One year after his stroke live on Twitch, Andre “CommanderKrieger” Krieger gives an update on his health and how he has lost weight.
This was the situation before: About a year ago, viewers of the Twitch streamer CommanderKrieger were shocked, when CommanderKrieger had a stroke live on stream. He couldn’t speak properly, his pronunciation was slurred. Some viewers quickly recognized the signs of a stroke and informed the Twitch streamer in the chat.
Shortly after, CommanderKrieger went offline, described the incident to his girlfriend that evening, and went to the doctor the next day.
This incident significantly contributed to a change in his life. CommanderKrieger realized that he had been living very unhealthily in recent years. He hardly drank water, mostly soft drinks. His 170 kilos of body weight were a problem, he said.
Now the Twitch streamer gives an update on his health and has good news.
“Harder than 18 years of smoking”
How is CommanderKrieger now? First, CommanderKrieger talks about his diagnosis at the doctor’s: very high blood pressure and a mild stroke.
Meanwhile, CommanderKrieger’s weight is around 120 kilos. In the last year, he has lost 50 kilos and now fits into smaller clothing sizes.
The Twitch streamer reports that he can move better and thus has an easier daily life. He also enjoys life more. In his current diet, he occasionally still eats currywurst or döner, but only in moderation.
The Twitch streamer has also discovered a new passion for himself: golf. There he gets a lot of exercise as well.
What has CommanderKrieger changed? In the last year, CommanderKrieger has done everything to lose weight. He has avoided sugar and only drunk water instead of sweet soft drinks. That was also the hardest part, CommanderKrieger says: “That was the toughest addiction I had to fight – the sugar withdrawal. Harder than 18 years of smoking.” (Source: YouTube from minute 03:30).
Additionally, the Twitch streamer increased his activity: he started taking walks instead of driving or using the elevator. This also had positive effects on his mental state.
CommanderKrieger also benefited from a “weight loss injection” called Monjaro. The costs are 500 euros per month, which he pays for himself. He also paid for an app that helped him count his calories.
