This experiment was similar to the one that Fitness Professional Drew Manninig did in 2011. Manning did what I did for six months so he could relate to his overweight clients better. While I respect what Manning did, I kept my experiment to sixty days for the following reasons:
- I was overweight once before (I weighed 239 with a waist size of 38") and I won't go back to looking like that.
- I noticed when some of my clients and co-workers figured out what I was doing it gave them an excuse to "Slip Up" on their diet more often.
- I hated not being a good example for people to follow via health and fitness.
- When I am at my most fit level, I nearly pass out after eating foods like cupcakes. To go longer than two months would have affected my work very negatively from being mentally off more often.
- Most people I know in the Upper Midwest really struggle between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve (forty days) or Halloween and New Years Eve (sixty days). Originally I was going to forty days but with all the Halloween candy in stores right after Labor Day I decided to do sixty days (When Halloween candy is on the corner of every shopping aisle it can be tough on people via cravings).
Stay tuned!
