Describe how you ate for success.
I don’t follow a diet. I just reduced the sugar I was consuming and quantities on my meals. Kept eating normally but controlled. I added protein shakes as well.
What advice would you give anyone trying to accomplish this goal themselves?
Just keep in mind this quote “I can and I will”. It is hard and it is a slow process, but if you wanted, I don’t see why you can’t achieve it. It becomes a lifestyle and that’s when you know you are doing it right.
Why is fitness and wellness important to you?
It makes me feel amazing. It is not just physical the change you go through but emotionally as well. It is so satisfying to see how far you’ve gone and try all sorts of different ways to make it even further.
