Before starting any diet or weight loss program, consult a doctor or your personal physician. I am not an expert, a dietitian, a physical trainer, nor claim to be. This is only a reflection on my personal journey to gain a healthier body and lifestyle. This records my successes, failures, and information I have gathered. So, before you take any of my advice on this site, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE YOU BEGIN A LIFESTYLE CHANGE THAT INCLUDES A CHANGE IN DIET AND/OR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. ALSO, BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS SITE, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO SEE IF IT WILL WORK AND NOT BE A DETRIMENT TO YOUR HEALTH.
