It took me lots of courage to put these words here. I hope some of you guys out there get inspired. I’ve been struggling with weight gain since childhood and this left deep emotional trauma which I’m still healing and I’m learning to love myself. It was not easy to be a fat kid that everyone made fun of. I wasn’t showing this much in my adulthood, but that frustration somehow accumulated and I was stuffing huge amounts of foods to numb that out. At the age of 30, I decided to do something about my life and I started exercising and eating healthier and changes started happening. I was less bloated, my mind started clearing up, headaches became less often and I felt better about myself. It was very hard to stay on track, but I was disciplined. There were still many things to sort out, and the biggest problem was that I was constantly hungry, my mind was hungry, no matter how much protein I ate. One time I failed of the wagon and I indulged in all the stuff I was dreaming all that time and little by little a got out of my routine. My body craved carbohydrates and sweets, but my gym coach kept persuading me that I will have to live without them. Then I found very controversial information on Amanda’s Instagram. Funny enough she was saying about eating unlimited carbs and staying slim, and I was wondering that is nonsense cause the first time in my life that I was actually able to lose some weight was when I eliminated them completely. But I messaged her and she provided me with interesting information and I started reading some things which I could resonate. Soon after I started doing her program and believe or not, I lost 12 kg in 3,5 months, without ever being hungry! She recommended me raw fruit smoothies, fresh salads with low-fat homemade dressings, and some steamed vegetables.  It was very hard on beginning cause I had to learn a lot, but I guess these changes kept my mind away from questioning. I started eating things I never noticed that they exist, and they actually tasted amazing.

I am still losing weight, my kidneys are working like crazy, I take herbs she recommended and my mind is so much happier. I notice that I am more social and laugh from the heart. Still, work in progress, but every day pushing forward.

Sorry, Amanda because I can’t provide my photos, maybe I do it in the future, but I wanted to write this, cause I really support what you are doing and incredible information that you are sharing!

 

Keep inspiring,

Oliver
