For the next 4 years I worked out 4-5 days a week, ate more veggies and fruit, salads, lowered my sugar intake gave up sodas, drank plenty of water, switch from white bread to whole wheat then reduced bread intake all together, all the things nutrionist say to do, but I did not lose any weight. Of course my friends and other people I would see reguraly at the gym were losing weight. So I would ask them what they did for their weight loss and each would say all they did were the things I mentioned above. After all these years and without much weight loss...and I'm not exaggerating, when I started those 4 yrs of working out/eating better I weighed 150 with a BMI of 24% (I'm 5'4) and after 4 years I weighed 149 with a BMI of 23%. Every week I would weigh myself and the weight would stay exactly the same, never up nor down...it was just bizzare to me! And yes I had my thyroid checked, hormones, glucose, etc...I had REPEATED tests because I was just sure it was one of these causing no weight loss. So last year I remember sitting at dinner with friends, after ordering water to drink and of course looking at the menu to see what the healthiest choice was but really wanting a steak with a baked potato and I thought to myself "I give up" literally... I'm tired of eating healthy foods, drinking water, exercising my behind off all for nothing...oh I forgot to mention that during all this eating healthy and working out I also could not get my cholesterol levels to drop below 200, and even once it was 220...so I told myself that evening to order the steak, order a Dr. Pepper...and from that point on I ate WHAT ever I wanted...when I would go out to dinner and I had a craving for a certain food I would order that...I would constantly eat at fast food places especially the Big Mac at McDonald's, I drink Dr P all the time, lowered my water intake...I even STOPPED exercising all together, cancelled my membership...now I did lower my portions, for example, half my hamburger instead of trying to eat it without one of the buns, 6 french fries and only half the soda. Also I was EVEN skipping breakfast...GUESS what... within 2 months I dropped 15lbs and down 2 sizes and my cholestrol went down to 160! I've been able to keep off the weight for a year now! Does anyone have any idea on how this worked?? I'm not complaining by no means just a bit surprised by the more unhealthy I eat the better my body feels and responds...things that make you go hmmm???
