Before I get going too far, I want everyone to understand that I have not finished any kind of degree and I do not currently hold any formal credentials. I am not a certified health care professional. I am simply a guy who reads everything he can get his hands on and then tests it to find out if it works or not. I am working toward a degree in Dietetics and will achieve this goal at some point, but for now I am just a really healthy guy. That said, test at your own risk. I will not be held liable for anything you try that I have suggested. Only you can know your limits.
Now, lets get started.
Since the purpose of my blog is to help you learn and test, I won't spend a lot of time going into the what's and how's of how I got to where I am.
My basic history goes like this - I started weight training in highschool because I was fat. I gained a ton of muscle and got really strong but was still fat. I then joined the Army where I did very little weight training and a lot more cardio. Here I shed a ton of fat during basic training but quickly gained it back afterwards due to eating the same old crap. About 2 years later I started trying some different programs and using their suggested diet and exercise ideas. I started running a lot more which showed results and then I paired it with a week long fruit fast followed by a diet filled with "healthy foods". Little did I know, most of these foods actually weren't all that healthy. Within the last year I have really stepped it up a notch, reading and learning and testing as much as I can and what has resulted is a diet rich in good foods with an exercise plan that almost perfectly accents it! Check out my pictures... You can see abs!
So, now you are wondering... Can I teach you how to achieve that? The answer is yes, BUT it will require two things from you.
1. You MUST be open-minded.
If you don't come into this with an open mind, you won't be willing to try the ideas here that have PROVEN results. Therefore, I simply ask that you TEST everything before deciding whether or not it works. You cannot prove something doesn't work for you until you have tested it.
2. You MUST be willing to continue testing for a reasonable amount of time instead of giving up after the first day. If you aren't willing to keep going for a while until you see some kind of results, you won't get results. This is why the majority of people you see (take a look around you right now...) are fat. Whether your goal is to lose weight, or to lose weight while living healthy, you won't reach it unless you are willing to stick with your program long enough to see results.
I won't lie... this won't be easy. Most things in life worth having usually aren't. But if you will simply listen and test what I say, you WILL see results and you WILL feel a lot better than you currently do. And trust me on this one, you have no idea how bad you feel until you actually understand what it is to feel good.
Here is a link to my photos showing my progress.
