Why I Got Started
dot

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
dot

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.

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 a 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.
