It wasn't but a few years ago I lost control of my weight.
I've always been a slightly "chunky" guy but I never really saw it as an issue.
Well as it turned out it was an issue...
a pretty serious one.
I went to my doctor for a check up and when he weighed me I was absolutely floored.
The scale tipped at a little over 300 pounds! I knew I was a bit big but that took me by complete surprise.
I knew something needed to be done or I wasn't going to live a long life.
My doctor told me I needed to do something as well because my cholesterol was through the roof, my body fat percentage was way too high and all of this was putting a strain on my heart.
This is at my doctor's appointment, very rude awakening.
The Quickest Way To Lose Weight May Not Be The Safest Now I had heard about crash diets and programs that would help me drop weight fast.
I also came across some weight loss medicines that were said to drop pounds fast.
Well the only problem with these methods is that they almost always come with a price.
Although they may help your body shed some fat pretty fast they aren't helping you do it in a healthy way.
You can lose the weight by starving your self and taking these weight loss pills but you are really just hurting yourself, and I found that out the hard way.
I tried a crash diet with some diet pills and I lost weight fast, but I ended up pretty sick and incredibly tired.
This was because my body was not getting any of the nutrition it needs to survive.
Don't starve yourself as a quick way to lose weight.
It will hurt you and it's really just not worth the risk.
You want to lose weight, and you want the quickest way to lose weight, just be completely sure you are losing weight the healthy way to it doesn't backfire on you and make you regret your decisions like it did for me.
This is me at another doctor's appointment after the rude awakening The Quickest Way To Lose Weight - Losing Weight Fast and Staying Healthy One of the first things I learned about losing weight fast, or really in general, and staying healthy doing it was my nutrition.
My diet had a whole heck of a lot to do with my weight and my overall health condition.
People these days tend to really overlook their dietary habits and that's not a good thing.
We have all pretty much trained ourselves to eat terribly because it's easier for us.
How many times have you gotten some fast food instead of a salad? How many times have you opted not to have a salad with dinner? Probably a lot of times now that you're thinking back.
Well don't worry because when I began to think about it, I was in the same boat and started getting very ashamed of myself.
I had to do something about it, I had to re-train myself and break the bad habits of always reaching for the foods that were bad for me.
Now this didn't mean that I had to cut it out all together but drastically cut my intake of it.
It also didn't mean that I needed to eat nothing but greens, or what I like to call rabbit food, all the time either.
That was one of my biggest turn offs to diet programs and such.
I always assumed that I'd have to be eating rabbit food and sacrifice all the taste I love.
I used to look at salads and say "This isn't food! This is what food eats!" The Quickest Way To Lose Weight - What It Did For Me I re-taught myself how to eat and I started straying away from the fast food joints on the way home from work and I really started taking my time in the grocery store to buy foods that were good for me..
..
well maybe not the best but definitely not the worst.
I went back to my doctor after about a week and a half for a follow up check up and of course he weighed me.
Now I was totally dreading this because I had just started paying attention to my diet so I closed my eyes and prayed a little.
I looked up and there is was...
290 pounds! I had lost 25 pounds in barely over a week! I was stunned absolutely positively stunned.
I knew I could lose weight and I knew I wasn't going to stop trying to lose weight until I was at a much more manageable weight, and a healthier weight.
But I never once thought that I could lose weight so fast like that.
Seriously I waited until the doctor walked out of the room and I did a little dance I was so darn happy.
I knew this was just the beginning of losing weight for me and I had already seen incredible improvements.
