Eat to live UPDATE

So, First weigh in: 10/19/2009 at 239 lbs
Last weigh in: 11/23/09 at 226lbs

13 lbs Woohoo!!!

The "lifestyle change" is going great so far. I can't believe how easy it's been. I actually feel like I could step it up. Throughout the week I'm careful to eat healthy foods, but on weekends I have eaten a lot, and still have lost weigh, I'm loving it. I'm going to the gym about 2-3 times a week, so I could definitely improve there. but woohoo it feels great!

I overheard some co-workers talking about a health book they started reading a while back, called 'Eat to Live.' Among other things, this individual shared her experience on how much weight she lost and what she did in order to achieve her weight loss goals. I was interested enough to order the book and look into it. 5 bucks plus tax. Three weeks ago Danielle and I started reading the book and both were surprised at the well-researched information which the Author shared from his years of research and expertise. The author, Joel Fuhrman, M.D., focuses on making a lifestyle change from the typical American diet to a more natural diet focused mostly on raw fruits and vegetables. I think the book is amazing! I've actually been following his advice for the last 3 weeks and have already lost 8 lbs! I'm not starving at all, I'm just eating a lot more veggies and got off the fast food train (I still visit the train every now and then, but definitely not like I used to). Anyway the book is great because he's not selling anything; he's just educating you on the important nutrients in food, what foods carry what benefits. He lays it all out, lets you know what is most healthy. I highly suggest you give it a try!
