Why I Got Started

I wanted to lose weight and eventually taper off my medication if possible. The doctors were planning on putting me on two more medications.

How I Did It

I started off increasing my fruits and vegetables. My weight dropped to 156 and I found that I needed less medication. At about the end of my 3rd month I added plant protein. I would water fast 2 days a week.

	Water Fasting Water fasting is a type of fasting in which the practitioner consumes only water. One may water fast for a variety of reasons, including health improvement and medical and religious requirements. Some engage in water fasting as a detox diet. No energy is spent on digestion, other than to heat any cold water to reach homeostasis of a uniform body temperature. The fast is normally undergone with the intent of detoxification for greater health. [http://en.wikipedia.org]

I did a lot of cardio and eventually added in weights. After 9 months I added animal protein, whey protein and creatine into my diet. Now my weight is at 165 and I eat 4 times per day.

Greg Young's Training Routine

I change up my workout routine every 2 weeks. I feel that if you stay doing one routine for too long, the body adapts to the stress and you don't continue to progress.

Suggestions For Others

Effort is everything. If you don't give 100%, you're wasting your time. It can be done at any age, all you have to do is believe in yourself and others will believe in you as well.
