My Simple Diet Strategy
The year 2009 has been one filled with highs and lows and I'm happy to say that it's now at a high point. I'll share some details about my experience with you.
Unfortunately, the company I work for went out of business last year. I was left in a situation where I couldn't find a job, so I spent most of my time online, pursuing some hobbies and looking for jobs. Unfortunately, I gained a lot of weight during this time.
Not knowing what to do, I realized that it had subtly happened as I snuck in some extra snacks and soft drinks each day. I decided to go cold turkey on a few things, combined with a disciplined fitness regime, and I've already lost half of that weight in about 60 days' time.
Fortunately, I've turned things completely around. I've lost so much weight and I have some great results to show for it. Most importantly, I feel better than I have in years.
First and foremost, I decided that drinking soda simply wasn't a good idea. Even a diet soda isn't good for you, as the artificial chemicals and sweeteners are said to have a negative effect on the body.
I didn't stop at sodas though. I decided to eliminate any foods from my diet that had cane sugar or artificial sweeteners. I would get my sweet fix from fruits, and I really came to enjoy them.
Exercise is the other part of the plan, and I've been getting a lot of it. Running at the gym nearly every day of the week, I'm more physically fit than I've ever been. I also love the rush I experience after a nice, long run.
The last thing I decided to do was replace all fried and sauteed foods with grilled and baked ones. This was difficult, but like any habit, I became used to it after a few weeks. I have a great body to show for it now, and I never plan to go back to the dark side.
While I still haven't found a job, I've been writing about copper mailbox deals and brass mailboxes.
