Pure Innovation

My first post on the new blog. How Exciting!

I would like to start off by talking about Intermittent Fasting. This is a tool I have recently become accustom to. Well let’s start at the beginning. I became aware of this when I decided I should lose weight. I am 6ft and quite a big build but the problem was I was a much bigger build than I should. I weighed in at a 122kg. The funny thing was I was very healthy. I never really got sick or had any other problems.

Like most people who decide to lose weight I was sick of being the big guy. That name that sticks with you. Mine was Big Boy. I was not meant to be offensive more of just a tag as I was a big guy. I can tell you though it really hurt. I have a great personality, I’m caring and smarter than most (Still working on Modesty). 

I was already on a kick from Giving up the Booze and Smokes so I thought why not tackle all 3. I will write a separate article on the Smokes and Booze or you will be here forever haha. I went in search of a weight loss program that would work. I read page after page after page of different idea’s as im sure you know the amount of diets is ridiculous. The amount that conflict with each other is even worse. How are you suppose to choose which one to follow.

The simple answer is don’t.

I mean it do not pick a diet that is out there. You are a fool to. You need to choose a lifestyle. If you choose to go on a crazy diet like only eating meat or doing a rain dance before each meal you will go crazy and the minute you stop you will hate yourself and eat more. Trust me. 

I decided I need to change slowly, I need to change on my terms and I needed to stop listening to people close to me. 

I needed to find my own way. I read website after website taking in all the plus’s and minus’s of the different foods and techniques. I then said lets create my own path.

As I eluded to earlier I had already given up the drink and smokes so I was on a will power high! So I said what is the next thing that I need to change. The decision I made was to start with a detox. I went with the Master Cleanse or here in New Zealand it is called the Lemon Detox Diet. I told a few people about it who thought I was crazy. Not to eat for 7 days and live off water, lemons and palm syrup. As I mentioned I was not listening to them anymore and my body would be the judge. Lets say I was not out of the woods yet.

To be continued……..
