How I Lost 40 Pounds in Six Weeks!

It was the happiest day of my life! I was running down the
concourse of the airport to catch my plane to a new life –
in the Air Force. I felt free and alive for the first time
in my life.

At first the Air Force didn’t want me, because I was overweight!

But I did it! I lost the weight! I went from 165 pounds to
125 pounds. I made it! I felt fantastic! A whole new wardrobe
of sizes 10′s and 11′s were waiting for me.

I lost 40 pounds in six weeks eating–only protein and drinking
lots of water.

I drank a lot of water and took multi-vitamin pills.
I kept busy looking for a job, playing golf, swimming,

and drawing. In the mornings I did 15 sit-ups and 50
running in place. There was one consolation about not
eating, no food bills. MacDonald’s was next door.
Smelling those Big Mac’s drove me crazy.

I was feeling much better about myself and saw the difference.
My clothes were getting baggy and lose. The high protein diet
was made for me, because I loved meat, eggs, cheese, and fish.

Two scrambled eggs (no butter), with tea made a good breakfast.
I mixed tuna and shrimp. Some chicken, cheese, a hard boiled

egg was another meal. A piece of cheese melted
between two thin broiled hamburger patties was a
favorite of mine. I had some cottage cheese with it.
A take home box of chicken would last for three
meals. I took the skin off. Plus I drank 8-10
glasses of water a day.

Then I had to wait six months before going active duty. During
that summer I had a great time; biking, hiking, swimming, golfing.
I ate fresh fruits, vegetables, and watched what I ate. I was
full of energy. I lost some more weight.

And during basic training, I lost even more weight. All that
marching and running around, then eating military food! I was
115 pounds!

The key to the whole thing was I wanted it bad enough to make
any diet work! I don’t recommend the protein diet to anyone. It
was mine. You have to find your own, and I’m willing to help you.

I use to be shy, backward, naive, and very heavy, 165 pounds
at 5 foot 4 inches tall.

My life changed forever. I have been studying nutrition and
fitness since, and now as a Wellness Coach I help others do the
same.
