Ok, so I figured I needed to practice what I preach.  I have been a rather large individual for some time.  I have always played off being a bit chubby by saying that I needed the weight for certain activities and weightlifting was one of them.  I have always loved lifting heavy weights and eating a lot and I have always been able to carry my load while maintaining very athletic movements.

Where is this going?  I have been involved with tons of nutrition research and decided to put ideas and theories to work to see if my philosophy worked in everyday life.  I have tested out my influence on numerous individuals, all who have reaped a lifestyle change toward healthier living and sustainable eating.  I finally decided I must go through with this as well.

Acceleration Diet:  In 28 days, I lowered myself from a bodyweight of 265 to 241 pounds.  I did this by continuing to eat absolutely everything that I wanted.  I just listened to my body and followed the plan I have laid out for proper nutrition.  Essentially, a detailed plan guided me along while I listened to my body and the foods in season.  Below are my pictures.

Ironically, I lost 24 total pounds even while only doing two weeks of leg lifts. I injured my back (goofing around of course) and this prevented me from continuing leg training.  Instead, I only did torso movements and absolutely NO running or conditioning.  I am quite pleased to say for some reason, I got ridiculously strong.  My body is more efficient, has learned how to use less energy while recruiting more muscle.  My lifts went through the roof and I feel as though my lean muscle mass improved dramatically.  Enjoy the images!!!

P.S.  I definitely was bad at taking consistent images, I hope you can see the difference.  If nothing else, you will see further improvement toward optimal health in the future!!!
