CAN YOU EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT?
And remain fit? It is definitely possible! I eat sooo much every single day.....like 5,000 calories at least! (keep reading for the ultimate secrets at the end!!)
Okay, if you have not figured it out by now, I am completely bluffing. There is no way that most people, can eat whatever they want and remain healthy. It just does not happen. Anytime you see someone with a body that you would consider fit, they are probably doing something. Many people are under the false impression that smaller/fit people can eat anything, and still remain a certain size. NOT TRUE!
When I originally named this website, Redefining the Face of Beauty, I was speaking more about from the inside out. Unless you change how you think, you will never be able to change anything else in life.
SECRET: You have to change your lifestyle. Diets, and surgeries, may work temporarily, but unless a person changes their mind frame concerning food....they will ALWAYS gain the weight back....or never lose it.
Note: There are some issues where medication can increase a person's appetite, which may result in weight gain. Talk to your doctor about different healthy choices. Most (Not all) of the time this can be maintained by switching meds or finding healthier choices whenever you have those cravings.

"Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food
(Isaiah 55:2)."
“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags (Proverbs 23:20-21).”
"The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father
(Proverbs 28:7)."
(Proverbs 28:7)."
Authors Note: My personal lifestyle includes drinking lots of water, no soda, no fried foods or fast food. I rarely, if ever, eat at Restaurants or other peoples homes. Fruits and vegetables a must! Exercise and staying away from late night heavy snacks. DO NOT SKIP MEALS! If you are currently eating whatever you want, it will catch up with you!! And skinny does not always equal healthy. GOOD LUCK!
