How I lost weight

How I Lost Weight
Hi my name is Ruben, I am 35,I have a house in Thailand and have been living there off and on for the last two 1/2 years. I have found it to be a very soul cleansing experience, beside the beautiful scenery and gorgeous women, it is a relaxing, no stress enviornment. I am going to tell you how I went there a stressed, weight gaining mess and came home a different person.
When I went to Thailand I had just broken up with my girlfriend that I had been driving a semi with for two years+. I smoked , at times, like a chimney and although I tried to eat well, I never seemed to be able to get to the weight I wanted unless I did a drastic diet change that consisted of only eating low fat popcorn and drank nothing but juices, which included a prune cleansing. It worked very fast and I would drop the pounds incredibly fast that way, but as you can imagine that isn't the kind of diet a normal person can keep up with very long, so the weight would go right back on after a week to a week and a half after I would end the diet. Then it had happened my girlfriend and I had broken up and I decided to drive local in Los Angeles. We had a weight room and what not so I would hit the weights and the treadmill everyday. I toned up really nice but still couldn't shed the pound I wanted to around my mid section unless I went on that ridiculous diet again. So i just kept on the weights and treadmill and tried to buff up a bit.
When I went to Thailand that year I met my future wife the first day I was there at th airport in Bangkok, she was gorgeous,young and a GREAT cook. She could eat five or six meals a day and not gain a pound. Of course I was curious to how she could do it, she simply said "My food won't make me fat.". So I started eating Thai food and it was amazingly delicious and right away I could see how she could eat 5 or 6 times a day, It was fantastic! When we were married I stayed in Thailand for 4 months an after the first month I noticed changes right away,I WAS LOSING WEIGHT AND EATING AS MUCH AS I WANTED! I would jog on occasion and the heat in Thailand makes most foreigners sweat even at night and I new that was helping. Well I was about 184 when I went thare and when I left I was down to 167 pounds, my goal. It was great!
Well I had to go back home to the states and go bakc to work. Of course I stopped eating the food and started gaining weight again but not as much becuase I had changeds my diet to rice dishes and lots of water and juices wich was great becuase I enjoyed what I was eating. I stayed at 175 and didn't ever gain more than that until after about 6 months (of wich I had gone back to see my wife a few times). The months before I went back to Thailand I had stopped my rice dishes,juice and water diet for my american fast foods. I went up to 184 again!
I went back to Thailand to see my daughter being born and to bring them both bak to the states. I'm happy to say that in 4 months I went back down to 170 pounds, I also did like 25 crunches every night and 25 push ups every night to keep my upper body toned. It worked by the time I brought my wife and daughter to the states I was getting compliments from my family saying how much better I looked.
Now that we are back to the states I am at about 172(hey 4 months without fast food?) and my wife is cooking great Thai type(its hard to find the exact same ingrediants but we get really close and it tastes wonderfull) meals for us. I have stopped the exercises temporarily becuase of jet lag and lack of time but will start up gain this wekk I believe. And I am positive I will be back to 167!
In conclusion I think an asian food diet would be great for anyone who loves great food and is struggling to keep their weight off. I am not a doctor or a fitness expert and make no guarantees or claim it will work for anyone at that but this is what has worked for me and I thought I would like to share it. Good Luuck to you all and God Bless I will post updates to this to tell you my progress or any other findings. I hope How I lost Weight helps you in your own quest to lose weight and look your best.

To your Weight Loss Success!
