Last Christmas I come back home feeling better than I had in a long time. Not only because I had a chance to see family, which in itself is rejuvenating, but because I had just spent a week or more eating better food and exercising more, by default but more all the same.
I came back home and start to decline again. thinking I ate pretty healthy as it was I couldn't pin point the exact cause... so I started taking a mental inventory of what I ate, how often and the like.
Hopelessly addicted to Monster energy drinks I realized... I probably don't require 5-6 cans a day. sugar is a horrible way to stay awake... lucky for me they have Monster zero...
So at any rate, when I stepped on the scale I set out to change my life in order to better my physical condition, what I found and continue to find is amazing, but first things first... Change your diet. get excited about it. its only punishing to yourself if you believe it to be. Like I have posted previously I chose the South Beach Diet to make this radical change to healthy... since then I have been finding more diets that are not too different so the name itself is not really of big concern. Choosing to be healthier is the key to success.
The diet as it were stressed cutting out all unnatural sugars and most natural sugars as well. but Didn't once say go to bed hungry. as the diet progressed some natural sugars are added back in but moderately. I haven't missed them, in fact have began to see High Fructose Corn syrup for the poison it is... I feel better, like unbelievably better, My mind is clearer, my motivation and energy levels are through the roof (Think, the energy levels of a major sports team that just one the biggest game of the season). Ideas on how to better my life flood in, whether I want them or not. and the resources of like minded people out there are endless.
but it all begins with you. change your diet, start making positive changes and go.
