The benefits of hunger: vlogger lost 50 extra pounds thanks to an interval diet

A resident of Missouri has lost almost half her weight, thanks to extreme fasting. She has changed so much that people don't believe the photos in her passport. Rachel Sharp-Olsen felt ashamed when, after a 3-kilometer hike with her boyfriend, she was completely exhausted. The girl was so tired that she could not walk to the car. Since then, she decided to change everything and turned from a fat woman into a stand-up.23-year-old Rachel weighed 107 kg and constantly leaned on fast food. In a year and two months, she managed to lose 50 kg.

Rachel is now 27 years old. She wears size 42 clothes and weighs 67 kg. But once an American woman bought clothes of the 56th size.

The girl is sometimes asked if this is really her photo in her passport and driver's license — she has changed so much.

At a time when Rachel was suffering from excess weight, she went camping with her future husband. After three kilometers, the girl was so tired that she could not return to the car. She was ashamed that the groom Yang was cheerful and full of energy, and she felt like a wreck. Since then, she has decided to change.

If earlier the vlogger leaned on pancakes, waffles, burgers, pizza, fried potatoes and pasta, now she eats oatmeal, fish, chicken, meat, salads and vegetables.

Rachel has a body dysmorphic disorder — an extreme degree of concern about her appearance. 62,000 users have subscribed to her YouTube channel. In her childhood and youth, she often heard unpleasant remarks about her appearance from others. After losing weight, the girl became much happier and more confident. The vlogger feels better and is no longer shy about her body.

Emma Forester from the UK was also motivated by shame to lose weight. A young mother decided to lose weight after seeing herself in photos from her son's christening.
