Man loses 100kg after overcoming sugar addiction
Bayar Baayarsaikhan was only 29 when his doctor gave him some sobering news.
"I learned that in a normal, healthy person, sleep apneas can occur maybe about 1-3 occurrences in one hour, but I was having 135 occurrences in one hour. So pretty much it would look like I was sleeping, but my body was never asleep. And that's why I was exhausted all day.
"Over time I learned how to control my portions, which slowly killed my cravings," he said. "I still eat everything, but I learned to control it. It took me a year and half to learn how to control it. I still crave [soda], but I'll only have it if I really, really want it. And when I do have it, I'll take two sips and throw it away. Same with chips. I would eat a handful and not the whole bag.
He eased into fitness with walking and running, monitoring his heart rate because "my heart is weak." And once Baayarsaikhan increased his stamina, he started weight-lifting.A year and a half after he started his wellness journey, Baayarsaikhan completed the Chicago Triathlon — a combination of swimming, biking, and running, which he says he finished in just over an hour.
