I say... Better than a diet
You know how attempts to lose weight fail most of the time, when you have no local support? That's not why I never was able to succeed in my attempts, so much as it was that I couldn't find the right plan. However, my mother, who's five inches shorter than me, and easily 50 pounds heavier, is finally giving in to the way of healthy living.
It took a while. She can't help but eat what's bad for her. Despite having prior heart problems, and all this other crap, she had the habit of eating red meat, raw, eating a lot of chocolate, and just eating a lot in general. Now, don't get me wrong, I do eat a lot of something when it's in front of me, but that's mostly because I end up skipping over meals. Not an excuse, but explanation as to the cause.
Now, we're on something called Provida's 6-week body makeover. Not a diet, and not generic. You go over very basic questions, including habits over the past, and any current physical conditions. With that, you get to learn of your eating plan, which is adjusted to speed up your metabolism, and deal with the nutrients that require focusing on. I'm basically a B, which is typically for those who aren't completely round, but killed their metabolism from eating disorders, and skipping meals. That, and with the tips on what to increase from low blood pressure, I have a good idea on what to eat.
Is it crazy that I'm uber excited over this? Because of the eating plan, I was able to get a rice cooker, which is also a steamer. I'm allowed to have poultry and fish, which is basically what I always eat, rice if it's steamed, and as many greens as I want. Then, in terms of fruit, I simply have to mix it up a bit.
Shopping included us raiding the spice aisle, cleaning out the fresh produce section, and getting egg whites. Oh! There are these egg noodles, made of the whites, which are also allowed. We have flounder, tuna, something that I think was cod, and chicken. Fresh herbs and spices, along with Bok Choi, green onions, broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers galore... I'm salivating over the ideas.
Other than the eating plan, there's a simple diet, made to deal with certain parts of your body, in the way you want. Whether it's sculpting, leaning, or building the muscle area, they have an exercise for it, along with the recommended schedule. It's so easy.
So, as you can see, I'm beyond excited. On the 25th, I'll take a 'current progress' picture, along with others in my cosplays. Partially for Anime Boston's events, and to let people see how I'm doing. Tomorrow would be the 'beginning' picture.
I really have a good feeling over this.
You know a weight loss plan will work if you're excited and more than willing to go all the way for the diet. Wish me luck!
