It is day one of my diet and my first blog ever. I am ready to begin the new lifestyle of eating, that the Zone Diet offers. My weight has fluctuated throughout my life; as well as my hairstyle. I guess I am like most Americans out there in that respect. I tend to pack on a couple pounds, realize it and then take measures to lose it. This vicious cycle has repeated for as long as I can remember. Strenuous exercise has always been the answer to my problem until now. After graduating college, I have found that the “real world” does not offer the luxury of an all inclusive workout facility that is free, but instead comes with a price tag and no time since my career seems to be so demanding.

Wait…I am jumping ahead and already standing on my soap box. Let me give you a frame of reference of my self and where I stand health wise and we can move on and so forth. I am a male of 25 years of age. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall and I weigh in at 209 pounds. According to my BMI, the free calculation that the Zone Diet provides, I am teetering on the edge of being overweight. Looking in the mirror, I can’t help but agree. The mirror can be misleading, but in my case I have decided to accept the truth…..

I will finish my story later, but I don’t want to get off the subject of my new diet. Each blog will most likely include more of my story and then how my lifestyle is progressing. The general description of the diet is what made me decide to use this tool as my secret weapon to defeat weight gain for the rest of my life. Eat Smart. Eat Healthy. Know What to Eat. Find Balance and Energy. Manage My Insulin? The last one through me for a loop, but hey it sounds like it just might work
