An island in diet

The Frisian Long Island has recently oog good quarter ton easier. Nearly two dozen residents hungerten and schwitzten three months effective media fat from the hips

The man looks like from the sofa, when other on the wheel abs trample and the lust for beer and chips to fight. The thought also seems to be a private channels and quickly put an island in the spotlight of the cameras on diet: Under the motto "Every kilogram counts" 21 islanders tried for three months, their excess pounds in the abdomen, legs and get rid of Po. "All participants highly motivated," says fitness coach Michael Deminatus Net Doctor in the interview his first impression of the diet force. Together with a nutritionist, he helped the thickness of Langeoog in the fight against the kilos.

Heavy weighty Islanders

The removing most of the participants were urgently needed. Together, they initially proud kilo in 2170 the balance. Because some were not just moppelig but even obese (obese). For example, the 21-year-old Ramona: fat and calorie bombs, the young cook every day in the hand - and often enough in the mouth. At the beginning of the diet weighed the young woman at a height of 1.68 meters impressive 105 kilos.

Ramona is not an isolated case. About two-thirds of all adult men and more than half of women in England, according to the Health Report to the Federal round. This also applies to about 15 percent of children and adolescents, reported the Association of obesity in childhood and adolescence (AGA).

Sports can be found

With inidiv vidual sports tips tried Deminatus island residents palatable to the decline. In individual training showed that physical conditions, the participants had. The advice had to be tailor-made, because gymnastics, jogging or walking does not correspond to any people.

The 18-year-old Kevin, for example, was able to measure fitness for any really excited. His 127 kilos had been the hairdresser brings back problems. The fitness coach had to search long until he is the right attraction for the teenager was: "With kick-boxing, it worked."

Motivation - stay tuned!

The motivation to play for the success of pants from an important role. Marius, 14, was the youngest and rich with 134 kilos at the same time worst candidate. The 1.85-metre ver students expressed alone in the school six break bread and hung soccer flaccid between the goalposts. His own sports program, he simply did not initially. "I had to get him somehow different," says the coach.

Speeches, motivate and explain not only give up - it took until Marius kapierte the importance of exercise and healthy eating. "From a 14-year-olds can not expect the same understanding as a 24-year-olds," said the expert. His patience finally paid off: "Marius has a real sense slowly change through and become the Vorzeige candidates." Eventually he brought the other for sports training and not vice versa.

Tight stomach, healthy body

The remaining From speck - Force learned that Minihan Flexi cash resources and no children's toys, the training really go into the muscles and a tight six-pack instead of optical Schwabbelbauch well received. "Appearance and size clothes were not the only thing that the islanders from the specken motivated," white.

Above all, the men caused by blood pressure, cholesterol & Co. The zentnerschwere Uwe teachers about the diet before had a lot of tablets to his high blood pressure swallow. Now he is 15 kilos lighter and comes with half the dose.

Kling couple purse

Good was the Abspecken for health, but also for the island wallet. For each kilogram, there were 100 euros - money that the whole island should benefit. "Especially towards the end, this idea has driven the participants," says Deminatus. Gelohnt has, because until the end, the Force had a total of 273 kilos abtrainiert. The largest of them gets Batzen school för derverein Langeoog for nutritional advice and sports promotion.

The long-term effect

However, the desire for more exercise and fewer calories, if the cameras? At least some of the participants would continue to fight their obesity, believes Deminatus. Marius, up to the finals lost 17 kilos, speckt continued to fall, approaching its goal of 85 kilos. Kevin also wants the 100-kg mark crack. The TV campaign was probably the impetus for them to lose weight so far lacked. Perhaps the channel so invested in future not only in serious Islands, but the total thick German country. It should, however, the poor ratings rise.
