How I Lost 40 Pounds in Six Weeks!

admin 0

It was the happiest day of my life! I was running across the airport concourse to catch my plane to a new life: in the Air Force. I felt free and alive for the first time in my life.

At first the Air Force didn’t want me because I was overweight!

But I did it! I lost the weight! I went from 165 pounds to 125 pounds. I did it! I felt fantastic! I was expecting a whole new wardrobe of sizes 10 and 11.

I lost 40 pounds in six weeks eating only protein and drinking lots of water.

I drank a lot of water and took multivitamin pills. I kept busy looking for a job, playing golf, swimming and drawing. In the mornings I did 15 sit-ups and 50 running on the spot. There was a comfort in not eating, not having food bills. McDonald’s was next door. Smelling those Big Macs drove me crazy.

I felt so much better about myself and saw the difference. My clothes were getting baggy and losing. The high protein diet was made for me, because I loved meat, eggs, cheese and fish.

Two scrambled eggs (no butter) with tea made a nice breakfast. I mixed tuna and shrimp. Some chicken, cheese, a hard boiled egg was another meal. A piece of melted cheese between two thin grilled patties was one of my favorites. I accompanied a little cottage cheese. A box of chicken to take home would last three meals. I took off the skin. I also drank 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Then I had to wait six months before going on active duty. During that summer I had a great time; biking, hiking, swimming, golf. I ate fresh fruits, vegetables, and watched what I ate. He was full of energy. I lost some more weight.

And during basic training, I lost even more weight. All that marching and running, and then eating military food! I weighed 115 pounds!

The key to it all was that I wanted it bad enough to make any diet work! I do not recommend the protein diet to anyone. It was mine. You have to find yours, and I’m willing to help you.

He used to be shy, backward, naive and very heavy, 165 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches tall.

My life changed forever. I have been studying nutrition and fitness ever since, and now, as a wellness coach, I help others do the same.
