The diet introduced me to cooking just the yucky part of the chicken, the Breast without skin, no salt, on minimum teaspoon of coconut oil, with a feast size green salad, and feast size taro. No fizzy drinks, no sugar, no fanta and grape soft drinks that I loved at the time but water, and more water everyday. To be honest I could not stick to the diet the first week, I would diet and then pinch here and there and I went to compete. It was hard at first but discovering my body changed was something that I could never imagined it would happen. As lose my body fat, I was building a strong mindset on resisting the everyday food, sticking to the diet and training hard.
In the three months I have lost 10kgs and I was ready to dance on stage, and this is how I discovered a deep understanding on food and how I relate to it. It is amazing how knowledge is powerful but I believe it is only powerful if we USE the knowledge as having it without action is the same as not having the knowledge at all. I see food differently now, I would look at a nice pizza, fried chicken, or double cheeze quarter pounder and picture what it will do to me internally, then I walk away and have a salad instead. Its not easy at first but having value my entire body mechanism over satisfying my taste buds helps me maintain a healthy eating habits and training regularly, with a motto that I cannot go three days without exercise.
