MY First Post on this board
Good for your friend... First step on his journey is deciding he needs to do it.
Here's me 2 months ago. 5'9" tall 251lbs 39%bf after several accidents and surgeries always detering me from getting back to the gym. 46" waist
Here's me now. 5'9" 212 lbs 26%bf with a 38"-40" waist.
How did I do it (bad knee rules out most of the cardio I used to do).????
No more Coke only diet cola and water. No juice too much sugar, Carbs down to a minimum without hating my diet (think about it if you are used to having Steak, baked potatoe, peas, and rice - double your protein cut your carbs in half thats a huge difference. I know I wasn't in Ketosis except maybe my first week. I never do fast food more than 1 X per week. (Everyone deserves a treat just don't gorge yourself). I ate 4 eggs and 4 strips of bacon for breakfast then a steak and green beans for lunch then chicken and a potatoe for dinner. slices of ham for a snack if I got hungry for a snack. (I also cut out caffeine). 1st week I felt tired and drained for 3 or 4 days then energy came full force.
What did I do for excercise? hmm I lifted my arm to point my remote at the tv, I did a sawing motion to cut my meats.. thats pretty much it for my first 2 months. The high blood pressure and extra weight on my weakened knee prevented anything more. Now that I'm close to 200 lbs I'm going to start walking, quit smoking again, start jogging once I can breath walking. My blood pressure is normal now after loosing the 40 lbs, I feel much better. Tell him to start slow on the effort... I did and got surprising results of 25lbs my first month and 15 my 2nd. This month I'll encorporate workouts and cardio and hopefully get down to under 200lbs plus put on some solid muscle again. I have been debating doing CLEN but haven't heard enough about it yet.
Well thats my story in a nutshell.. I'm on my way back to a good body as long as my knee and shoulder don't fail me. GOOD LUCK TO YOUR FRIEND.
If he says he'll start next week... Tell him ok.. start that stuff next week but stop drinking soda and juice now. Switch to Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi Pepsi One or something with no calories or sugar. That and water.. I think that made a huge difference alone. Think of the hundreds of calories he is drinking every day (not even satisfying calories of eating). Then each week add another step.
Sorry this has been so long but I'm new and wanted to offer what little info I have to someone who may benefit from something I say. Anyone in my situation with some good Clen advice feel free to email me. (Plus whats a good price for it)? I'm always looking for helpful tips on things I can do.
