I just renewed my license recently and here are the photos from my old license issued in 2008 and the new one issued this month.... I think I actually look 5 years younger than my 4 year old photo!
Its all about the fat.... Fat makes you look older... the leaner you are the younger you look!
How to successfully fast to lose weight ( fat ) - II
Thursday, February 9, 2012 Posted by harshathelete 0 comments
In my last post I talked about the 3 rules to keep in mind when you want to burn fat/ lose weight by fasting..
1. Exercise is NOT the best way to create a calorie deficit.
2. Fasting is a great way ( but not the only way and nor is it magical in any way ) to burn fat.
3. Hunger is not an emergency.
The first time I leaned down to 157 lbs, I did it the hard way, ignoring these rules...I did it the brute force way like most people do.
I exercised like I was preparing for Olympics ( running 25-30 miles a week, eating 5 meals a day..brutal workouts, counting calories ..the whole 9 yards.. )
After I came back from my vacation in India in Dec 2010 I had gone back up to 165 lbs.
But by then I had discovered the fasting and with a lot more knowledge from reading and listening to great fitness folks, I discovered the 3 rules stated above.
With those rules in mind, here is how I started over and leaned down without much effort in my second attempt.
I immediately cut down on obsessive exercising, calorie counting and any other behavior that I deemed unhealthy and unsustainable in the long run.

How to successfully fast to lose weight ( fat )..

Over the last few months I have had several co-workers, family and friends ask me about how to use fasting to lose weight. On my vacation to India in December, not a day went by without the topic of weight loss coming up one way or the other...
So I decided to post my experiences about fasting...There are two ways to do it..the easy way and the hard way...and most of the people who tried fasting did the latter and of course crashed and burned....
First of all let me make one thing clear...fasting is not a magic pill...it does not somehow magically create MORE fat loss than any other weight loss method...
Primarily all weight loss comes from creating a daily/weekly/overall calorie deficit. How you create that deficit depends on a) who you are listening to b) what works for you...
