Andy and I had gotten comfortable with our eating habits, our lifestyle, our
weight. That was until we went to a surprise birthday party for one of Andy's
best friends. His friend was always a bigger guy. I recall how hilarious his
skin-tight astronaut Halloween costume was a few years back. It's an image
burned in my brain :) But the guy that showed up to the party had lost 40
pounds and looked great! He was in shape, eating healthy, working out regularly.
We decided we wanted that, too.
That very next day, we started the diet he and his
wife were on. It's simple. A free app on our phone called Calorie Counter - My
Fitness Pal. You can also use the website, free as well, www.myfitnesspal.com. You program in
your age, height, weight, activity level, what you want to weigh, and how fast
you want to get there. It then calculates how many calories you should have in
a day in order to meet your goal, taking into account that one should not go under
a certain level. Almost every meal is in the database. You simply type in what
you're about to eat and it tells you the number of calories in that food. Easy!
Andy has reached his target weight after losing about 22 lbs. Me, I've lost
about 15 and have a little bit more to go. We have been able to lose the weight
at a comfortable, healthy pace.
One
of the foods that was already in the database that made a HUGE difference for
me was Xocai, healthy chocolate. Yes, what helped me most with my diet was Chocolate! That craving in the afternoon
as I sit at my computer at work used to massacre my diets in the past. Now, I
pick up three chocolates throughout my day to get me my sweet fix. Not only are
the calories reasonable, it's healthy!
Guilt-free! Three of these very satisfying chocolates in a day is equivalent,
nutrition-wise, to a plate full of spinach! This is not just another dark
chocolate you can get anywhere. They've mastered cold
processing so that the nutrition is not lost. Incredible stuff.
Needless
to say, I am sold. I make sure to get my daily intake of Xocai chocolate every
day and I'm spreading the word. According to many, many testimonials you can read on the http://mydrchocolate.com website, I'm
helping to put into the hands of others a product that could help them lose
weight, lower cholesterol, relieve arthritis, improve cardiovascular health,
decrease or eliminate the need for prescription meds, among many others. If you want to know more, let me know!
