Dr. Sidy Diallo Burned Nearly 60 kg of Body Fat in Two COVID Years

59 kg of Body Fat in Two Years

January 5, 2022
By
Dr. Sidy Diallo

I did in the last two years 6,885 km (4,278 miles) with a total ascent of 40,600 meters (133,206 ft), and burned 452,577 kcal, i.e. the equivalent of 58.8 kg (129.3 lb.) of body fat. And by doing so, I keep my body mass index (BMI) naturally stable, slightly below 18 kg/m2 after I stopped running with sneakers, thanks to my body adaptation to barefoot running. It used to be around 18.5 kg/m2. With such a BMI, I have to fuel my physical activity with new calorie intake. In 1958, Max Wishnofsky calculated that 1 lb. (0.45 kg) of fat stores approximately 3,500 kcal of energy, which means that one pound of body fat would, for instance, provide me enough energy to run 20.6 miles or 33.1 km.
 
My purpose is to be as active and sober as humans should be to stay fit and healthy, with a strong immune system, and to show that everyone can do it, because it’s more crucial than ever to prevent and eradicate obesity. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed, for instance, in their March 12, 2021, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report that “obesity is a risk factor for severe COVID-19, possibly related to chronic inflammation that disrupts immune and thrombogenic responses to pathogens as well as to impaired lung function from excess weight. Obesity is a common metabolic disease, affecting 42.4% of U.S. adults. Among 148,494 adults who received a COVID-19 diagnosis at 238 U.S. hospitals during March-December 2020, 28.3% had overweight and 50.8% had obesity. Obesity was a risk factor for hospitalization and death, particularly among adults aged <65 years.” In other words, over 79% of COVID-19 patients are either overweight or obese. Sadly, since the outbreak of the pandemic, instead of learning the lesson and taking the right and effective actions to reduce their body fat, too many people, including runners, did quite the opposite, while blaming a so-called quarantine 15, i.e. the pandemic for the additional weight.
 
“Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea”
In July 1975, in a display of voluntary servitude and parody of British and French colonial manners in Africa, four British businessmen carried in a sedan chair, with another white man holding a sunshade, the already fairly heavy Ugandan president Idi Amin to a party for diplomats, in Kampala. Africans “laughed out loud,” not so the former colonial rulers. In August 2003, Idi Amin, also known as “His Excellency President for Life, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular,” was allegedly weighing about 220 kg (485 lb.) when he fell into coma and died in the intensive care unit of a Jeddah Hospital, official cause of death: kidney failure.

Interestingly, “Jupiter” is the proud nickname of the French president, and it refers to the Roman god of the sky and the earth, the King of the gods and of all living species. In other words, Jupiter is also the “Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea.” In 2017, The Los Angeles Times confirmed that “Macron wanted to be a Jupiterian leader, unchallenged, like the Roman god of the skies.” Three years later, the German newspaper Die Zeit explained that France had become an “Authoritarian Absurdistan.”
 
Like other animals, our ancestors needed to develop temporary body fat as a life-saving source of energy for when they had no food. Paradoxically, billions of current humans are developing permanent overweight or obesity when there’s no more need to stock fat in our bodies. And instead of resorting to physical activity to burn that fat naturally and effectively, most of them look for passive solutions, including diets, pills, surgical removal of a large portion of their stomach, gastric bypass, burning the “balls” in saunas, etc., mostly to no avail. For the record, wild animals—including other big apes—are neither developing obesity nor warming the planet. So why are humans doing that, despite our allegedly “superior intelligence”? How did humans develop unlimited chutzpah and stupid megalomania? What went wrong with current humans? How did we end up transforming the earth into a planet of the masked apes, virtually and physically? Are humans retrograde primates?
 
As I thoroughly explain in the book Running Barefoot for Human Survival, all that resulted from thousands years of abusive and insane exploitation of our small genetic advantage—barely 1.2% of our DNA—that differentiates humans from chimps.
