodybuilding career.

"For many people, that weight may be a lot and considered fat. But because I am 1.86 meters tall, according to many comments, my body is ideal. I still try to keep my muscle mass and body fat (the percentage of fat compared to total body weight - PV) under control," Linh added.

Linh threw herself into exercise to lose weight.

Want to help young people exercise more

According to Linh, the time of being overweight has led to having to "live with" disadvantages and limitations. For example, every time Tet comes, it is extremely difficult to find a suitable outfit that can cover up the body's flaws, hide the fat belly, and "plump" body. In addition, he also faces a series of diseases: cardiovascular, liver, kidney, bone and joint diseases...

"Especially, my mobility was very limited. Walking, standing, sitting... were all difficult," Linh continued to recall.

This guy is a student of social literature at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (Cambodia). But because of his chubby body, Linh lost many job opportunities and was rejected by employers.

After a successful weight loss journey, Linh decided to pursue a career as a freelance model and fitness trainer. Thanks to his masculine face, Possessing a handsome appearance and a standard body, many people call Linh a "male god", with a large number of fans and followers.

In 2023, Linh was honored to be chosen to represent Vietnam to participate in the World Supermodel. This is a beauty and fitness contest for men in the world and Linh won the title of 3rd runner-up.

In the above competitions, in the interview, Linh always shared with the judges that his biggest dream is to contribute to promoting the sports movement in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general. Through that, he can share a lot of knowledge with everyone, especially the young, to maintain health in the best way.

Faced with the reality that there are a number of young people who are lazy and rarely exercise, Linh said: "I used to be like that. I used to just want to lie in bed and was afraid of exercising. And the end result was that my weight reached 132 kg. So I hope that young people do not waste themselves and unintentionally lose their health just because of laziness. Maybe in the moments when they think they are enjoying life like eating freely, sleeping comfortably... they will not see the consequences. But when they realize it, they will be very panicked and bored with the numbers on the scale. We need to change our thinking, start exercising regularly and moderately."

With a masculine, handsome face and a toned, muscular 6-pack body, Linh is a popular model.

For those who are overweight and want to lose weight, from his experience, Linh shares: "To lose weight, you need to be persistent and patient. Besides, you need to have effective and scientific weight loss measures. And the effort will help change the large number of kilograms into the desired weight."
