How a couple from the United States got rid of 190 kilos of excess weight to become parents
When doctors told the Americans Dustin and Rachel Hall that they could become parents only by losing a lot of weight, the couple seriously got down to business. As a result, the Halls threw off almost two hundredweight for two and received the coveted reward – they had a daughter.
A couple of fat men lost 190 kilograms for two after unsuccessfully trying to become parents, which they undertook for seven years. When the doctors told them to lose weight in order to have a baby, they took it seriously – and they did it!
37-year-old Dustin Hall in the process of fighting with excess weight lost 140 kilos, and his wife, 34-year – old Rachel, - 50. Dustin underwent a gastric anastomosis procedure, which reduced the size of his stomach, and switched to a low-carb, high-protein diet, which helped him lose weight from 241 to 96.7 kilograms.
Inspired by his success, Rachel underwent the same operation – and a little over a year later became pregnant. 9 months later, the couple from Lathrop, Northern California, had a daughter, Presley.
Dustin, an insurance company employee, says:
Dustin was put on a tightening tourniquet on his stomach, limiting its volume and capacity. In addition, he reduced the amount of carbohydrates in the diet and increased protein, giving up fast food and eating meat, fish, vegetables and fruits.
For two and a half years, the volume of Dustin decreased by 7 sizes.
Instead of going to restaurants together, the couple now works out together in the gym.
Despite the success in losing weight, the couple was shocked when Rachel became pregnant.
Dustin is convinced that they had a child only because they were able to lose weight.
