Each year, nearly half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions.
The No. 1 resolution, not surprisingly, is weight loss and a
healthier lifestyle. Though intentions are genuine, most will fail.
The mistake often made involves extreme measures and restrictions
that are simply not realistic. I speak from experience. At the age of 23,
I weighed in at a scale-tipping 400 pounds. After enduring countless
crash and fad diets, I found the road to my 200-pound weight loss
paved with consistency, moderation, and patience.
Fifteen years later, I have kept obesity at bay. However, the last few
years have posed a challenge due to severe illness that required heavy
doses of medical steroids and painkillers. Though clinically necessary,
the medicinal combination has packed an unwanted 40 extra pounds
onto the usually lean frame I’d maintained after the initial loss.
So here I am, ready to battle the bulge once again, and I’m reminded
of my nutritional coach, Tyler Mayer of The Diet Doc Phoenix. …
“Restrictive diets don’t work. Lasting results are achieved by slowly
reducing intake while balancing your macro-nutrients. The body and
brain require certain quantities of protein, fats and carbohydrates in
moderation in order to maintain optimal weight and health.”
To help all the weight loss warriors in 2014, I’ve paired Tyler’s
science with my culinary skills and devised the Savvy Lifestyle Series.
Slowly replace some of your meals, snacks, and habits with these
balanced options. You’ll feel better and naturally make better choices.
