Eight years ago, Arash Hashemi found himself in a situation where he could not find himself. He was doing well at work and was looking for money and success in the company’s path. I am really happy? Hashemi, who flourished in the office but flourished in his personal life, was rooted in his weight. His pride plunged when he wrote a pound. As he said, it would be a death penalty to continue the way.
When the 38 -year -old hashemi finally decided to lose weight, he actually created an Instagram account. Crushing occurs. Now we have more than 4 million followers. A few years ago, Hashemi established Kaizen Food, a high protein, a low -carb and a manufacturer of rice, which penetrated local groceries. Today he dropped a new cooking book. Crushing occurs. Too easy and so good. The practical and nutritious recipe was made of a vivid taste of Hashemi and was able to spill dozens of pounds.
Of course, weight loss was not very simple. Hashemi had to gain strength through the initial AUGHTS FAD DIET TSUNAMI and that the results did not come right away. Eight years later, he learned that the way of weight loss was pleasant, and I found out that there was no problem with Margarita with other insights that no one wanted to sweat the most in the room.
GQ: Would you like to guide you the story of not only focusing on weight loss and documenting your trip?
Hasumi: I think my story starts a little before. I am from an immigrant family. I am the only family born in the United States. My parents came from the Middle East to go to school and get a Ph.D. I was born here, but we returned to Iran, then returned to Canada and then returned to the United States. My parents were always confused, just meeting the end, working in multiple jobs, and working late.
For me, the food became the source of stability. On TV, I saw advertisements for all these fast foods (Arerie Queen, Big Mac, Whoppers). When I had nothing to do, it became that kind of escape mechanism. When I grow up, the emotional attachment to food is very dependent. Ultimately, this has brought about me quite a big growth for me. For my ball, I remember that I have to get a special suit. I couldn’t go anywhere in JCPENNEY or macy ‘s or anywhere. It was 58 male suits. I don’t know any size pants. Perhaps it was the same as 46 or 48. I slowly weighted at the university. In short, I’m about 350 pounds at the highest level.
I was taking a lot of responsibility in the company’s world. I was on a quick road in GE and was really doing well. I was a great leader in business, but I was not my own great leader. In 2017, I saw my wife who worked at GE at the time. “Until now, you have to change. If you do not, this will be life.” I was really unhappy. I was miserable, before diabetes, I ate high triglycerides and high cholesterol, and I was always tired. “What do you know? I will quit and focus on eating correctly.” I didn’t know how to swim, but I had this amazing goal in Iron Man. 26 miles, of course, could run for almost a minute. I actually had no athletic ability. That really started my process.
So, if you are the largest, are you about 350 pounds?
Lastly, it was £ 326. I have definitely used a little weight, but in 326, I did not stop the size. I didn’t go well. I was so unhappy and frustrated. I remember that when I talk with people, I can’t really face my eyes. I was always sweating. I just felt bad. This is despite the lifetime of growing diet. I will always do a big job to reduce my weight very quickly. I probably adhered to it for three or four days, and I didn’t see that big movement, so I immediately threw it into a towel. At some point I lost a lot of weight, but when I entered the company world, I began to get 20 pounds every year.
Was this in the age of atkins and South Beach diet?
Oh, you said it, I tried it. Eat eggs and just eat apples. Cabbage Soup Diet, Jenny Craig, The Zone, South Beach, Weight Watchers. In high school, I went to a meeting of weight watchers with a weekly weighing and all of them. I remember at 4 pm on Wednesday. I on that Tuesday night, “How can I show loss this week?” I first lost a few pounds and never worked. Listen, all diets may be good. I think the point is consistent, whether you have a predatory animal, keto, plant -based, atkins, the diet you just mentioned. For me, I think I was forced to do something that was not excited. Eventually it led to failure. I don’t think either of that diet has something bad about them. I was not excited. I didn’t actually go into it, so I did not stick to it.
I have to say that I have never heard of the only diet. I think it’s eating.
(laugh) I think the words are a bit more diverse.
