He was obese himself but used to reduce fat of others, then the doctor made a plan; 25 kg weight loss happened in 42 days

Many times a doctor gives perfect treatment to others but fails to take care of his own health. Today we will tell the story of a medical practitioner from China who is no less than an inspiration.
Doctor Lost 25 Kg Weight In 42 Days: Many doctors advise us to lose weight, but sometimes they themselves become obese. According to a report by the South China Morning Post , a doctor who effectively lost 25 kg in just 42 days has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms as he won several awards in a fitness contest.
Doctor's inspiring story
Wu Tiangen, 31, who works as a surgeon at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in central Hubei province, decided to embark on a fitness journey after gaining weight due to the often sedentary lifestyle associated with hospital work.
He used to help people lose weight.
Wu Tiangen was diagnosed with mild fatty liver in 2023 and his weight reached 97.5 kg last year. In his daily work, Wu used to deal with obese patients and help them lose weight through surgery. However, after seeing his condition, Wu decided to change things.
Decided to lose weight herself,
Wu said, "If I can't save myself, how can I save others?" Wu hired Shi Fan, a top athlete who won the overall fit model championship at last year's IFBB World Fit Model Championships in Lithuania, as her coach and began her weight loss journey.
What was the plan?
The student-coach duo made a plan to reduce fat and increase muscles in a short time. Only 2 things were mandatory in this process: 2 hours of exercise every day and 6 hours of continuous sleep.
How did they prepare for the competition?
Such was his dedication that he managed to lose weight in about six weeks. As the competition drew closer, Wu intensified his training by spending about four hours a day in the gym. "Wu's training intensity is higher than many professional athletes," Shi said.
TOUGH CHALLENGE
Weighing 73.5kg and standing 182cm tall, Wu took part in the Tianrui Cup Fitness and Bodybuilding Match in January. As the only doctor in the field, the challenge was tough, but Wu managed to win the newcomer and fit model categories as well as the most popular contestant title.
What did the doctor recommend?
When asked about his advice to people who want to be healthy like him, Wu said, "You should make a long-term plan to lose weight and stick to it. I do not advocate short-term, drastic methods that involve eating very little." According to the report, Wu has helped about 100 people successfully lose weight in recent years.
