Intro

I decided to create this in order to document the changes in my life and, if successful, may serve as a template for others who strive to achieve a healthy lifestyle like me.

My weight loss goal is 15 pounds. I would like to lose most of it before March.

To optimize weight loss, I recommend going "all protein" for 3 days prior to starting this blog. This includes egg whites and spinach for breakfast, homemade chicken salad with lettuce, chicken, asparagus, and spiced artichokes for lunch, and red meat or chicken for dinner. Only drink green or oolong tea and water during these three days. In addition, run 1-2 miles at high intensity all 3 days.

Personally, when I do this "pre-weight loss" diet, I refrain from red meat due to its fat content. I refrain from skinless chicken and run 2 miles at high intensity.
