My introduction is simple. I am a 32 year old man, who has struggled with weight most, if not all of his life. The most I travel this journey, the more I think I am typical of many people who struggle with weight.
This is not intended to be a cry session, so I will keep this short. I am currently 255 pounds. Although I live what I consider to be a very active life style, most of that is NOT muscle. According to my ghetto scale I am at 39% body fat. I run a couple half marathons a year, work out three times a day - study health and nutrition, avoid fast foods, eat whole foods, and never seem to really make any progress in losing weight. There was one point when I lost 70 pounds in two years, but it was at a unique period in my life (and weight loss was not the goal). I have seen Doctors who have said it is genetics - which it might be. I have seen naturopaths - which have released emotions, healed things, and despite feel phenomenal, still no positive change. I haven't given up - I have just had to start working on other things that can bring me a sense of contentment.
However, I still workout three times a day - following a reasonable pattern. I still eat just under 2000 calories a day - keeping at least 1000 calorie deficit a day. And I have decided to try something new - more for fun rather than for actual results.
So here is the plan...
1) I will continue to work out regularly seeking to improve stamina, health, and strength - and it makes me feel good. I will keep track of all of that.
2) I will continue to eat well - keeping track of all of that.
3) I will eliminate all of my supplements (vits. minerals, etc.) with the exception of some fish oil.
4) I will TEST as many weight loss, diet pills on the market - track their results, and see if any of them work. I will do a complete cycle of each, as directed (maintaining exercise, eating right), and then post the result.
No pictures though - I am not going to be one of those guys with questionable pictures. And let's be honest. I am going to be pleased with a few pound difference. I am not going into this expecting any miracle pictures within a month of each product.
I will also cycle in between each product with a cleanse to "reboot" the system - and I think cleansing is important. Maintaining the same lifestyle, I will also review those as well.
Lets get started.
Sincerely,
O'Conner
