People see me and tell me that I look the way I do because I have great genetics. Or that I probably always looked like this. Yea, right! Those of you who know me are aware what the old me looked like Jennifer before/after There was only 6 months between those pictures. How did I do it?

Diet: When I was heavy I was eating a very low calorie diet (less than 1,000) that consisted of mainly carbohydrates. I increased my calories a little and shifted my protein and fat higher while reducing substantially my carb intake. If I want to cut fat I know now I need a minimum of 30-40% protein in my diet. And it;s fun because I am not running away from foods with fat in them. Too many carbohydrates is the real enemy.

Training: When I was heavy I was very active and played quite a lot of golf. When I found fitness I began to run on a treadmill and I started to use the cross trainer 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes. After a month, the weights started intriguing me and I began to workout 4 times a week using body part splits and 10-12 reps per set.

Supplements: When I was heavy I took nothing. What an error. I saw the value of supplements almost immediately. To lose the weight I took a very simple approach. 5 grams of GABA before bed and 1,000 mcgs. of Chromium Picolinate. Today, I take 2 grams of GABA nightly, 600 mcgs. of Chromium, 3-5 grams of glutamine, 1 Salon Formula from In Shape as well as 40 grams of Predator Triple Protein from NVE daily.
