I am Rajesh from India(Mumbai), age 36 yrs and weight 220 lb. I am Interior & graphic Designer & working in UAE for past 10 years & life in UAE is more relaxed with plenty of fast food options. Would like to tell you about my story of weight gain.
I just finished my college and was smoking 25 sticks a day till 31st May 1999 for 10 long years and my weight was 72 Kgs and as i was a sports person was having a nice athelitic body with 6 packs. I gave up smoking and slowly started to gain weight which i was not aware till it went 85 Kgs and always thought of diet and exercise but could not control it untill it reached 100 Kgs.
So from 19th of December 2010 i started taking Herbal life products like Herbal Tea, Shake and Tablets & only eating at lunch and fruits for dinner & started regular exercise. I know i have the will power and i am very serious for my weight loss. My target is to reach 75 kgs by 30 June and if i stick to this plan i will definately achieve. I have got the support from my mom and my wife who are also following this diet.

My ULTIMATE GOAL
Slow and steady is the best way to lose weight. Studies have found that people who lose too much weight too quickly often gain it back, and then some. Those who lost weight slowly were more likely to keep it off. A rate of 1 to 2 pounds per week is generally considered ideal and practical; if you exceed that, you may be losing water weight or lean muscle instead of fat.
Cutting too many calories to speed up weight loss may restrict your diet so much that in addition to losing pounds and inches, you also lose important nutrients. That can result in feeling sluggish as a result of a slowing metabolism. A slow metabolism won’t burn calories effectively, making it harder to drop those pounds.
