In a recent AARP magazine (yup I get it every month), there was an article on Art Smith. I had heard of him before as I watch a lot of cooking shows, but wasn't too familiar with him.
Last February he weighed 330 lbs and had type 2 diabetes. He took responsibility for that saying-"Who could I blame? The food I'm know for is Southern comfort food. I already knew how to lose weight. I'd lost 100 lbs. 10 years ago, but I hadn't kept it all off."
Art was lucky, he had a friend who was a trainer quarantine with him and his family. Not only didn't he gain the Corona 15, but he also lost 80 lbs! How'd he do it?
In his words ... "I don't have a diet; I'm just specific about what I eat. Tons of fruits and vegetables. I take temptation out of the kitchen and substitute lighter ingredients when I can. And exercise is crucial. You can't take health shortcuts, especially as you age."
There is SO much we cannot control right now. Our world is insane right now with fires all around us in CA, the presidential election coming up, and so much more.
We CAN control how we treat our bodies. This is something we can all do every day. Eat more veggies. Drink more water, get up and walk more, take temptation out of your kitchen and do some push-ups while you are there!
