I got this book by Jillian Michaels called "Master Your Metabolism" in it she describes how she use to be (did you know she use to be fat?!) In it she says something that reminds me of... Well... Me. So I thought I'd share:
"By seventeen, ... There was nothing that I didn't read or know about. I had every trade magazine from 'Muscle & Fitness' to 'Shape.' I read every diet book, tried every fitness craze. I saw what worked and what didn't... I was obsessed with finding the right ways to burn fat, ... for me. For example, for a while, I followed the prevailing belief that the most effective way to burn fat was to work out on an empty stomach... and came to find out that it was exactly the wrong thing to do because your body with metabolize its own muscle tissue! Scratch that, move on to the next thing. I did the same thing with my diet. I experimented with Atkins, Blood Type, PH, Paleolithic, South Beach Diet, Vegetarianism, food combining--even the dreaded Master Cleanse (yes, that's the lemonade diet thing)--Why? Because I wanted to be skinny! For a full decade, I treated my body like I was a lab rat."
Sound familiar, anyone? Lol. Anyway. Did you know a lot of weight gain and work out Plateaus come from hormone imbalances? I'm so excited to have this book right now because it's going to show me how to get my hormones back in balance, which will ultimately help me get healthy (: I'll keep you all updated.
