At one time, I was very fat.
Now I weigh 228 lbs, 15% bodyfat, 6 ft 2 inches. I deadlift 375 lbs and incline bench about 255. My waist is 35, and my chest is much, much more.
I get up at 4:30 am, and lift weights. Then I do 90 minutes of cardio interval training. I do that 6 times per week.
My main foods are oatmeal, nuts, chicken breast, protein powder, and a few other things.
I have not drunk juice or soda in....5 years. I also do not own a television.
I do not know even one normally thin person who is up at 4:30 in the morning lifting weights followed by another 90 minutes of cardio. That's at least 2 hours of your life **everyday** fighting fat. Huh?
Normally thin people are not doing that.
