Peter s youth He went in for sports and devoted himself to judo. He often appeared as a participant in many competitions, in which he often became a winner.

After Peter completed his studies at high school, he quit playing sports. He began to devote a lot of time to his studies at college, and at night he worked part-time in a club as an MC.

When sports became a thing of the past, the guy’s weight began to grow. Peter didn’t pay much attention to this, but only until the girls stopped getting to know him. True, it was already too late; he couldn’t cope on his own.

Excess weight negatively affected not only communication with his girlfriend, but also at work. Peter noted that living with excess weight is incredibly difficult; you have to feel disadvantaged in almost everything.

I came to the project “Weighted People” not only to lose weight, but also to regain lost health, to become happy man. Plus, Peter noted that he wants to prove by his own example that it is possible to change your life, you just need to take the first step.

During the project he had an affair with Vesta. The young people fell in love with each other so much that Peter even decided to take his chosen one as his wife. True, after the show the wedding never took place.

Returning home, Peter continued to play sports, promotes sports and healthy image life, bought myself a Mercedes coupe, as well as a short leather jacket, which I could only dream of before.

Peter confidently walked towards the finals, showing the participants his determination. In one of the competitions, when participants lost more than 40 kg, they were asked to remember how heavy they lived with before participating in the project. The hardest thing was for Peter, who carried half a hundredweight on himself.

In the final of the “Weighted People” project, the winner was Peter Vasiliev, who proved to everyone that it’s never too late to start living again!

After the project, I met a girl, they had a son, they named him Matvey.

16.08.2015

Petr Vasiliev became the winner of the “Weighted People” show on the STS TV channel.

3 heroes reached the final - Pyotr Vasiliev from the Kaliningrad region, Vesta Romanova from St. Petersburg and Maxim Nekrylov from Nizhny Novgorod.
Based on the results of the final weigh-in, the winner of the show and the owner cash prize in the amount of 2,500,000 rubles became Pyotr Vasiliev.

In total, the young man lost 57.9 kg or 37.35%.

A whole year has already passed since the end of filming of the reality show. Peter turned out to be worthy of the title of winner - after the project he did not return to old habits, but training and healthy eating became part of his new life. In addition, with another participant in the show, Maxim Nekrylov, they organized the group “I can do anything.”

Petr Vasiliev spoke about his life after the project, popularity and plans for the future in an interview with the STS TV channel. Anyone could ask their question to Peter inofficial group of the reality show “Weighted People”.

— Petya, did the project push you to do something else in life, did it give you more confidence?

- In fact, I didn’t even expect that so many new interests would appear. Of course, before participating in the show, I understood: if I manage to lose weight, my horizons will expand. But I didn’t realize how enormously things would change! I have already participated in CrossFit competitions several times. At home in Kaliningrad, out of fifteen participants, he showed the eighth result. And I don’t want to stop there. My plans are to graduate from a specialized institution, where I can get a medical education in order to become a coach.

— Are there any difficulties in communicating with people now?

- No difficulties. First of all, there is nothing wrong with people recognizing me. Secondly, this is not pointing a finger: “Look how fat and ugly person" And, on the contrary: “Look how much he has achieved and how great he looks.” I am pleased to become an example for others. For example, one mother wrote that she could not force her son to walk outside and work out with the guys on the playground. After the program was shown, she could not bring the child home! Now the boy has an active, mobile life.

When I have time, I always answer. Everyone who is for a healthy lifestyle is on the same wavelength with me, these are my like-minded people. I didn't realize before how important it is to share information with people. I would like to hold a meeting in Kaliningrad to communicate live.

— Would you like to meet again with the participants of the show “Weighted People”?

- I have a connection with them huge amount emotions, which are divided into positive and negative. We overcame difficulties together, and, of course, I am in favor of seeing each other.

— Do you maintain a relationship with someone after the project?

— I communicate with a good half of the participants in social networks and by phone. We constantly keep in touch with Maxim and Vesta. We are united by common interests - various sports projects. I communicate with Mitya Kudryavtsev, sometimes online with Anya Grivkova, Vlad and others.

- Do you have a dream?

— Maxim and I created the group “I can do anything.” I would like this movement to grow into an annual sports festival where everyone could take part. Including people with disabilities. We want to show that any person, to the best of his physical abilities, can develop and become better.

— What did you do in your free time on the project?

— We were completely limited: we didn’t even have a TV. And, frankly, I belong to the small category of participants who could not afford a vacation. Those who allowed themselves to do this did not reach the end. During the entire project, there were several walks around the territory of the house, which, by the way, has a large area. And yet it was a movement.

— At the beginning of the project, didn’t you have a desire to give up everything and not change?

“The first two weeks were the most difficult for me. But I was always guided by the thought: if I give up now, it means that fate has made a mistake on my behalf. Several thousand came to the casting, and only eighteen lucky ones were given a chance. I couldn't afford to feel sorry for myself because it might never happen again. And I understood that I had to go through this path from beginning to end.

— What is the most valuable advice you received from the coaches on the project?

— Everything that Denis and Ira said were mega professional recommendations. But most of all I remember this: if you want to feel sorry for yourself during training, then this is a signal - you need to double the load.

- How much do you weigh now?

- 104 kilograms. Everyone knows that muscle weighs much more than fat. (At the finals Peter weighed 97.1 kg - approx. ed.) These are completely different criteria - now I evaluate myself not by weight, but by appearance, endurance, amount of muscle mass, according to the time during which I do the training complex. I feel great now!

— How did you deal with the problem of sagging skin?

— When you lose weight extremely, it is immediately visible, especially in the areas of the abdomen and arms. I encountered this problem only after the project. Returning home, I went for treatments where I received wraps and massages. Afterwards I reinforced the effect in the gym.

— Do you have overweight friends to whom you showed by your example that anything is possible and motivated them to go in for sports?

— During the time that I have been away from the project, several people from my circle have achieved good results. The minimum effect is 12 kg, and the maximum is 20. For example, one of my friends lost weight from 86 to 68 kg. Everything happened smoothly: proper nutrition, sports three times a week, swimming pool, plus my recommendations. I'm not an expert, but I can advise something. It all depends on the desire! For example, Olesya Smirnova did not stay on the project for long, but we see that after that she achieved her goal. And this is a completely different Olesya.

- How do you eat now?

“I was afraid that when I returned, it would be difficult to resist sweets.” But I soon realized that there was no attachment. To avoid fat deposits, I completely eliminated sweets, preservatives and foods with chemical additives. I try to follow all the advice I received on the project. My morning starts with a hearty breakfast: porridge or yeast-free bread, oven-baked chicken, or sandwiches or light salad. Everything we ate on the show, just in different proportions. I eat about 1800-2200 calories per day: I eat small portions four to five times a day.

— Advice for those losing weight from Peter: how to deal with temptations during feasts, holidays, and corporate events?

- It's a matter of choice. If you want to be beautiful and slim, you must understand: if you have a predisposition to be overweight, you need to limit yourself. Nobody says you can’t eat anything. You can choose what suits you best: light salads or low-fat foods.

— If you were on the other side of the screen, who would you root for?

“I thought about it and analyzed it many times, because I know all the participants well, I know who they really are. Most likely, for those with whom I reached the final: for Mitya, Maxim, Vesta, Vlad, Anya and Oksana.

- Which one is the best? valuable lesson did you get on the project?

— They took me away for 120 days, thereby, as if they crossed out my entire biography and completely rebooted my brain. I returned as a completely different person, as if I had been born again.

The main thing I would like to convey to people is that you need to move as much and spend as much energy and calories as you consume. Before the project I did not have such an understanding. Now I know why weight is gained, why people feel sorry for themselves, why they don’t realize that they have gained 20-30 kg. And the most important thing is that they not only explained to us how this happened, but also helped us fix the problem.

— Have your relationships with family, friends and colleagues changed after the project?

— Relatives also remained close people. But their attitude towards food has changed: I no longer see fried potatoes, sausages, or sausages on the table. Now everything is baked in the oven. A very significant moment: when my mother visited me for the first time, she weighed 115 kg, but in the finals it was already 103. After I returned home, her weight dropped to 90 kg.

My friend and I have more common interests. He is an athlete, he works out, and now I do crossfit. And now we constantly exchange experiences.

— What advice can you give to the participants of the second season of the “Weighted People” project?

“I want them to understand that this is a one-way street.” It doesn't matter who wins. If you have taken this path, you need to go through it. The person who reaches the end will change his life. After which many things will become available: you can safely buy clothes in stores, drive a car. There will be a huge amount of entertainment in life, and thousands of pleasures will become possible.

How are your relationships with the opposite sex now?

—During the project, I had a warm relationship with Vesta. Many believe that everything was for the sake of ratings. In fact, when a man and woman are in a confined space, this can happen. After Weighted People ended, we decided to remain friends. Now we have common interests related to sports. And soon after returning home, I met beautiful girl. I didn’t even think that everything would turn out so wonderfully. Now we live together, and we have joint plans for life. I understand that I don’t need anyone except her.

— Did life become easier after the project?

- This is absolutely new life, another awareness and understanding of it. Such a thrill! Previously, everything was a burden: bad mood, unimportant physical condition, constant depression. Now I enjoy everything, and for this I am grateful to the creators of the show “Weighted People” and those people who worked with me.

Yulia Kovalchuk about Peter's victory on the project "Weighted People":

“I think that many TV viewers, coaches and everyone involved in this project understood that in the end the main battle was fought between Peter and Maxim. Just as much as they were rivals, they helped each other in the fight. Until the last moment of the weigh-in, no one, including me, knew that Petya would win. I understood that the result could differ by a few hundredths of a gram, so I, just like the participants, stood on stage with bated breath and waited to see who the winner would be. And the fact that Petya became him is fair and deserved. I saw perfectly well how he broke himself, gave all his strength to the “Weighted People” project and his victory. I don’t know what was primary in his urges - the desire to win, lose weight or earn money, but, in any case, he did it with dignity!

Doctors explain the death of participants in a reality show about weight loss.

On Russian television The 3rd season of the television project “Weighted People” (STS) has begun. This is analog American project"The Biggest Loser" According to the plot fat people lose weight under the supervision of doctors and other specialists. The participant who loses the most excess weight receives a prize of 3 million rubles.

The project was launched on our STS channel after it had already been successful in other countries. For example, in Ukraine there were as many as 6 seasons - the project is very popular and is called “Weighted and Happy.”

But recently an emergency happened. At the end of January 2017, a 44-year-old participant in “Weighted and Happy” died. The cause of death of the ex-participant of the television project is actively discussed on social networks. It turned out that this was the third death former heroes reality show "Weighted and Happy". Despite the fact that they are allowed to compete after a thorough medical examination, and professionals monitor their exercise and diet, the question arose: did their weight loss in the TV project provoke the death of people?

Story No. 1
Evgenia Mostovenko (in the photo above she is before and after losing weight) came to the “Weighted and Happy” project in 2013. She was 40 years old at the time. The woman weighed 130 kg and was 170 cm tall. She gained a lot of weight after taking hormonal medications. After 5 weeks, she left the show, having lost 10 kg. At home, Mostovenko continued to lose weight - at the control weigh-in in the reality show, she weighed 94 kg. Total: 36 kg lost in 9 months.

The woman decided to participate in the project in order to give birth to a child for her husband, who was 8 years younger than her. The doctors said: for this you need to lose weight. Another incentive for Evgenia to come on television was the desire to help her daughter lose weight: this season of the project they lost weight in pairs. Zhenya wanted to become an example and company for her Alexandra.
Mostovenko said that after losing weight, her health improved, her legs stopped hurting, and she was able to skate and ride her favorite bicycle.

— Mom is hypertensive. But the pressure only increased when she was nervous,” said Alexandra Mostovenko.
In January 2017, Evgenia’s blood pressure jumped at work, the woman lost consciousness, and a few days later Mostovenko died in intensive care. Diagnosis - cerebrovascular disease (develops against the background of hypertension, causes cerebrovascular accident); stroke.
Zhenya Mostovenko failed to give birth to a second child, but she and her husband collected documents for adoption...

Story No. 2

32-year-old Ilya Yakovlev also died of a stroke. He, like Evgenia Mostovenko, was a participant in the 3rd season of “Weighted and Happy.”
In 2013, the guy reached the final of the television project: he entered the show weighing 147 kg, lost 48 kg, and began to weigh 99 kg. Ilya passed away in 2015.

Yakovlev came to the TV project with the hope of losing weight (he gained weight due to sedentary work and a sedentary lifestyle) and, thanks to this, meeting his soulmate.

All dreams came true: a guy from Donetsk lost weight and fell in love with participant Natasha on the project. A year later the couple got married.

It is worth noting that at the beginning Ilya Yakovlev was even considered lazy on Weighted and Happy. The reason is that he did not strive to lose weight quickly, he refused heavy loads, deciding to lose several kilograms per month. The man was afraid of harming his health.

Story No. 3

52-year-old Igor Pashinsky died of a heart attack. The man came into the 5th season of the television project with a weight of 193 kg (height is 176 cm) and lost 37 kg in 13 weeks. After participating in the show, he continued to lose weight at home - in a month and a half he lost another 14 kg.

Pashinsky decided to lose weight with the help of specialists on television, since he was unable to lose weight on his own. And due to health problems, including obesity, he was afraid of becoming disabled. The man worked in the police, took part in eliminating the consequences of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and when he returned, he began to get sick often. Igor had type 2 diabetes.

After participating in “Weighted and Happy,” Pashinsky began to feel better. “He stopped being afraid of people and hiding from them,” said his wife Galina Pashinskaya. — The weight led to the fact that he practically did not work anywhere for two years. He was removed from the bank: what kind of guard is he who doesn’t get through the door.”

Pashinsky’s wife said that she had not seen her husband so happy for a long time. But a month and a half after returning from filming, Igor passed away - a massive heart attack, coronary heart disease. Galina Pashinskaya said that the doctors admitted to her: if her husband had not gone to the project and lost weight, he would not have lived this time.
They took care of Igor on the project: they exempted him from competitions and gave him light workloads.

The main rules for effective weight loss show Weighted People

Before you understand which program will be effective for a person:

1. You need to understand what your body weight should ideally be (how many kg you need to lose and in what time);
2. Daily calculation of daily kilocalorie intake;
3. Selection individual plan nutrition;
4. Drawing up a training program.

A well-designed diet is a matter of balance. You need to understand what the body receives in excess and what it lacks. In order to get rid of extra pounds, you need to take care of your health first. Do not get hung up on strict diets that lead to exhaustion of the body.

There are only eight correctly effective weight loss:

1. You need to eat small portions 5-6 times a day;
2. Have a hearty breakfast in the morning, also have a good lunch, dinner should be light and don’t forget to have a snack between the three main meals;
3. High carbohydrate food consume before four o'clock in the afternoon;
4. If you have a sweet tooth, then you can eat fruit;
5. Watch the amount of salt that you consume with food. A large amount of sodium retains fluid in the body, which forms edema;
6. Eliminate sugary carbonated drinks from your diet. Soda is very harmful to the body. It contains a lot of sugar and dyes, which is bad for health;
7. Eat separately, combine food correctly;
8. Give up alcohol or limit yourself to it. Alcoholic drinks contain more than the average person's daily caloric intake.

All nutritionists come to a common opinion: nutrition should be varied. Today there are dozens of diets that imply a monotonous low-calorie diet. For example, a drinking diet, kefir or ABC contain very low calories (less than 800) and contribute to the formation of protein-free dystrophy.

Such a nutritional system can only lead to exhaustion of the body, deterioration of the digestive system and slowdown of metabolism.

So what should nutrition be like, according to nutritionists and fitness trainers?

The daily diet should include:

1. 5-10% fat;
2. 40% carbohydrates;
3. 50-56% protein;
4. Fiber (vegetables, herbs, fruits);
5. From 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water (depending on how active your lifestyle is).

Nutrition plays a big role in body building, but don’t forget about the physical activity itself. At least three times a week for 40-60 minutes, you need to give your body aerobic exercise, and after you get rid of a certain number of kilograms, you need to start anaerobic exercise to gain muscle mass.

Kukharenko Andrey:

What is problem weight? First of all, this is a problem that requires an urgent solution. But the incentive to change your body should not be the usual socially imposed way. A person should think not only about the beauty of his body, but also about his health. He must realize it himself and want it.

If an active lifestyle and proper nutrition do not bring you pleasure, then why change anything? This won't work. If you want to change your body for the better, then you have to want to do it yourself, you have to want to change your life.

Leonova Irina:

I believe that excess weight is directly related to psychological problems. Most people do not solve their problems, but “seize” them. Relationship problems are traumatic aspects. And this is not only the relationship between boys and girls, but also between children, parents and society.

Turchinskaya Irina:

In order for you to see the results of your training, keep a diary where you will write down all your results. In addition to sports results, write in it about your dreams and main goal. Describe your diet, training plan, and how you will achieve your goal.

You train under your full responsibility and understand that your body and your health are solely in your hands. And never attribute your failures to other external circumstances.

Semenikhin Denis:

A person begins to change when he gets tired. He is tired of his usual boring life, wanting to change something. Each of us wants to be in a comfort zone; when a person does not want to face difficulties, he says to himself: “Don’t touch me, I’m fine.”

Leaving your comfort zone, realizing that it’s time to act, you need to remember one more thing: you are doing all this for yourself. Not because you respect your fitness trainer or want to please your significant other, but only for your own sake!

Leonova Elena:

All problems come from childhood. If a child with early years parents did not teach how to cope with stressful situations, rely only on themselves and accept challenges outside world, then in the future he risks developing a food addiction. The portion size that is on a child's plate plays a big role.

If you overfeed him, give him a lot of sweets and force him to eat, then as an adult his physiological characteristics will be impaired.

Heroes of the reality show “Weighted People”

Vesta Romanova

Vesta (27 years old) started the project with a weight of 123 kg. During the program she lost 40 kg! Now her weight is 83 kg.

Vesta Romanova decided to lose weight after her boyfriend broke up with her and married another girl. At that moment, Vesta said: “I have nothing more to lose except excess weight.” On the show, she was the most cheerful of all the contestants: she never gave up, did not get upset and encouraged other participants in the project.

Vesta says that motivation is important in any business. “I am a rather lazy person, but the project managed to create the conditions that were ideal for me. I was able to break through a thousand applicants, my life was controlled by trainers and nutritionists. They put together a special diet and training program for me. I quit my job for all this.”

“We lived in a confined space, without the Internet and phones. Every day there were exhausting workouts and healthy food, no sweets,” says Vesta Romanova.

Peter Vasiliev

Vasilyev Petr (27 years old) came to the project weighing 155 kg. During the program he managed to lose 25 kg.

As a teenager, Peter went to the judo section. HE led an active lifestyle and took part in competitions. But after Peter turned 18, he gave up the sport, because he began studying at college and simply did not have time for judo. After physical activity decreased sharply, weight began to gain.

Soon Peter realized that in the world of thin people there is no place for fat people, society does not want to accept them. But he wanted to love and be loved, but excess weight prevented him. Then he realized that it was stupid to dream about it and it was time to take control of the situation.

Having come to the project, Vasiliev Peter, like the other participants, actively took part in sports competitions, ate right and never gave up. He was confident in himself and that is why Peter became the winner of the first season of the “Weighted People” project, reaching a weight of 130 kg.

Nekrylov Maxim

Maxim Nekrylov (29 years old) came to the reality show weighing 176 kg and left with a weight of 147. During the project he managed to lose 29 kg.

Maxim is a fourth generation officer. He dreamed of building a career in the military field, but was unable to pass medical certification. Due to excess weight, Maxim had to leave military service. This was a blow for him and his entire family.

Previously, Maxim led an active life, but for the sake of his career he had to switch to a sedentary job. Because of this, he began to have problems with excess weight. From 90 kg his weight increased to 184 kg.

Then Nekrylov decided to change himself and strive further towards his dream. He took care of himself and lost almost 30 kg, making it to the finals of the Weighted People show.

Shikotko Alexander

Alexander (26 years old) became the heaviest participant in the show. His weight was 220 kg. During the project he managed to lose 24 kg, then his weight reached 196 kg.

Before the project, Alexander lost another 30 kg, previously his weight was 250 kg. He followed a diet, exercised and reached a weight of 220 kg. It was more difficult for him on the project, the diets were more strict, and the loads were heavier.

Alexander admits that he wants to lose weight not because society dictates its standards, but because he just wants to live. Despite all the difficulties, he learned to eat right and look at life differently. “We learned to think differently, we underwent tests not only physical, but also emotional.

The trainers tested our endurance, developed it, and helped us acquire willpower. Soon, diets and physical activity became much easier to bear, as well as moral ones,” says Shikotko.

Despite the fact that Alexander had already left the program, he continued to lose weight.

The program “Weighted and Happy” is the Ukrainian version of the American show The Biggest Loser. The essence of the project is that participants who suffer from excess weight lose weight, and even compete for a prize of 250 thousand hryvnia (almost 9,000 euros). The project is successful and popular, so the seventh season will start this year.

Rules of the project “Weighted and Happy”

At the end of each week, the weight loss teams are weighed, which determines the total weight lost. The team that loses the least weight must vote to determine which competitor will go home. The two people from that team who have lost the least amount of weight are nominated. The winner is the participant who open final in December will lose the most of the initial weight.

Evgenia Mostovenko participated in the project together with her daughter Alexandra, who later had to tell the details of her mother’s death...

All participants are checked

The head of the “Weighted and Happy” project, Natalya Shcherbina, said that all potential participants who passed the casting are examined by doctors: a therapist, a cardiologist, a pulmonologist. Everyone donates urine and blood for a detailed analysis. All participants must be tested for hepatitis and HIV. After the medical examination, the doctor gives an opinion on each applicant - whether a person can participate in the project or his health condition does not allow him.

“They called me and told me that my mother had died”

Perhaps the most “high-profile” death was the death of a participant in the third season of the project, Evgenia Mostovenko. Could a woman have thought that four years after filming she would be gone?

Pashinsky managed to lose 51 kilograms! He was so inspired by the result that he wanted to continue his struggle with weight.

In 2013, 40-year-old Evgenia came to the project with her 17-year-old daughter Alexandra - mostly not for herself, but for her. Mostovenko complained that Sasha was very lazy and easily succumbed to temptations when it came to food. As it turned out, the mother and daughter had previously participated in the “Honey, We Kill Children” program, and even then the girl lost 20 kilograms. True, over time, all efforts were in vain - Alexandra gained even more than her previous weight and began to weigh as much as 105 kilos.

But Mostovenko also went to the project for her own sake. The woman really wanted to give birth to a child for her new husband, who was eight years younger than her, but she couldn’t - she needed to lose weight. Evgenia managed to do this, although the result was not very impressive, and it took her a long time to achieve it. When Mostovenko came to the project, she weighed 130 kilograms, and nine months later the scales showed a double-digit number - 94. But this was enough for the woman - she was very pleased with the new weight.

Igor understood that such a figure would not fit into any goal, and he wanted to become slim and fit again

Evgenia's death, which occurred in January of this year, came as a shock to many and, naturally, raised many questions. Her daughter tried to satisfy the interest and curiosity of the viewers of the project. If you believe Alexandra’s words, then on the day when her mother was taken to the hospital, they talked on the phone, laughed, everything was fine... Mostovenko approved the list of guests, because the next morning was her birthday. “Literally 20-25 minutes later, her boss asked to pick up her mother from work because her blood pressure had increased. But the ambulance was ahead of me. I saw how my mother was taken out on a gurney unconscious. The doctors said that as soon as they left work, she immediately fell into a coma and everything that was in her stomach went into respiratory tract. She was in critical condition- cerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. The next morning, my mother came to her senses, but the doctors decided to keep her in a medically induced coma - she could not breathe on her own. In the following days she looked good, although she lost a lot of weight. And on the morning of January 26, I went into the intensive care unit and saw that my mother’s face and neck were red and blue. An hour and a half later they called me and told me that my mother had died - they couldn’t restart the heart.”

The woman's death certificate states that she had cerebrovascular disease, a hemorrhagic stroke.

Didn't have time to adopt a child

Evgenia Mostovenko has long wanted to become a mother for the second time, but her excess weight did not allow her. But the woman found a way out - last year she and her young husband prepared documents for adoption. The couple even found one child whom they wanted to take into the family. Evgenia began to find out what was needed for adoption, but did not have time to complete this matter.

On the “Weighted and Happy” project, Yakovlev found his soulmate - Natalya Moskalenko. The couple planned to live happily ever after...

“He really wanted to live”

At the end of 2015, Igor Pashinsky, a participant in the fifth season of the “Weighted and Happy” project, who really wanted to get back into good shape, passed away. Igor once served in the airborne troops, then worked in the police. When the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, I went to the liquidation site and worked in a 30-kilometer zone. Problems began after returning from there - I started getting sick, gained excess weight, and then type 2 diabetes.

Igor decided to try himself on the project because he understood that such weight, given his health, could cause disability, and he said that he wanted to be the same as before: strong and fit, so that people would look at him with respect and not with pity. When Pashinsky came to the project, he weighed as much as 193 kilograms and lost 37 kilograms in 13 weeks! But the man did not stop there - during the month and a half he spent at home, he lost another 14 kilograms and settled on the number 142. He simply did not have time to lose even more weight...

Project manager Natalya Shcherbina assured that Igor, as himself heavy participant they took care of them and freed them from training and stress at the slightest indisposition. If, for example, Igor turned pale, swayed or was breathing heavily, they immediately asked him to sit and rest. A man diagnosed with arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity practically did not participate in competitions.

Igor’s wife Galina Pashinskaya remembers that after the project her husband returned home happy and joyful, he really wanted to live. Igor came with the hope that he would lose more weight... “He stopped being afraid of people and hiding from them, he wanted to be in plain sight. He was really happy - many noticed this. He told me: “I’m doing all this for you.” And his words inspired me. We were everywhere together. These one and a half months after the project we were happy, as, probably, in the first days of our married life.”

Pashinskaya remembers the fateful November day of 2015 like it was yesterday: “Igor was at training in the morning, in the evening we went to the river to swim. He felt fine. And in the morning he felt bad. I had a headache. He tells me: “I probably won’t accompany you, I’ll lie down.” At 11 he called and said that he felt bad. Igor has never said this before! He was admitted to the hospital with ulcer bleeding. This was the initial diagnosis. But then, as it turned out, he was having a massive heart attack. The autopsy showed that the diagnosis was initially made incorrectly and the treatment was prescribed incorrectly. He was given IV drips to stop ulcer bleeding, and a lot of them, but this could not be done... More negligence. A person's heart stops, and there is no one anywhere. Nobody! There is no attending physician! It’s very hard to remember..."

Galina does not hide the fact that she asked the doctors directly about the project - they say, whether it brought harm. And the answer was “No.” “On the contrary, if Igor had not gone to the project and lost weight, he would not have lived this time...”

Ilya’s weight loss was tremendous! The man learned to give up harmful foods, but, alas, this did not save him

"I'm not going to stop"

The bronze medalist of the third season of reality, Ilya Yakovlev, was lucky - he not only lost weight and took a worthy place, but also met his love on the project - Natalya Moskalenko. After the show, their relationship only strengthened, and in 2014 they got married. Ilya was very happy - he talked about how long life together they are planning and dreaming of children... “For my chosen one, it is now more important to maintain her full health, because we still want to have a child in the near future. Therefore, I repeatedly told her that such crazy loads are not needed now. Losing 2-3 kilograms a month to get back to normal shape will be enough for both her and me. “I’m not going to stop,” said Yakovlev, rejoicing at how great his life was going.

Three years ago, The Biggest Loser contestant Damian Gurganious died at the age of just 38.

Ilya came to the project weighing 147 kilograms, lost 48 kilograms and showed a result of 99 kg on the scales at the final post-show. In 2014, Ilya was proud of the fact that he completely gave up flour, the things he used to love very much - pasta, dumplings, dumplings, pancakes. The project changed Yakovlev’s consciousness, so these dishes began to appear on his plate literally once a month. “Looking at how much I ate before and how much now, while being normally full, I can hardly imagine that I could now eat as much as I ate before the project,” Yakovlev boasted. But, unfortunately, proper nutrition did not protect Ilya from death. In May 2015, a 32-year-old man suffered a stroke, after which he died...
