The Fully Transparent, Completely Public Diet. Please Watch.
October 29, 2010 1 Comment
After all the posts here about tools to use to diet, I’ve decided to take the plunge. My daughter’s bat mitzvah is in early February, and I like to take some weight off to look good in the family photos. Unfortunately, I’ve hovered around the same weight for the past few months and need to find something else to help.
The bat mitzvah is roughly 14 weeks away. So, I’ve decided to lose 13 pounds in the next 13 weeks – to go from 193.2 to 180.2. I’m going to use all the tools I’ve cited on this blog, and I’m going to make everything public.
- I have entered into a new contract at Stickk.com. I commit to losing 1 pound a week for 13 weeks. If I miss a week, I will give $100 per charity for each week. You can support me and follow my progress on Stickk.com here.
- I am using my Wi-Fi connected Withings scale and tweeting and Facebooking my weight daily. You can also view my weight chart here through Withings.com.
- I am exercising often and, when I run, I’m tweeting and Facebooking my results using the Nike+ GPS app on the iPhone 4. If you want more info, you can register at NikeOnline and “friend” me there to see my results.
- I am tracking what I eat through Lose It! and, like Brian Stelter, I’ll be tweeting what I eat every day as a tracking mechanism.
- I will also be posting pictures on a weekly basis on this blog. The first ones are up.
So – a fully transparent diet. Please watch. (For folks that follow me @STLSpidey, note that I’m using a different Twitter account for this – @AndyMayer13.)
Tell me how you are doing on your program and what works for you through comments or twitter responses. Offer advice to others who follow me, and I’ll retweet them out.
We’ll see how it goes. Next stop is 192.2 by next Thursday.
It’s good that you are asking that qstueion now, rather than 5-10 years from now.Because you are 17, your body is working very well, and your metabolism is keeping any unwanted weight off.If you continue to eat this way, your pancreas, which plays a very large role in processing all of the food you eat, will start to wear out, which can cause type 2 diabetes later on down the road . which is not a good condition to have!Once you age a little and your metabolism slows down, you will start to store fat on your body, including around your vital organs, that’s when things can get dangerous, which can lead to heart problems etc If you want to prevent weight gain, diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, high blood pressure and high cholesterol,even dementia the list goes on and on, then try feeding your body the essential nutrients it NEEDS to keep top notch and prevent all these health problems.there are lots of foods that help prevent cancer from forming in the body, which are called anticarginogens some examples are: all berries, almonds etc you can help prevent dementia like alziemers by eating foods high in omega 3, such as flax ,certain fishes like salmon etc Alot of people do what you are doing, and then wisen up about healthy food when they are maybe in their 20 s. my husband actually changed his diet when he wasa in his 20 s because of all the digestive problems he was experiencing.I think it’s great you are thinking about this now!I hope I was helpful!
