Getting mad from getting fat:
How I decided to lose weight and reshape my body
How I changed my eating habits and my way of working out
Note: For my workout description and principles and my experience with DXN Vinaigrette Ganoderma medicinal mushroom extract rice vinegar, please read my YouTube video description. I do not dare to plagirize an duplicate even my own content, as I want Google to be the good friend of mine as it is right now. :)
Ganoderma rice vinegar is very strong, check out my face in this video when I find it out, LOL:
From small 6-pack beer-cans to a big 1-pack beer-barrel? No way!
Having big muscles and big belly at the same time isn't esthetic for me. Sorry, Homer! :)

Age is nothing but a number...just like kilograms...D'oh!
I have been over 21 for a while – exactly 20
years, LOL – so I slowly, but steadily had to accept the fact of not being able
to eat like a pig without any visible disgusting side effects: growing flabs on
my formerly cube-like abs. In Hungarian we say cube-belly, which is the same as
a six-pack in English. I did not want to let the situation degenerate to a
point when instead of 6 hard little cubes of muscle there would be one soft
cube of lard on my belly, so I have always been training throughout my life.
You would not want to exchange your 6-pack small-beer-can abdominal muscles you
worked so hard for for a 1-pack of beer-barrel belly fat, right?

| Is belly fat good agains shark-attacks? Well, it works for Homer Simpson for sure, ha-ha! |
Unfortunately, I had to learn the
hard way that no matter how much – or, how little – I trained, I could totally
demolish the results in days, or, in the worst case, not even let any results
be visible at all. I also started to grow a bigger belly from the larger amount
of food I consumed, which is unacceptable for the norm I have in mind of a
good-looking male body.
Say good-bye to bad habits to be able to say good-bye to fat
Whether I like it or not, I had
to find peace in not engaging in some guilty habits of mine anymore. These
include sever overfeeding on chocolate, ice cream, waffels and cookies – many
times waking up at night to indulge in sugar-coma. I could eat about 3 bars of
chocolate a day when I was in my late teens and early 20’s, but not any more.
Maybe those ’golden years’ of enjoying a lot of sweets paved the way to put on
weight easily and lose it hard after becoming 30 years old.

Bad habit number 1. : Getting up at night to eat sweets
I promised myself about 3 times
during years not to go out to the kitchen and eat – at least not sweets – when
I wake up at night, but, after even a long while I became a sinner again. The
thing with chocolate is, that when I do not eat it for a while, I do not even
miss it, not to speak of its negative effect on my weight. But I know myself
good enough to know that if I restrict myself in a very ascetic way, I will
start to rebel sooner or later, so I left a small door open: I substitute
chocolate and all its companions with DXN Cocozhi, and even
allow myself to drink a mug of it before going to sleep. It is better than
waking up to drink it, right? Speaking of Cocozhi, it is a healthy cocoa
enriched with Lingzhi mushroom extract, but it still contains sugar, and even
though it is cane sugar, it is still sugar, so I have to be careful with it
too. But it is still a better option to drink it late at night when I still sit
in front of my PC than to get up at 2 A.M. and eat a whole bar – 100 gramms –
of chocolate!

How to prevent getting up to eat?
It is even better not to have
sweets around at all. Okay, I recently got up to eat bananas (and popcorn, but
on a different day – do not do this!), but it is still better than the
sugar-bombs, you bet!
 |
| Hmmm...donuts...:) Sure, I also love watching movies while eating. I pay attention not to eat as much sweets, especially in the evening. |
Rather have a late dinner than wake up to eat
I think it is better to have a
very late dinner that satisfies my craving and hunger than going to sleep on an
empty stomach just to be tempted to get up and pull the fridge on myself. Sure,
not healthy, but still better. I am not the one who could, or rather, would
want to restrict myself not to eat after 6 P.M. What if I am hungry? I would be
very irritable not being able to eat just because someone says it is not
healthy after 6 P.M. Sure, if you don’t eat, you don’t have to worry about
putting on weight, but please try it with my agenda of daily
3 dogwalks on a mountain bike, the last one taking place after 10
P.M.! Unfortunately my body is pretty messed up from this all-year(s)-round
daily routine. Nowadays I gotta get a few hours of sleep after before 10 P.M.,
having to wake up to my freaking cellphone alarm, going to the kitchen to make
a DXN Zhi Mocha to be
able to literallly walk on my feet. I put the leashes and muzzles on my dogs and
head out to the dark night, with all senses clear, because it is a huge responsibility
to walk 3 dogs in a neighbourhood that has many unbehaved canines with mostly
good-willed, but non-packleader-type dog-parents (I hate the word: dog-owner).
No mistakes allowed, man!

Bad habit number 2. : Forgetting to drink enough water.
Hydrate: start the morning with drinkint water (especially with DXN coffee in it)
After 2 days of drinking about a
liter of water after getting up – not forgetting my healthy coffee, of course –
I sensed that my belly size dropped a bit (I train too, but this is not the
point now) and I felt better. Headaches can also be avoided with frequent water
drinking. I know it has been all sad before everywhere, but drinking a lot of
water is good for too. I avoid drinking that much at a time to press out my
guts. I sure as hell don’t wanna look like Homer Simpson, even though (D’oh!) I
love that guy, he is funny. :)

How not to forget to drink water?
Put a waterbottle near you all the time
It is also very easy for me to
forget to drink water (not Ganoderma
coffee, I never forget that) at work, so having a bottle of water
in my eyesight helps to keep this in check too.
Bad habit number 3. : Starting the day on an empty stomach
Do not omit breakfast!
Have something to eat in an hour
after getting up. I am really not the type who can have breakfast early, even
though I had strong urges to get up early at dawn to eat. (Yeah, using past
tense here is intentional: I write down what I wanna achieve and I am on a good
road to getting there.)
I am recently reading The
Four-hour body by Tim Ferris, and I really love and adopt some of his ideas. He
says that with an early breakfast - especially a high protein one which I
achieve with DXN
Spirulina – the chance of pushing out the last meal of the day to a
late point at night gets lower. In other words: the proportion of meals is
better distributed throughout the day. He also writes about many other benefits
with food absorption and many, often scientific facts, that also can be omitted
for those who are only interested in the practical advices, but I am not
getting too much in depth with the book’s ’Geeks Advantage’ sections, which are
also great, having read into them.
Spirulina is tiny and one of the most nutritious healthfoods, Let me show it to you in this video:
Not omitting breakfast also gives
you energy, and, speaking for myself, more patience for my dogs, for driving
and, the worst of all: teaching kids at school, LOL!
If you can really hardly push any
food down your throat so early, I suggest Spirulina, as it is very small and a
it is Mother Nature’s alkaline superfood: a nutrient-bomb.
I prefer doing sports very early
in the morning and I like to do it on an empty stomach, because I feel
discomfort moving if I have any food in my belly, but just some small dose of
the right food will not hurt.
I do not want to enter into any
more details about nutrition here, because I am not an expert in the topic. I
just wanted to share some of my experiences. The book that changed my way of
eating and thinking was from Eric Marcus: Vegan: the New Ethics of Eating. I
even wrote my university thesis based on Eric’s work.
Wanna look tough? Then don't just look tough, get in shape, man! :D
