I started when I was 18 years old... with regards to my diet, I have not cheated or deviated from it a single time in two years now. Not a single bite, nothing. It's beyond me how I was able to throw these foods out of my life so easily.
I consume NOTHING containing red meat, white flour, simple/refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, dairy, chemical taste enhancers(msg, preservatives, etc). I do eat eggs and fish though.
I stick to fruits and vegetables, never anything processed. Avocado's, whole grains( rawoats, spelt bread) tomatoes, legumes, broccoli, plenty of olive oil, eggs, raw wheat germ, flax, raw nuts fish, etc etc etc. I like to keep a tight ship with regards to my blood sugar.
I have a juicer as well, I should really be using it more too! haha
I stay away from toxic personal care products as well
Intense cardio 5 days a week for 45 minutes, intense weight training throughout the week as well.
As far as supplements..
