The Life that led me to Bariatric Surgery
Part 1 of My Weightloss Journey My maternal side of the family carries the female fat genes and I inherited every single one of them. My mother had 3 brothers and two sisters. Her mother, aunts, and grandmother were………..fat. Today they would be labeled morbidly obese. Her two sisters tended toward chubbiness but dieted themselves out of it most of their lives. Due to the luck of the gene draw, and the extremely unwise decision to smoke instead of eat, my mother was the only skinny woman in the family, barely tipping the scale at 100 lbs. at the age of 21.

Use Slim-N-Trim Natural Appetite Suppressant Pills For Easy Weight Loss
Keeping a sound weight is only a basic condition, that is, assuming you devour a larger number of calories than you consume, you will put on weight. Then again, assuming you eat fewer calories than you consume, then, at that point, you would shed pounds.

Peeping into the Keto World
What is Keto Plan? The ketogenic diet, sometimes known as the keto diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that has grown in popularity in recent years. It's based on the idea that severely restricting carbohydrate intake drives the body into metabolic ketosis, which can help the body burn fat. It's comparable to other low-carb diets like the Atkins diet.

The Power of Intermittent Fasting
I’ve been an Athlete most of my life running Cross Country and playing basketball up to the collegiate level, so I’ve been in pretty good shape as I grew older through my 30’s and 40’s, keeping active enough to maintain my body weight between 200 to 215 pounds at 6’2” tall . But when I was 49 years old, I suffered through an accident that left me bedridden and required a 14 hour operation to save my left arm, requiring 6 pins and screws to save my shoulder during that major reconstructive surgery, and most of the muscle in my front left deltoid was removed, this resulted in me being incapacitated for two months in which time my weight ballooned up to 280lbs not just because of the inactivity but also the many anti inflammatory and corticosteroids the were giving me to help heal, but I was aware that I was losing muscle and becoming, well to be honest, I was getting fat to the point that I could see some cellulite forming on my inner thighs. As I laid there I knew that this weight gain would kill me eventually if left unchecked, so I had the idea not to just follow any diet, but try to find the diet that people with unlimited funds and time were following, I thought this would be some sort of multi-million dollar secret, but I soon discovered it was not, it just was not well known yet. So I looked towards the movie stars who have created incredible transformations for a Movie role. And one common thread kept coming up, with access to the best trainers and dietitians in the world, Intermittent fasting was a common denominator among all these. stars, including Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) to Chris Pratt( Guardians of the Galaxy) to Chris Hemsworth ( Thor) to name just a few, and it’s not just for men, Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johanssen, Reese Witherspoon and Giselle Bundchen all follow the Intermittent fasting program and swear by it. So let’s say I was more than a little intrigued by the fact that all these megastars were following the same dietary program, and after further research I discovered that this was not some million dollar secret, if anything it was going to be LESS expensive to follow than my normal diet. And as I excitedly planned my foray into the world of intermittent fasting, I discovered that it not only transformed your body, but also could extend your life (longevity), improve cognitive functioning and stave off cognitive decline, increases cell survival, enhances metabolism ( through better glucose and cholesterol maintenance) , increases mitochondrial functioning and thus energy production and increases brain derived neurotropic functioning, which also improves overall brain functioning. But first things first, I was heavy, I wanted not to be heavy anymore, and I’d think about the other benefits afterwards, so I planned a modest exercise program around my injuries, and started my intermittent fasting program, which at its core is a form of caloric restriction, followed by a period of overfeeding during the same day. So my program went like this, with the goal to increase the fasting period throughout the day, and the great thing about waking up to begin fasting is the fact that your sleep gives you 6 to 8 hours of fasting right out of the gate in the morning, and my first modest goal was to make it to 1:00 pm without eating (I did have one coffee, not regular sugar laden whipped cream coffee, lol, because that would of ended the fast, one Coffee, no sweetness, not a lot of calories, and without advertising it here, or getting off track, it’s called BP Coffee, abbreviated but I know a simple Google search will tell you all about it, some of the aforementioned stars also used it, so I included it in my program) So if I woke up at 7:00 am, and let’s say you slept 7 hours, if you made it to 1:00 pm that would be a 13 hour fast, and my ultimate goal was to make it to 5:00 pm.
