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.

Day 5 of 21: (Bo)

Glycemic Index aka GI Scale

The first couple of lessons addressed the importance of carbohydrates for fuel and why our bodies need them. While carbohydrates all turn into a form of glucose (sugar), each type of carbohydrate, depending on its source, will have different rates of how fast your body converts it into glucose. This is where the importance of the GI Scale comes into play. Carbs are classified into 2 main categories that consist of complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs are your starchy foods. These types of carbs are typically refined and a white color. The rate of glucose conversion happens rapidly. The molecules of a simple carbohydrate are easily broken down, starting in your mouth palate. It is quickly absorbed for conversion; therefore, being a fast-acting energy source. You’ll see many athletes, such as marathon runners or football players consume a high dosage of either a drink or food that contains high levels of sugar and carbs. These are fast-acting carbs and sugars that are readily used for immediate fuel. For fat loss, your insulin levels must be stable; therefore, carbs that are considered starchy or higher in simple sugars spike insulin levels which makes it harder for your body to rid fat. Look to the Glycemic Index to see where your carb choices fall. This will allow you to make smarter choices!
