A Snapshot Of Me

Like everyone else, I wanted to lose weight fast. However, when I started reading articles on how to lose weight, I realized that it wasn’t healthy or sustainable to lose it too quickly. Most people who lose weight at a rate faster than one or two pounds a week actually gain it back.

When I spoke with friends who had lost weight quickly, they had mostly achieved it by getting on a very low calorie diet. Many of them only eat 500 or 600 calories a day which is essentially the equivalent of one to two frozen diet meals a day. I wanted to lose weight fast, but I was more concerned about keeping the weight off permanently.  Typically this is combined with hCG drops that increase fat burn.  Those wanting to buy garcinia cambogia online should read through hCG diet reviews before doing so and consulting a doctor.

Thus, I decided to exercise and eat healthy foods. I allowed myself to eat as much fruits and vegetables as possible with the exception of avocados. I also ate as much pasta and drank as many no calorie drinks as I wanted to. To insure that I was getting enough calcium, I let myself eat a little dairy, but I only ate one gram of cheese per day or one cup of skim milk. I also ate one serving of fiber per day. I usually took my fiber in the form of a small bowl of cereal or a slice of whole grain toast. I also allowed myself to cheat a tiny bit each day. Normally, I would cheat with a small glass of wine but only one.

The first week on this diet, I lost 5 pounds, and every week after that I lost about two pounds. By the end of three months, I had lost twenty seven pounds. I did not lose it as quickly as some of my friends, but six months later, the weight is still off. I may not be an expert on how to lose weight, but this is the method that worked for me.
