It’s almost been two years since I really started caring about being healthy. By being healthy I mean losing some weight and trying to continue eating right after that weight was gone. Two years ago this coming May I weighed 165 lbs. I’m about 5’4″ or 5’5″ so I was definitely overweight. It was at that time I decided to start eating better and trying to workout.
After using the elliptical machine on a regular basis and substituting a few foods for healthier options I lost about 10 lbs. Then a friend recommended The Belly Off Diet by Men’s Health. The cool thing about The Belly Off Diet is that it provides a progressive workout plan and meal plan for six weeks. Needless to say I didn’t finish the entire diet plan but still lost a good amount of weight. Even after all this time I still eat on the same schedule as I did on the diet plan, which has helped tremendously.
I’m now down 130 lbs. and my eating has completely changed. During this time I’ve learned some pretty basic health tips that I think everyone can benefit from, regardless of specific health goals.
