While in my twenties, I have to say I had no worries about eating healthy, nor in moderation. I was able to eat and maintain my size 4 figure for decades,  so of course when I hit 40 I figured I was still one of the lucky ones who could eat whatever she wanted to and stay thin and healthy, until of course I developed high blood pressure and other health concerns which got me to re-think my eating habits.

In the last two years, I’ve been on a crusade to find the best possible recipes and menus to follow just so I could, not only maintain my weight, but also ensure, all my health issues are under control.

What I got sucked into during the time was following an accelerated and pre-packaged diet plans and  although I lost weight, I didn’t do it the (very) healthy way I wanted to. I won’t mention what didn’t really work for me, but from all the aggressive dieting I not only gained the weight back, but my blood pressure went  through the roof due to the amount of salt intake in the meal plans.

What I discovered thorough research is that I needed to follow a  more  streamlined and regimented process of eating fresh and home cook meals to achieve the results I am ultimately going to feel good about.  So, I’ve signed up with this program to follow a nutritionist’s guide to losing weight.

I am motivated, committed and driven to follow through the program and  I’m hoping to share with you my weekly progress and the recipes which I have adapted into my diet and hopefully by 30June2013, I can actually report that I have my weight and health issues completely under control.
