今天秘制雞湯的主人公是conrad，一個地產公司的會計，曾經體重最高達350斤，最後減去了約160斤
那些整天破罐子破摔，自暴自棄的胖子，好好看看人家怎麼減的吧，別人家的胖子可以做到一年如一日的控制飲食，沒有放縱日，每天堅持鍛煉，每周減肥2-5斤
你呢，估計每周長2-5斤問題不大，哈哈哈，好吧，直入主題吧。

我辛苦翻譯這麼多，沒有什麼目的，只是想告訴你們，你真的可以，一邊減肥，一邊學英文，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。

We must thank Conrad for his patience, as MAN v FAT hasbeen sitting on his story for so long now that some of the above information isalmost certainly out of date. For example, when last we spoke, he informed usof his intention to keep cutting his weight, with a target of 200lbs in mind.Hopefully, Conrad will be on hand to give us an update of his current weight on Talk,along with a possible confirmation that he is now aged 34 and living on MoonBase 5. That』s not on the moon, it』s just the name of a new housing developmentin Portland.

一個房地產中介的財務，平時工作基本上沒有運動的機會，23年的放縱，不運動，真是積攢了不少脂肪，約350斤啊，國內很少見這樣的胖子，如果誰這麼胖，估計一般人都選擇了破罐子破摔，覺得永遠都減不下去了，但是一個內心強大的胖子永不會妥協，不會失敗，所以永遠不要低估你身邊的胖紙，說不定幾個月不見，他走到你面前，直接亮瞎你的雙眼。先看看他之前的樣子吧（注意：漢字與英文無關）

Conrad, Portlandis known as the capital of hipster culture; did you employ a suitably new age approach to your weight loss?波特蘭是一個hipster文化盛行的城市，你減肥成功是否用了什麼新的方法？

For the first year I did keto. My trainer and friend Kenny Nguyen wrote me abreakdown of what I needed to eat calorie, protein, and fat wise. Iwent to the gym every single day. I weighed every meal, counted every calorie.If I wasn』t 1,000% sure what was in the food, I didn』t eat it. I trackedeverything, I didn』t have any cheat days; as my trainer always said: 「Thefirst 23 years was your cheat day.」 I was strict and never cheated, becauseI knew that would make me weaker.

第一年，我嘗試生酮食療法（Ketogenic food therapy），我訓練師們告訴我應該聰明的進食卡路里，蛋白質，脂肪，我每天都去健身房，計算卡路里，從不吃不明食物，從來沒有任何放縱日，我的訓練師說過，過去的三十年都是你的放縱日，我非常清楚放縱日只會消弱我鬥志。

Did you get any of the side effects that are supposed to go along with keto, such as 「metal breath」? Keto有沒有什麼副作用，比如說，丙酮味口臭？

I did get metal breath slightly, but I always carried around sugar-free mints ormouth wash to cover it up. I was also tired a lot, especially near the end. I』mnot sure if that was the calorie-cutting or the lack of carbs though.

有一點，但是我常備薄荷糖（無糖的）漱口水等，還是挺煩人的，我不知道是不是確實碳水的緣故。

Could you give us a typical example of whatyou ate over the course of an average day?簡單介紹每天都吃點啥吧？

Iliterally ate the same things every day, basically, for a year. I』m serious. Iate eggs, salads, chicken, and bacon every day. It made things simple to keeptrack of and easy to make. I needed to teach my body that food was a tool andnot a treat.

基本上每天都吃一樣的（牛逼），一年如一日，講真，每天就吃雞蛋，沙拉，雞肉，培根，盡量簡化，容易追溯，盡量告訴身體，食物只是一個讓你健康運轉的工具，而不是一個讓你享受的（牛人的觀點就是牛）。

We really admire your approach with the food – how didyou deal with the boredom of eating the same things over and over? Do you thinkthat this would be sustainable long-term or would you add different things backin? Was there anything you missed?你太牛掰了，你怎麼做到每天能吃一樣的食物，你覺得你長期可以做到嗎？還是過段時間你就會吃點其他的？你會饞其他的食物嗎？

Iwould treat myself with Buffalo Wild Wings, or a salad from Chipotle every oncein a while but besides that I just dealt with the boredom of eating the samething. And in my mind it wasn』t a 「long term」 thing, it was doing and eatingwhatever I need to achieve my goal – if it took five years then I would haveeaten the same thing for five years. The only time I added things back in waswhen I started to bulk and I was eating carbs again. And I only started to misscarbs when I knew I was close to my goal, besides that I just missed not beingtired.

當我厭煩的時候，可能會偶爾吃點辣雞翅，墨西哥沙拉，我只是為了達到目標而吃，如果5年才達標，那五年之內我基本上就吃這些了，當我將要達到目標的時候，我就開始想念碳水化合物了。

Why did you get to the position where you needed to losethat weight? 是什麼激勵你想要減肥這麼多？

WhenI was a kid my father owned a deli and I ate whatever and whenever I wanted.When I entered foster care at age 12 I lost a lot of weight, because the fosterparents I had watched my diet and made me go outside. I always was an athletickid, even when I was fat, but I just ate so bad. I left foster care at age 13and moved back in with my dad, then I just gained crazy weight again. Afterhigh school I worked for Pizza Hut and that』s when I hit my biggest number,380lbs. It was a fat man』s dream, free pizza 24/7.

小時候，我爸開一熟食店，我想吃啥就吃啥，12歲被寄養，寄養的父母控制我的飲食，不讓我窩在家裡，我還是一個喜歡動的孩子，雖然我胖，但是我吃的太垃圾了，13歲是離開寄養家庭，又搬回去和我爸一起，又開始瘋狂的長胖，高中畢業後，在一家披薩店工作，我的體重達到了頂峰172kg，整天吃免費的披薩，哇靠，那是簡直胖子的天堂啊。

What made you decide to change? 是什麼讓你決定改變？

Twothings made me want to change. First was when I attended a pearl jam concert atage 22 or 23 and I couldn』t fit into the chair at the stadium. It was one ofthe most embarrassing moments of my life. Second, I wanted to start gettinglaid, and hot chicks don』t like fat guys. It』s hard to hear but I realized itand wanted to change that. I was getting denied by women at every turn,and as much as we want to think it, personality doesn』t go all the way. LOOKSDO MATTER. I was looked at for being so big, I hated standing near childrenbecause I feared they were going to call me fat because as we know, kids haveno filter.

兩件事，第一件，有一回去參加音樂會，靠，那個椅子坐不進去（笑cry），那可能是我一生中最尷尬的時刻，第二件，我想泡妞，但是美女都不喜歡胖紙，我每次都被女生拒絕，有人說性格很重要，但是外貌同樣重要，當時我實在太胖了，我害怕和小孩子站一起，小孩子會直接叫胖蜀黍，熊孩子才不管你的玻璃心呢。

Did you take inspiration from anyone in particular?你從某個特別的人那裡得到過激勵嗎?

Oneof my friends got into lifting and got went from 5』3″, 90lbs of skin and boneto 134lbs of pure muscle, no joke. And I was 『mirin』 hard. After a few years ofsee him change and basically look like a different person I got inspired, Iwanted to make the same change. And with his help, and the help of my trainerKenny Nguyen, I did.

一個朋友，曾經不到九十斤，通過練舉重，最後到130斤，渾身肌肉，講真，他簡直是我的偶像，幾年後我發現他判若兩人，我的小心臟完全被激發了，後來，他幫了我很多，當然還有我的教練Kenny。

Everytime someone compliments me on working out or losing weight I bring Kenny up. Ifor sure couldn』t have done any of this without him pushing me. If he wasn』there to help me, I』d probably be 400+lbs by now. Many people try to give meadvice or suggestions, but if Kenny doesn』t give the approval then I don』t doit. I try to tell him every so often how much he』s helped me but it』s difficultbecause we』re guys and have known each other for so long.

每每有人在健身房誇我，我就給他介紹kenny，沒有kenny，我現在可能400斤了，很多人給我建議，但是如果kenny不允許我就不會去做，我經常和他說，沒有他我真的不行。

I have to give thanks to my older brother Andrew for making me dinners andweighing food for me when I didn』t have time or energy, and thanks to my friendMarc, who came out as a homosexual around the time when I started lifting. Hiscourage really helped me believe I could be a better person.

同時，我也要謝謝我的哥哥andrew，準備晚餐，食物稱重，還有朋友marc，下面那點就不翻譯了。

How was the journey? Straight-forward or were there a few plateaus along the way? 整個減肥歷程中有沒有停滯期？

I was losing weight at a solid rate throughout my diet. During keto it was from2-5lbs a week. After I hit 217lbs the first time, I did a slow bulk of about2lbs a week. Once I hit 240ish I decided to cut again and now I』m losing about2lbs a week on a strict Marco and calorie counting diet.

我的減肥速度非常穩定，生酮時，基本上每周2-5斤，210斤左右的時候，稍微慢點，一周2斤，後來長到235斤，又開始改善飲食，現在基本上穩定在每周2斤左右。

What surprised you about losing weight?減肥給你帶來什麼驚喜？

Howmuch life changes. And for me it took under two years to change my life180 degrees. Sometimes it』ll take longer, or shorter for some people but nomatter what I suggest everyone does it. 生活變化大，對我來說，兩年之後，我的生活完全改變了，有的人花時間長，有的人短，但是不管怎樣？我覺得人人都要嘗試下，簡直美呆了。（現在的他是這樣子的，渾身肌肉，能看出腹部皮膚比較鬆弛，但是沒有想像的那麼恐怖）

How has life changed now you』ve lost the weight?減肥後生活最大的變化是什麼？

Ihave a ton more confidence compared to before. I』m eager to do more, gooutside, play sports, talk to people. I feel more relaxed around woman and Ialso can walk up stairs without feeling like death is on my back.

感覺自信爆棚，想要付出更多，喜歡外出運動，和別人溝通，和女人在一起非常放鬆，自信，一口氣，上六樓，不費勁兒。

You』re mayor of Portlandfor the day, what one law do you bring in to help others who are obese? 如果你是波特蘭的市長，你會給胖紙帶來什麼樣的新法律嗎？

Thisis going to sound harsh, but anyone over a certain body fat percentage isrequired to go the the gym and eat right.

這個問題很尖銳哦，但是我覺得有一個挺好的點子，一個人體脂率達到某一個水平，就要求必須鍛煉，吃健康的。

What three things do other fat men need to know aboutlosing weight? 有關減肥，胖紙應該知道的三件事？

1. Having cheat meals ordays are never worth it. You feel like crap after. 放縱日和放縱餐太不划算了，吃完之後你會感覺屎透了。

2. Buy a food scale. You』realways eating more than you think.買個稱吧，你總是比你想像的吃得多

3. Just get it done, thesooner you start, the sooner you』ll become the person you want to be.不要猶豫，現在就開始吧，越快越早成為你想要的那個人。

名詞解釋：

Cheat day，放縱日，減肥者每隔一段時間讓自己放縱一次，隨便吃，隨便睡。

Hipster 通常指獨立音樂和獨立電影的消費者。他們其中許多人比較休閑的工作在城市的文化娛樂工業邊緣。該詞有時也帶有諷刺的含義，指時尚人士抄襲了多種後朋克和嬉皮文化的穿著裝備和飾物，卻拒絕或否認那些文化所代表的社會/政治主張。
Ketogenicfood therapy，生酮食療法，是一種利用高脂、低糖食物治療神經系統疾病的方法。它會「誘使」人的身體處於一種飢餓狀態，促使人體通過燃燒脂肪來產生能量，而不是燃燒碳水化合物。在這樣的代謝過程中，丙酮類物質會大量產生，「安撫」諸如癲癇類的神經系統疾病。
Metal breath，Acetone Breath， When you are in ketosis. This can result from diabetes. OR if youare on a high protein diet, like the Atkins diet. It is a sign you are burningyour fat. However, the Atkins diet has been shown to be inadvisable and doesnot even really induce ketosis. In fact, any weight loss is more-so the simplefact that protein is more filling than carbs, sugars, and fats. Not healthyeither.
丙酮味口臭，常見於，當你再嘗試生酮食療法，高蛋白飲食法，（阿特斯金）的時候，口腔會發出這個味道，表示你在燃燒脂肪，同時糖尿病患者也會發出這樣的味道。本人沒有聞過，不知道誰有，讓我聞聞，好高大上的樣子，口吐金屬氣，lol。
Getting laid，與某某上床，發生關係
Plateaus，停滯期，高原，瓶頸
