A new celebrity on social networks among Russian users is 20-year-old Arkhangelsk resident Sergei Kutov. His story of self-belief surprised thousands of people. Several years ago, a guy lost his leg as a result of an accident. But he did not give up on himself and radically changed himself.
The young man’s weight loss story began in 2013, when he was still a schoolboy. Then he weighed 148 kilograms with a height of 186 centimeters. In 5 months he managed to lose 44 kg. As Sergei Kutov himself reports in an interview with the AdMe portal, at the age of 17 he fell under the wheels of a car on the sidewalk, as a result of which he became disabled - he lost his leg. As it turned out, the brakes of the WAF truck failed and it hit the guy at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Sergei was on the verge of death - he was in a coma for 10 days. Then for 9 months I lay in traction in bed - my pelvis was crushed, it was impossible even to sit.
After the hospital, the guy gained weight again - he again began to weigh 120 kg. The guy himself recalls that “he looked like an old man: a bald invalid, in a wheelchair, wearing glasses, with 37 scars on his body.”
The guy decided to go in for sports. The transformation took a year and a half. The young man calls training and diet the basis for success.
“The biggest secret to losing weight is to speed up your metabolism. Accelerated metabolism increases the rate of fat burning, food absorption and muscle building,” explains Sergey Kutov.
Currently, the guy is studying at the university, goes to the gym and swimming pool, he has friends and a girlfriend.

The story of a simple guy from Arkhangelsk spread throughout the country. 19-year-old Sergei Kutovoy has become an example for millions of healthy people who complain about their lives every day, but do nothing to change it.

Just two years ago, the young man himself belonged to the category of such lazy people. In addition, Sergei was overweight. “I ate everything and looked like a powerless fat piece. Until I was 19, I didn’t have girlfriends, I didn’t even kiss,” Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes Kutovoy.
Sergei tried to lose weight, and he even began to succeed - with a weight of 140 kilograms, he lost 50 kg. But then a tragedy happened in the guy’s life: the young man was hit by a truck while he was crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing, returning from school. As a result of the accident, Sergei lost his leg. While in the hospital, the young man recovered again and began to weigh 110 kilograms.

“I just ate and ate, then, in the hospital, there was no time for appearance. The main thing is to survive, and, naturally, the amount of food was not controlled given the fact that I was constantly lying down - all 9 months. There is no energy expenditure, and the end result is a fat freak who, in theory, should have drunk himself or smoked,” Sergei says about himself on his social network page.
But the young man did not give up, began to play sports and look for a way out of the situation: “I don’t recommend any diets to anyone, only proper and balanced nutrition! Next is an important point. I’ve never felt limited or inferior, I’m always confident in myself - that’s probably why there was never any talk of putting “this” on myself - coming to terms with it. After all, first of all, I am a person inside, and not outside - you can be with all the limbs, but a moral monster.”

Sergei was able to achieve excellent results: from a timid, overweight disabled teenager, the guy turned into a confident, handsome man with an ideal figure. In Sergei’s personal life, everything is now in order: the young man has found his love - his girlfriend Polina is now his main support and support.

“Absolutely everyone looks at us and does not take their eyes off of surprise. I got used to it a long time ago, and so did she. Do you know how we overcome steps? I step on my foot like a wounded fighter, and she is to my left, and I lean on her fragile shoulders, climbing each step, a little at a time. And she endures and loves so faithfully. And then she drags this 20 kilogram stroller, and I wait there, upstairs. And I have to watch how my brave little girl copes with it. God, she absolutely doesn’t care, with or without a leg, with or without an arm - the main thing is that she’s alive and only her,” Sergei said about his beloved.
The young man actively maintains his Instagram, where he offers help to everyone who needs his advice. Now Kutovoy has a cherished dream - to become a fitness model, act for magazines and get to the Olympics in Pyongyang. We are sure he will succeed! We wish Sergei good luck!
And they promised to share inspiring stories from girls and boys about how they lost weight. The story of the new hero of our project - 20-year-old Sergei Kutovoy - clearly goes beyond the format, since it is filled with much more meaning than just the struggle for a beautiful body: it is an incredible story of overcoming, courage, bravery and self-confidence.
“At the age of 17, I was a fat, shapeless bag and weighed 148 kilograms,” Sergei, who prefers to call a spade a spade, begins his story. Sergei went on a diet and began to lose weight. However, a few months later, when his goal was already very close, trouble befell him. Sergei fell under the wheels of a car, as a result of which he became disabled - he lost his leg. A completely different story began: a struggle for one’s own life. Photos showing what Sergei looks like now are the best illustration that the impossible is possible. HELLO.RU asked Sergei to tell his story from the very beginning.
Sergey, 20 years old
Lost weight by 52 kg (from 120 to 68 kg)
My weight loss story began in 2013, when I was in 11th grade. I weighed 148 kilograms with a height of 186 centimeters. To call a spade a spade, I looked like a fat and shapeless bag that no one could like. For a long time this did not bother me: I was not humiliated at school, I had quite a lot of friends. Unhappy love changed everything - my heart was broken. I always knew how to carry on a conversation, I was gallant with girls, but this turned out to be not enough. If your appearance leaves much to be desired, you will always be just a friend for girls, and they will build relationships with other guys who are good-looking. Female hormones require testosterone, and fat men tend to have the lowest levels.
I decided that I would lose weight once and for all. I went on a protein diet, lasted 5 months without a single breakdown - I was able to lose 44 kilograms. I was very pleased with myself and set myself a new goal - another minus 20 kilograms, and after that - the gym and the struggle for a sculpted body. But everything turned out completely differently...
On April 13, 2013, I was walking from the hospital where I was undergoing a routine annual examination. Almost reached the house, all that remained was to cross the pedestrian crossing. There was a one-way road in front of me, I stopped and carefully looked around. The car gave way to me, as the rules prescribed, and I began to cross. When I was on the sidewalk and seemingly out of the risk zone, I felt a hard blow. Disconnected. As it turned out later, the brakes of the WAF model truck failed, and at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour it hit me, slamming me into a pole. After that there was 10 days of coma.
After coming out of a coma, I lay in traction in bed for 9 months - my pelvis was crushed, I couldn’t even sit. I missed everything: last call, graduation, entrance exams to college. Over this year I have become stronger and older. I had to cry and get angry, analyze and discover a new me.
In the hospital I was completely deprived of physical activity: I played on the computer, slept and ate. When I arrived home, I weighed 120 kilograms. I saw myself in the mirror, in which I had last looked as a healthy and hopeful young man, and I was horrified. I looked like an old man: bald, disabled, in a wheelchair, wearing glasses, with 37 scars on my body. At that moment I realized: in order to be happy again, I need to learn to fight myself and my laziness.
I started looking for ways to get an athletic body and realized that only proper and balanced nutrition can lead to success. Diets are stress and collapse for our body, metabolism, hair, skin, endocrine and hormonal systems. My transformation took a year and a half. The first seven months were an internal psychological struggle with myself: I broke down several times, throwing the system of proper nutrition to hell, and started again; I spent the next 8 months working on my athletic form. On social networks I am often asked if I pumped out fat or injected some drugs. No, there are no magic “things” that will solve your excess weight problems for you.
Sergei Kutovoy is confident that anyone can lose weight and get their body in order.
I am sure that everyone can change for the better. Even I, a guy without a leg and in a wheelchair, was able to lose 52 kilograms and gain an athletic physique. Why don't you try it too?
If we get down to practice, the most important secret to losing weight is to speed up your metabolism. An accelerated metabolism speeds up the rate of fat burning, food absorption and muscle building.
I’ll tell you about the basic rules for accelerating metabolism:
1. Eat every 2 hours.
2. Do not drink while eating: either 20 minutes before or 40 minutes after.
3. Eliminate fast carbohydrates: smoked, flour, sweet, salty, fried, fast food and semi-finished products.
4. Go to bed early: between 10 pm and 2 am, growth hormone is released best.
Now I lead the lifestyle of an ordinary young man: I study at the university, go to the gym and swimming pool, I have friends and a girlfriend. Recently I was invited to play sledge hockey at a professional level, with the prospect of a chance to join the Russian national team in this sport. The main thing is to believe in the best and set the right goals!
“The world is not without good people,” Sergei captioned the photo. "That day I arrived at the gym, but the elevator was not working. I turned around to go home. This man lifted me to the second floor in his own arms. Thank you!"
Arkhangelsk resident Sergei Kutovoy celebrated his 23rd birthday on the Field of Mars in St. Petersburg in the company of not only close friends and his girlfriend, but also his subscribers. Today Sergei has more than 400 thousand of them. The guy gained such popularity online thanks to his story of overcoming himself, told with incredible honesty. A couple of hundred subscribers came to chat live with the idol, congratulate him on his birthday and be sure to give him a big hug.

After the accident, it seemed to me that I had no options, no possibilities, that I was doomed to a lonely life, a disabled person, in which there would no longer be anything bright. But I believed in myself, started playing sports, and lost weight. And my life is honestly better than before. And any of you can make your life better. Each of you has the right to happiness and love, to have a family, a favorite business. Even if I could, you definitely can,” says Arkhangelsk resident Sergei Kutovoy to the crowd of fans.
At the age of 17, as a result of an accident, Sergei Kutovoi lost his leg. The WAF truck's brakes failed and it hit a guy at 100 kilometers per hour. The crushed left leg had to be amputated. He spent almost a year in the hospital, after discharge he began to stress out everything in a row, moved little, so he quickly gained excess weight: 120 kilograms with a height of 186 centimeters. “He looked like an old man: a bald invalid, in a wheelchair, wearing glasses, with 37 scars on his body,” recalls Sergei Kutovoy.
Sergei was able to accept himself without a leg, but he couldn’t look at the sagging folds of fat, so he decided to take himself seriously: first the horizontal bar at home, then full-fledged training in the gym, a diet, and later even sledge hockey. Two years later, even old Arnold would be jealous of Sergei’s pumped up biceps. Moreover, on Instagram Kutova posts honest photos of both “before” and “after”.
I first saw Seryozha in Nastya Ivleeva’s vlog, and I was immediately hooked by his story: the guy has not lost hope, he is developing, growing. I’ve been following him on Instagram for a year now: his posts are very sincere and sincere. “He inspires me very much with his faith in people,” admits fan Nastya, who came to congratulate Sergei on his birthday.
Emotions at this meeting ran high, some could not hold back their tears. Cried for joy
Loving life and Ksyusha
“There are so many fans around Seryozha, aren’t you jealous?” - Sergei Kutovoy’s girlfriend Ksyusha answers this question with a confident “No.” This is not surprising: Sergei looks at his beloved girl with such tenderness and love that it becomes clear to his enchanted subscribers that there is no chance.
“Why do you love Sergei?” “He’s very caring,” Ksyusha answers and wipes away her tears: the warm meeting with so many fans made an impression on the girl. They hug Sergei and Ksyusha, ask for photos and autographs and vying with each other to ask questions.
The guys, answering the next question, remember the story of their acquaintance in different ways. Ksyusha laughs and says that Sergei ignored her for several months and only then invited her to the cinema: “I thought that the two of us would go together. I came, and there were six people there - family, friends.”
I sparkled even in the dark ⠀ and you sat in the dark with me. ⠀ by candlelight. ⠀ and it seemed to me that I was born ⠀ only so that your head would lie ⠀ on my shoulders. Publication from Sega Kutove 🦁 23 years on earth (@sega_kutove) July 4, 2018 at 9:29 PDT Sergei explains such a company with serious intentions, they say, he immediately wanted to introduce the girl to everyone. “When I walked Ksyusha home after the movie, I took her hand and realized that I was attracted to her, that I wanted her to always be in my life,” recalls Sergei.
When I was invited to St. Petersburg to participate in the “Sport to the People” project, Ksyusha supported my decision. This was very important to me. It seems to me that a healthy relationship is when people support each other,” says Sergei Kutovoy. - Our long-distance relationship lasted for a year. It was very difficult: I raked the last money out of my pockets to buy Ksyusha a ticket from Arkhangelsk to St. Petersburg. But, you know what I realized? When everything is bad in life, don’t despair. You pay with these bad things for all the good things that will happen in life.
After graduation, Ksyusha was able to move to Sergei in St. Petersburg permanently. After three years of relationship, the guys’ plans are only more serious: to get married and buy their own home, and definitely not with a mortgage, and save up for an apartment on their own. “I didn’t have a complete family, my childhood was not easy. Therefore, now I really want a real happy family with Ksyusha. It seems to me that it’s right to give new people to society,” shares Sergei Kutovoy.
Write a book and stand on both feet
Among Sergei Kutovoy's creative plans is a book. “I have a story to tell,” he says confidently.
In the meantime, the Arkhangelsk resident writes posts on Instagram.
As a friend, he knows how to motivate. He always asks why you are doing this, what you want to achieve with it. In this regard, we were thinking about master classes in the format of Nick Vujicic (an Australian motivational speaker with a hereditary disease that leads to the absence of all limbs - editor's note), - said a friend of Sergei Manua.
I am very glad that I have the opportunity to see Vanechka. And how can twins live without each other? - very bad. Moreover, from the cradle, my father said that we are the closest people to each other, and someday mom and dad will no longer be there, but we will have each other! And since then we love each other very much. And Vanya also calls and asks not to bring sweets, because he can’t lose weight because of our packages 😅❤️ Hugs to everyone, and thank you for your attention 😌 Publication from Sega Kutova 🦁 23 years on earth (@sega_kutove) April 3, 2018 at 8:55 PDT A week later, a film is being released in which Sergei plays the main role. Partner in the movie “Sergei Kutovoy. “I am taller than everyone,” became his twin brother Ivan. This is the brothers’ first filming experience, not counting Artem Gryanik’s video for Pavel Volya’s song “Two.” Film director Andrei Grigoriev saw him on the Internet and invited the guys to star in a full-length film.
We were unable to raise the full amount for the filming through crowdfunding, as we had originally planned, and we were forced to give back all the money and invest our own funds in the creation of the film. The film will be released in a week, before that it will be shown at the VKontakte festival,” said Sergei.
Sergei Kutovoy plans to get back on his feet not only figuratively, but also literally. A prosthesis will be made for him in St. Petersburg. The state allocates four and a half million rubles for it. “There are literally a couple of certificates left, and I will try. It’s not a fact that everything will work out, because my leg is cut very close, but perhaps soon I will be walking,” Sergei does not betray his excitement.
Do you know what I value Seryoga most for? Because he is disabled, but you do not treat him as disabled. “It’s cool,” says his friend Anton. - Yesterday we took the oath at Menua. And it so happened that Seryoga was sitting on the windowsill, the stroller was removed, and everyone forgot that they actually needed to help him... Do you understand what I’m talking about? We didn’t think anything was wrong.”
Our communication is very simple, you don’t think about the fact that he’s in a wheelchair. He’s still teasing us like that!” - Mainua picks up.
For a long time, Sergei’s fans did not want to let him leave the Champ de Mars. The girls ran to take pictures and could not hold back their tears. But those were tears of joy. The guy never tired of saying “thank you” and, of course, soon a new post appeared on Sergei Kutovoy’s Instagram: “The huge charge of positivity and kindness that you gave me today will remain forever in my heart. Thank you!"
