Here it goes!

So I have started constructing my first diet plan.  Along with all the knowledge I have learned in the past year from, personal trainers, fitness friends, Tosca Reno, Oxygen Magazine, my schooling, and my dad I am pretty excited at how its turning out.  At first I was skeptical but since this has become such a big part of my life and is something enjoy I figured to give it a go.  Keep in mind I don't believe in crazy crash diets, diet pills, and the new HCG diet.  They are only fast temporary fixes.  My diet is designed to maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight.  In the longrun losing weight at an average of 3-4 pounds a week will be easier to keep off and maintain rather than losing anywhere from 5-10 pounds a week.  Losing that much weight is not healthy and can cause long term health problems.  Diabetes runs in my family on both sides so I have always kept on top of my testing and diet to make sure I don't develop it.  Once I got to highschool I noticed that if I didn't eat breakfast first thing my blood sugar levels would drop and I would get sick.  Since I changed my eating habits I have been able to keep my blood sugar levels at a normal reading.  Still every know and again I let my crazy lifestyle mess up my diet and my blood sugar drops but you got to stay on top of it.
