Well, let's see where do I start ... Welcome! Yes, I think this will be enough.

Hands-on, the idea of ​​this blog is to show a series of recipes and exercises that helped me get fit and lose so far, around 16 kilos and 10% my body fat level in 7 months. Yes, you read that right, 7 months, I don´t know if it seems a lot or few, it seems a reasonable time for me, considering the time that I can spend doing sport, which is limited and because of this I’ve gained around 8 kilos of muscle mass (which weighs more than fat). The goal is to get fit, not to become a professional athlete in 4 months, so I think that the time spent exercising is adequate.

First, some people are able to control what they eat, I know people who get bored while eating, if it wouldn´t be necessary to live, they wouldn´t eat in the whole day. Well I am quite the opposite, I like eating, it´s a pleasure as any other, the problem that if you eat too much, you get fat, that´s the negative side. Another problem I have, I don’t control when I’m eating, I’ll eat everything in the plate until is clean. What is the result of this behavior? That the next thing I want to do is lie on the couch to sleep or sit anywhere because I can´t move ... until I’m hungry and I go back to eat again. It's a vicious circle. I remember ironically, at lunchtime, my grandmother used to point me as an example because I ate everything. Two hours after I was blame for not going with my cousins ​​to play outside and stay at home napping or reading. Well I thing all this comes from family, two sayings I always hear to my mother, "you have to eat little to walk lighter" and "better more than less” (Personal translation from to Spanish sayings “Hay que comer poco para andar ligero” y “mejor que sobre que no que falte”). One of them is what "people say" the other is what we apply at home. Guess which one. Well, now you know a little more about me, and you could understand why I had to make a change in my diet and from having a sedentary lifestyle to a much more active one. Let's talk about the current situation.

I returned to the diet, June 1, 2011. I’m 1.69 m high and at that time I weighed 82.2 kg with a body fat level between 25% and 27%. Today I weight 66.6 kg (nice number, right?), and the level of body fat now ranges between 15% and 17%. Why I wrote that I returned to the diet? Because I began with it in 2007 when I got to weigh nearly 87 kg, I think at some point I reached 90 kg. I lost 20 kilos and then I gained again around 6 kilos and stayed stable for some time. Why so many kilos were gained again suddenly in 2010 and mid-2011? Well, I started for lunch to restaurants and stop following the directions and tricks that I’ll write here.

The diet is not for losing weight. It’s just a very balanced diet, where I can eat everything I want but ina controlled way. Why do I lose weight then? Because the portions are much smaller compared to what I ate before, and because I've gone from doing no exercise at all to practice sport 5 days a week.

As I said welcome to the trip I'm doing to get back as when I was 18 and I used to do athletics.
