#111 - In this week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I discuss my weight loss journey. If losing a few pounds is on your bucket list, get ready to kick that goal into action today!There are two stories here. The first began four years ago as a radical experiment with a new diet. The second began months earlier with a dog, a documentary, and a decision.Now, I have always thought of myself as a healthy guy. I was active in sports for years and my weight was never an issue. In fact, I actively tried to gain weight in high school. Thanks to an all-you-can-eat cafeteria in college (and one too many keg parties) I gained 30 pounds in my first semester.You read that right. I put on 30 pounds in just 3 short months. Fast forward to a few years after college and I still had those hefty beer calories following me around. I tried to justify the weight as “hidden muscle” but I wasn't fooling anyone but myself.When I lost 40 pounds a few years ago, I did so with simple choices. No pills — no frills — just good food and some quality time in the bathroom (more on that in a second).
