Here’s an easy start….wait for it….stabilized rice bran (soluble version). I know, not very sexy, but nutrient-dense and effective in getting your body moving back towards health.

This is the year of my ‘CORE’. I’ve dedicated this year to strengthening my core and being more healthy!

It’s not always a specific decision you can pinpoint. I’ve always strived to live well and be healthy, but I’ve taken in new information over time about what that means and changed my decisions accordingly. I have made specific decisions in this way (to eat less grains, add in types of exercise, etc), but there was a foundation.

I sense that prioritizing health is gradual for some other people too. I’ve seen friends adjust to one healthy idea at a time until they realized a trend in themselves of valuing foods and activities that promote their own health. It was easier for them to realize the trend was already there and then build on it, than to commit to it before it had started.

I do try to bring healthy foods into my friends’ lives, in a non-obnoxious way of course. Whatever choices people make down the road are their own, but building healthy steps from things they enjoy is a good start.

Why did I choose health?

Simple–I want to feel good and be happy.

For me I want to be healthy because I feel blessed that God gave me an opportunity to live and have a chance to be somebody. And it’s worth taking care of myself so that hopefully I live a long time, and enjoy my time with those closest to me as long as possible. Plus, I refuse to be brainwashed by the medical & pharmaceutical industries who only care about profits, no way will I let them control my health when I have the freedom to take charge of it myself.

For me it’s knowing deep down inside that I am an athlete despite my size. I come from a family of natural athletes. My younger is a professional athlete (NFL…Go Giants) and he was the least athletic of all my brothers growing up. I’ve always been quicker, faster, stronger and more agile at a higher scale weight than people half my size and I just wanted the outside to finally and truly reflect what I felt was true deep within my soul

It wasn’t easy transitioning from a “dormant” athlete weighed down by a 350lb frame. But when I decided that I was who I said I was, I started doing the things that I said I would do. Consequently, my inner and the natural athleticism shone through.

In that vane, I was doing 2hrs of intense Muay Thai training at 350lbs last year. I then went to Thailand to train with Thai fighters at 300lbs in the scorching heat 3 - 4 hrs a day for 3 months. All because I truly believed that despite my size, I was an athlete and that in a matter of time, the whole world was going to know it too. The power of the mind I tell you!

So I’ve managed to drop about 130lbs so far and I’m still moving in the right direction. I’m always learning new things to effectively and efficiently get me where I want to be, and I’d like to personally thank you for this website. It’s a wealth of information.

Cheers!
