Putting It All Together

Under the advisement of my Dr and Wellness professionals I took on components of a Paleo / Mediterranean Diet along with Allergy Elimination Diet and combined it with components of the “Jewish" tradition of Passover I dubbed the “Passover Diet” with elements of Healthy Eating principles I've learned through years of Martial Arts and Personal Coaching / Sports Medicine. I successfully lost over 40 lbs simply by changing my diet. Due to asthma and other health issues I wasn't able to couple it with exercise like I would have preferred. Any diet is best when coupled with a program of fitness at minimum of 3 days a week at 30 minutes up to 50 days a week at 60 minutes. Changing your shopping, eating out and home meal prep habits can change your metabolic intake.
