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 6 of 21


Day 6 of 21
Everyone’s lives are so busy these days; sometimes it’s hard enough just to get workouts in without having to figure out what to eat when you drag yourself home at night.  This is usually when your eating healthy begins to suffer!
When this happens and things get chaotic, meals are usually the first things that suffer. Again, we rely on the quick and easy and we stop and pick up fast food, hit the vending machine at work or school, and even skip meals sometimes. All of these are things that should be avoided and are just affecting your body in negative ways. Eating the wrong kinds of food at the wrong times can create disarray on how you feel which then affects how well your body functions. If you want to meet your full potential in the gym, you are going to have to eat right.
When we are extremely busy, we tend to eat whatever is in front of us, no matter if its good or bad for us. So if you can plan your meals and have them handy throughout the day, you will have a greater chance of success in meeting your diet and exercise goals.
Here are some helpful meal preparation strategies:
  •         Make a plan—It is important to look at your food and drink intake over the course of the entire day and plan ahead for it.  If you know ahead of time that you will be eating out at a restaurant or a friend’s house, you can plan around the unhealthy items. Even a quick plan made in the morning or before you go to bed at night will save you time and frustration later when the “before bedtime munchies” kick in!
  •        Cook in batches—Whenever you find the time to cook, make enough for several days. Separate the food into smaller portions and store in the fridge or freezer. That way it will be ready to be packed up whenever you need it.  This is something I do personally and helps me out tremendously
  •       Invest in a cooler—If you are going to be away from home all day, pack all 4-5 meals and take them with you in a cooler or hot/cold lunch bag.  This practice will save you headaches later on and may even save you money because you aren’t eating out.
  •         Try for balance–Make sure that each meal is a good balance of carbohydrates (good ones) and proteins so that your body’s energy stays balanced as well. Eating all the proteins for your entire day in one sitting is not a balanced approach.
  • Accessible meals will help you stay on the right track to meeting your fitness goals. You will be less hungry, more energetic, and it will create have a positive outlook on things, as you continue to work hard towards reaching your fitness goals. So plan for and prepare your meals ahead of time and you are sure to start feeling and looking great.
