Diet

I finally realized my mission in life…..Inspire and Change Lives!

Only a person who has been there and has faced the same challenges and struggles can truly understand the difficulty, physically and emotionally, of trying to lose weight. I have been there, FACED the challenges and OVERCAME the struggles, and I truly understand how difficult it is. It's never too late to get yourself in the best shape of your life!!

If I had the option to choose my dream job, it would have to be Chris Powell's on Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition.

Helping others transform their lives and showing them that IT CAN BE DONE is my Ambition in life. This is something I am very passionate about.

"Making the Impossible, POSSIBLE!"


This must be the most asked question.
What did you do?

I would not call it a diet but rather a life-style change.
After being challenged by a friend of mine, WBFF fitness model Andrey Davidenko, and speaking with a few people on what I should eat, I chose a High Protein Diet with a Moderated Carb intake. I did not completely eliminate Carbs because they are a major source of our energy. I used the "little rule" If it was originally white in color, I removed these items from my diet. These foods consisted of rice, pastas, breads, crackers, and tortillas. When it came to eating Carbs, I would eat whole vegetables, whole fruits, and whole grain cereals. When eating out and ordering a salad, I completely ate it dry. Absolutely No Dressing! Dressing takes the HEALTHY out of the salad. I also stayed away from Ketchup and Mayonnaise. I completely removed sodas, juices and any other item that are not Water. I strictly drink Water!!

I allowed myself one cheat meal a week which usually fell on Friday Nights. When going out to dinner with friends, I would eat whatever I wanted, but sticking to water as my beverage.

When it came to Exercise, I stuck to straight Cardio. I began walking for 45 minutes a day and did so for at least 1 week. The following week I began jogging, working my way to where I completely jogged for the entire 45 minutes. I am currently running anywhere from 5 to 10 miles a day.

10 Reasons to get HEALTHY!


1. When you are healthy and fit, you will feel more energetic. So even after a long day at work, you will have the energy to spend quality time with family and friends instead of simply crashing in front of the TV.

2. A healthy fitness level makes you look good and young. With a healthy fitness level, your body will be toned and you will neither be under nor overweight. A well proportioned body and toned muscles will make you beautiful both inside and out.

3. When you are healthy with a high fitness level, both your mind and your body function better. You achieve and do more in less time and are more efficient.

4. By maintaining a healthy fitness level, you ward off a large number of lifestyle related ailments like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, migraines, back and muscle problems and pains, arthritis and other heart and immune system related problems.

5. A high level of fitness leads to increased stamina. This means that you actually have more energy to do what you love in life, be it dancing, playing with your kids, indulging in your favorite sport or putting your heart and soul in your own business.

6. By being fit, you lessen the risk of injury and muscle and bone related ailments. Since you will need to exercise regularly to maintain a healthy fitness level, your bone density and muscle density and strength will increase over a period of time, making you less susceptible to injuries.

7. With a healthy fitness level, you will age better. Stronger bones and muscles and a healthy constitution will ensure that age related ailments like arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, heart diseases and low stamina and energy have the least effect on your body.

8. When you have a healthy fitness level, you will feel happy. This is because exercising releases feel good hormones or endorphins, which will give you a high and make you feel better and happier throughout the day. Being fit has been known to counteract depression and anxiety as well.

9. Your risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and some cancers is alleviated if you maintain a healthy fitness level. This means that you will live longer with a high fitness level.

10. Being healthy and fit is its own reward! When you are disease free and happy; when you are the perfect weight for your height and when you have the energy to do anything that you want for as long as you want it, then you are one of the luckiest people on this earth.
