The other day, I received a rather nice complement from a colleague who noted my excellent shape and fitness. Let me tell you, staying in shape at this level is a lot of work, it's a huge sacrifice, but I feel worth it. But, not being a fitness consultant or personal trainer I wondered exactly what advice could I give that would work for almost anyone who wants to lose weight, tone up and stay healthy? Let's talk.
First, my colleague asks me; "So in addition to your exercise routine do you eat a special diet? I am just trying to watch what I eat and pay attention to portion control. I want to feel good when I look in the mirror. I don't think I will ever look like the Statue of David but then again he is dead and I am alive."
Yes of course, he's right. And, here is the advice I gave him and I'd be glad to share with you today. You see, I eat smoothies with vegetables and fruit, with isolate protein powder, and a lot of homemade soup. I also watch my calories, but not as much as I used to. But let me say this; if you'll cut your calorie intake to 2300 calories per day, walk/jog 3.2 miles per day, then boost that up to 2 walks per day, you'll lose and keep off 35 lbs in 2-months.
