Cold Turkey on Processed Foods

Angela has lost 110 pounds since she changed her lifestyle in January of 2009.

She used to weigh 250 pounds at 5'5''.

She lost the weight by joining a gym and exercising regularly. But she says “You can’t out-exercise a bad diet”. And so she also went cold turkey on Day 1 in terms of throwing out all sweets and processed foods and switching to lean protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Her kids (age 4 and 7) have learned to love sushi.

Check out her weight loss success story and before and after photos here.

The photo here shows a Sushi-Sashimi Combo. 7 pieces of nigiri, 13 pieces of sashimi and a spicy tuna roll.
