Summary - Doctor called and said "Your diet has cured you". If I can do it so can you.
What a difference a year can make! The last year has been a whirlwind of life changing events. As some of you know I have been working on losing weight over the last year. To this date I have lost 125 pounds. I've been eating things that go completely against what the standard American government approved diet recommends. I've been eating a very low carb, moderate protein, and high fat diet. So, if I have breakfast (never been much for a breakfast) I skip the toast and jelly, the cereal and milk and instead have the bacon and eggs. For lunch I'll have a steak or chicken salad with some ranch dressing (none of that low fat stuff). For dinner, maybe a steak or some fried chicken with bacon wrapped asparagus. Yeah, much better than any of that other diet food you've ever tried. I've cut out the sugars, grains, breads and highly processed foods. I didn't buy any specific "weight loss" foods from any groups. No special diet pills. I didn't spend any time working out to lose the weight. But I do go to the gym now and work out just because I can now. And, I have started training for my first half marathon to be followed by marathon.
For those of you saying yeah, but you're going to kill yourself from the high cholesterol, all I can say is my last cholesterol test says otherwise. As a matter a fact, my doctor called and specifically said your diet has cured your high blood pressure and high cholesterol, not to mention the obesity. My blood pressure is down to around 108/70. Last year it was around 150/90. Below are my cholesterol test results.

I say all of this not to trumpet my results but, to say that if I can do it so can you. All you have to do is start right now. If you need help getting started, I would be more than happy to answer any questions. Maybe, you need to make some positive changes in your life that do not revolve around weight loss, I would be more than happy to talk with you about that as well. Fight for what you want now or fight against what you don't want later, it is your choice.
