Getting Started - Day 53

Last weigh-in:  204.9  Today's weight: 204.7  (started at 235 pounds)I still have a long ways to go to get down to 170, but I am feeling great and healthy as an ox.  I have met numerous people lately with all kinds of diseases.   I feel really sad for those who are struggling with cancer.  For many the doctors are failing them and it's sad.  People with cancer need to know there are other things they can do to fight against cancer and even REVERSE cancer.  Please visit the page below:

Getting Started - Day 43

Last weigh-in:  204.9  Today's weight: 204.9  (started at 235 pounds)

While I am currently maintaining weight, my health is incredible.  Great energy, never sick and feeling awesome.  If you're wondering why my weight has slowed down, it's because I am eating a lot of food.  I am enjoying extra servings of healthy food before I tighten things back up here shortly and starting pushing for more weight loss by eating less beans and whole grains and increase more veggies and fruits.  Especially bananas!

Did you know bananas are rich in potassium, vitamin B6, fiber and most of the vital vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids?  Bananas contain good amounts of manganese, magnesium, phosphorous and some vitamin A and vitamin E.
  
Medical benefits:
The potassium in the banana is helping the heart stay strong and it is good for the muscles. It also regulates the blood pressure and the water balance in the body.  The vitamin B6 in the banana strengthens the immune system and helps build the neurotransmitters of the brain.

Bananas contain "allicin" which helps to fight off infection, keep blood pressure at a healthy level or lower it if there is the need to and it also lowers the cholesterol in the body. Unripe bananas can be used as a cure against constipationRipe bananas as a cure for diarrhea!

My daily goal is to eat 5 to 10 bananas!  The more the better and they are cheap!

Getting Started - Day 38

Last weigh-in:  205.4  Today's weight: 204.9  (started at 235 pounds)

Weight loss has been minimal the past couple weeks, but considering on how much I am eating I can understand that.  I eat tons of fresh fruit & veggies, but I have been eating a ton of hearty vegetarians soups at night.  I really love making soups that are loaded with chunky vegetables and beans.  I make an incredible variety of Cuban soups that are very healthy with lots of fiber, but the do have some calories in them from all the beans.  

My wife has been making a lot of "Vegan" desserts lately & those have been killing me!  When you eat as healthy as I do and all the sudden there is a yummy dessert that I am allowed to have......well....it's freaking hard not to eat it!   Even though it's a vegan dessert with no refined sugars or dairy, it is still high calorie & not "healthy", but wow my wife makes some good stuff!  I literally have been eating about 3000 to 3500 calories per day with no exercise so I know in order to lose weight faster I need to start exercising or cut back on my food intake, but I love to eat good healthy food because I am always exploding with energy!  

Also people ask me a lot what is the worse thing in someones diet.  If there is one thing you can cut completely out of your diet it is dairy!  Dairy is worse than meat and refined sugars.  "Casein" the protein found in dairy causes cancer and all other kinds of health issues.  It clogs up our body and it is not good!  The pus cells in dairy are loaded with crap that is bad for you body! Eat your meat, processed foods and unrefined sugars, but get rid of dairy!
