Shedding off the excess baggage

I have to face the stark reality that my body is not what it used to be.  Unlimited rice meals were of no threat and the more I put in, it easily got shed off.  Fast forward a few years plus a baby...  Yeah.  I think you got the picture.

I am all for healthy living. Nothing beats proper exercise and a healthy diet.  Badminton is my sport of choice but it has its drawbacks and my time is no longer my own so I have time here and there but not everyday (ahhh... memories!).

Diet plans come from all directions and to each their own.  It may work for one and not another.  God indeed made us unique in so many ways and that includes metabolism.  So what to do?

My sister-in-law, Vicky, who also faces the same dilemma, came upon this page.  Unlike its up close and personal counterpart, actually going to Manila to the center, this Cohen diet internet edition seems to work so far.  Well, I only went on it for about 3 days until I got sick.  But even then, I already lost 3 lbs!  I am not deprived, the menu is very well balanced and with lots of variety.  The food actually tastes good (not like a mashed up pad paper) and I can't even finish off the portions!

When I do get better, I plan to do a do over next week.  But I like it because its balanced and it is catered to my specific blood type which is interesting at the same time.  My sister has a different blood type so her menu is also different.  It gives me the freedom to try out new recipes, too.  Plus they have nutritionists online!  So I get to ask questions on a lot of things like substitutions, is it okay if I switch it with this or that...  I find it very informative!

I know how hard it can be so I am more than happy to share this.  Whats P1,000+ for 3 months?  

For whatever reason people want to loose weight, I just advise them to do it for themselves and it it will improve their way of life.  Doing it healthily and not depriving yourself of so much that it hurts to go on another day.
