Jack Greystoke was over 700 pounds and was never happy with how he felt about himself. His friends were kind to him but they knew that his health was going down the drain with every hamburger he shoved down his throat. There was a point where he just had to say to himself "I control my own destiny" and that is exactly what he did.
More recently, exercise programs like Zumba and Crossfit have caught the world by storm. They are a series of intense workouts made fun. In the same way, diet plans work the same way. One second everyone is drinking a slim fast on the way to work, the next they're talking about Atkinson's.
The next thing he did was nutrition. He made sure that everything that he stuck in his mouth was enriching with nutrients and would be something that he would use in the day. With this changed mindset he took a whole new view on getting things done.
Slowly but surely his weight started to go and the muscle started to replace it and where there was sadness and laziness, Jack found a new-found energy and love for life. He found that he was able to sleep a lot better and that he was able to take on new sports that he couldn't do before.
Another amazing thing that Jack found out after losing over 550 pounds, was that he was able to do hard things no matter what the opposition. He was positive and uplifting with others around him and he knew that he could be a source strength and stability for others. It was the memory of how hard things were before.
He also noticed that because he changed his overall life style he was able to make it much more sustainable. There are many that may choose to get weight loss surgery in Utah, but Jack didn't have the money for it and he had something to prove to himself in the end.
We can all see how weight loss benefitted Jack. Not only did he get more rest and strength, but his energy sored to new levels. There are many times in our lives that we may look back and say, "that was really hard", but in the end the benefits can far outweigh the efforts. Here are some hidden benefits that Jack found along the way.
On the diet side, a balanced diet will provide two important things for you. One, the diet will give you the right number of nutrients to repair itself after exercise, energize it during exercise, and work at its best day-in and day-out.
Ultimately he was able to smile a lot more as he found moving much easier. He could fit in seats where he used to have problems. People treated him the same as everyone else. This was what he was working for the whole time and it was well worth it. He would have done weight loss surgery in Utah if he had to, but he really had been able to take his body to that sustainable level he wanted it to be at.
