NSFW How changing my diet changed my body......

[JacaRanda]

Fun thread! There are a lot of inspirational stories out there. :hug::

I'm hooked on Shaun T's workouts and BeachBody stuff in general! I finished the 2 month Insanity program about a year and half ago. It completely changed my outlook on working out. In 2 months I went from being fit, to a machine! From there, I started coaching people through the program on the BeachBody forums. Kathy, props to you for starting Insanity! Let me know if you need any help with your journey! Now, I'm doing T25 which is just a 25 minute workout a day. Thank god cause those Insanity workouts are about an hour long.

As far as eating goes, I eat a high protein diet. (haha) :greenpbl: Lot's of veggies and fruits!! I try to keep the carbs as low as possible. =)
Rule #1 Eat a healthy breakfast!!!
Rule #2 Don't eat after 7!!!

Do you do these workouts at home or do you have a gym to go to?

I do all my workouts at home! I get them done first thing in the morning.

That avatar suggests the workouts are done other than in the morning. Are you double d-ipping?

I tend to run 6k and row 5k every day just to keep fit. I teach martial arts and train in that that around 4 days as well as well as 3 weights sessions a week. I guess you can say I work out a bit.....

Chard, Rainbow Chard, Purple Kale, Cucumber, Lemons, Apples, Ginger, Spinach, Carrots, Kale, Mint, Celery, sometimes Beets, Tumeric. - All organic. I get more fresh veggies every morning than most people get in a week. We call it "green drink." I try to slam a shot of spirulina in the mornin too...

She actually did a cleanse for 10 days drinking nothing but this. - She said she felt awesome in the end. Now we just have a glass every day. We use the Brevel Juicer - sweet machine

You guys are lucky to have such great sources of produce. Were I live is at "the end of the road" so to speak so our veggie's tend to be a little ragged. Summer is nice for all the locally grown stuffs.

Don't buy into the organic idea tho.

You need to do something about that rat's nest of wires behind the television.

Quite unsightly...

Over the last 6 plus months or so I have incorporated juicing into my diet for one main meal a day, and sometimes two. Besides juicing I have went to a clean, whole food diet. So basically food you find on the outer aisles at your grocery store. No processed food. No fast food. No junk food, and the only sugar I consume is in the form of natural sugars found in the fruits I use to juice with. I will add that when I do juice I mainly use veggies, and less fruits to avoid the added sugar. I use ALOT of greens.
I do eat what I want on occasion, but not too often. If I really want a cupcake...I eat a cupcake. I don't deprive myself of anything, because I wanted this to be a lifestyle change and not a diet. What I have found is that I feel better, my body is now used to the healthier way of eating, and I no longer crave the complex carbs.
I just thought I would share my experience, because it really has changed my views on food. I will add that I also exercise about 5 days a week, and that is a key component in this equation. I have seen major changes in my body since I have changed my diet, and the amount of energy I have. I don't want to lose anymore weight at this time, but I do want to continue to tone certain areas. If anyone has any questions about juicing in general please feel free to ask.

Kathy, I am hoping you're not working in the ICU. Otherwise some poor gent will open his eyes and think he's died and gone to heaven.
