Living my best life in Indianapolis, IN. I am a middle school science teacher who enjoys time outside and being active.

I don't "diet". I eat real food and focus on lean protein (~1g/lean body weight). I eat grass-fed/organic meat, wild-caught fish, seafood, pasture-raised eggs, plain greek yogurt, some GF whole grains, organic fruit and veggies. I hydrate with Na, Mg and K, lift weights x3/wk, daily walk/ruck, run x2-3/wk, yoga x3/week, daily sunlight, and get plenty of sleep/rest. Limit refined carbs/sugar and avoid all seed oils. This has been my path to success!

Beyond Body Weight
The things we measure are the things we improve. It is also something we all practice when we measure our body weight as a way to track our level of fitness. While body weight by itself does have some value, too often many are willing to embrace unhealthy practices to reduce body weight. Fad diets, over training, unnecessary surgery, appetite suppressant pills and more all with the goal of just lowering body weight. Over the last two years, with help from my functional medicine doctor, I have been working to improve total body composition vs just losing weight. I have gained 6.4 lbs of skeletal muscle while losing 6 lbs of body fat. If I only looked at my overall weight, it would be easy to be disappointed going from 197 lbs to 199 lbs.

Here are some of the practices that made this possible:
* Eat real food we make at home
* Prioritize protein (~1g per lb of lean body mass)
* Resistance training (3 x per week)
* Walking (everyday)
* Avoid processed foods and seed oils (even if marketed as healthy)
* Consistency and patience
