Shedding the pounds




For the last 3 months My Mom, Sister and I have been working really hard to get in shape. We started our journey to skinny by going to a weight loss clinic called MD Diet. It really is working! I was just so unhappy about how much weight I had put on after getting married so I did something about it, if only Jon would get as motivated as I am. I always have had a lil excess but that is harder to hide when you are a shorty. I have lost 18 lbs and am still losing day by day. I feel so much better about myself and it always is a plus when I get daily compliments on my figure. This program has been a challenge but I am so determined to changed my eating habits and increase my physical activity.

How the MD Diet program-
Your first session you meet with a nutritionist in a classroom type setting. She goes over information about how the diet works for instance you should eat 3 times more protein then carbs because the protein with help you burn off those carbs. Also you should eat 35 grams of protein every 4 hrs for men
it is about 10 grams more. You must go in on a weekly basis and weigh in as well as get a shot of HCG which is a hormone that your body normally produces when you are pregnant. This hormone is like a "happy drug". They also take a mapping of your body to let you know how much mass is made up of water weight, lean muscle and body fat.
