STEP 1: Establish a plan for a good fitness and diet routine to achieve the wanted visual results.
One of the biggest personal insecurities in the world has to be the body weight and body shape. Both women and men are upset at themselves for being too skinny, or too "curvy", while others are unhappy with the overly masculine, muscular shape of their body... the list goes on. Unfortunately, often, it leads to very unhealthy eating habits and I am, personally, still a victim too. Since the times of me joining military and later Special Forces part of it, I have been always trying to fit in the hyper masculine community. I took testosterone boosters, ate thousands of calories a day and worked out to the point of crashing. …show more content…
However, extreme training taught me one thing: diet is the key to all of the weight problems. If you are trying to gain or lose weight, going to the gym and spending a half an hour a day on the Elliptical will only get you so far, which is the biggest mistake made by so many of the people I talk to about weight loss. Others, still believe , that starving themselves or becoming "bolemic" is the answer to the weight loss.

What that means, is, that ,if you are actively engaging your lower body through exercises, found in Cross fit and traditional Olympic lifting, your body will burn much larger amounts of energy and increase your heart rate, therefore activating and speeding up your metabolism to the new lengths to support this type of physical activity. That is a win for you, because a low carbohydrate diet will not be sufficient to replenish these systems, engaging your body to burn the unwanted fat on your body. Pretty simple concept,
