Weight loss journey : Where you go is worth your focus, not where you are.
MARK B.'s weight loss travel to wellness.
He talks about himself prior to his wish of a change with words below :
"I have been heavy all my life."
"I could count as 3 people and it only got worse."
"I weighed close to 550 pounds."
"I started weighing myself at work because they have a scale that weighs people in wheel chairs and was able to weigh me."
Then came a choice :
"I would not weight that much."
Went to his doctor and discovered this :
"I am Extremely SeverelyMorbidly Obese (bmi 72+) With Obstructive Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure and Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints (My knees) both need to be replaced." also
"My doctor was impressed with
Cholesterol 137 Range 100-200
HDL 51 Range 40-60
Triglycerides 113 range < 150 LDL 109 range 89-130 Blood sugar 100 range 80-110" Things didn't happened magically... "I have tried diets over the past." But no success :( But he didn't gave up and succeeded at the end : "I have a past history of Depression, with a family history of Obesity, Cancer and Diabetes" But "I am able to walk several miles now." "I do not use my cane or my handicap parking pass except on bad days" Did I mention "I walk with a cane and cannot walk any distance without pain or becoming short of breath." ? "My only regret that I have is not doing it sooner to spend my quality time with my 2 sons as they grew up ,I missed going on hikes with them, go kart racing, theme parks going to the movies all the stuff I could not do because of my size or energy level or pain level. " Never say NEVER and don't wait anymore to take care...
He's raising money for obesity research.

What's involved into the abs affair? just an healthy diet or fitness too... Is it all ?
“Abs are made in the kitchen” but extra factors play roles too!
Before we talk about the factor "Kitchen", let's talk about others that count too
1.Where you start/came from in term of initial body fat.
The present comes from the past, and the future will come from the present ; If you have a high % of body fat, you will have to burn lots of fat then hold a certain level of leanness for a certain time before seeing your abdominal muscles.
Because the fat you shred doesn't go completely, but leave a tissue that require a longer hold of efforts to disappear.
2. Your cortisol level.
Nights are designed for sleeping, which can incredibly adjust your control level : Getting to bed at a reasonable hour and preferably the same every night for a reasonable length is a good way of taking advance of this...
Note : The reasonable length is up to each one's activity level ; the more you're active, the more you need sleep !
3. Genetics
Like it or not, your genetics have lots to say about how you look.
But you aren't obliged to fit their profile : Remember that you're what you convince yourself you are ... Create a new reality is needed !
4. Excessive aerobic exercise.
Things, even good ones, are dangerous if did excessively ... It's the case of aerobic fitness.
Walking, light hiking or bike riding, mobility circuits, etc aren't harmful, but the hours and hours of doing them.
5. Healthy eating.
Like I said at the top of this article "Abs are made in the Kitchen" this signify that talking about this factor is worth an entire article. So, keep in touch ... the article is in kitchen and coming ...

Impossible is not human, switch your fitness mode on.
"Progress is impossible without change,
and those who can't change ... can't change anything" -George BERNARD SHAW
This apply for your fitness and healthy diet goal !
Whatever your final goal are :
Weight loss, toned body or muscles building...
Keep in your mind that other people is doing it and
"They can because they think they can." -virgil.
Keep up the good work with your fitness routine
and/or healthy diet if you've started, and start if you waiting
for whatever you don't have to wait for... I'm sure :)
Because you will thank yourself for a lifetime
of being on your ideal weight and body fat %;
It might take long time to reach your goals
but as soon as you get there, you will notice it was worth
putting yourself in with fitness and healthy diet.
if you expect it to be difficult, it will be. ifyou expect it to be easy, it will be. it's alldown to perception and belief. The universe will always conspire to give us what we believe, it's the law of attraction.
and those who can't change ... can't change anything" -George BERNARD SHAW

Fitness practiser or not ; Get best proteins from...
Of course, my position regarding the best source of proteins is not only based on the following ...
The fact is : The man is one of the best doctor ever, and I'm not saying this only because he recommends healthy eating but because really all he recommends seem to work. :)
"Scientists have found that animal proteins are particularly damaging to the body, because so many of their amino acids contain sulfa, which is far more toxic to the liver and kidneys than vegetable proteins. One of the most time-honored approaches to healing the kidneys and liver, in fact, is to eat a low-protein diet, especially a diet low in animal proteins. When the protein content of the diet drops, kidneys are strengthened and very often healed." Dr. John A McDougall
He was one of the first traditional physicians of the medical "establishment" to assert that adoption of a vegetarian diet can reverse unfavorable medical conditions such as heart disease.
Medical research is now confirming this assertion. And slowly butsurely, medical practitioners are accepting it. With this been said, let's add that He cared for thousands of patients over almost 3 decades of medical practice and has run a highly successful live-in program for more than 20 years.
Targeted goals Dramatic and lasting health benefits such as weight (fat) loss, serious illness cure, such as heart disease, without drugs.
