And what is that diet?

1) My target weight is 225. I topped out at 305 almost a year ago. I'll never be a thin man without working our like I did when I wrestled in high school, and that involved lifting weights and running 6 miles daily, and that's not going to happen with how banged up my body is after years of contact sports and ortho surgeries. I just want to be healthy, and my blood pressure has already dropped to normal levels after being somewhat high.

2) I basically just changed my diet, but did not go on "a diet". I started analyzing how I eat, and essentially I discovered I was addicted to carbohydrates. I wouldn't eat because I was hungry, I would eat almost in a panic due to my blood sugar levels. When I ate, I wouldn't even remember exactly what I ate sometimes or what it tasted like.

I adopted Atkins and then moved to a variation of South Beach. Immediately my appetite changed, I take longer to eat, and enjoy what I eat a lot more.

3) I don't work out at all. That's going to be one of my sub-resolutions this year. I want to start walking on a regular basis like I did when I trained for our Ireland vacation.
