For me it was fundamentally changing the way I eat.
+1 on the eating...
Except, well, for me it was a combination of things: Actually, I only partially changed my diet and partly, using a nutrition app on my IPhone opened my eyes to what I was REALLY putting in my body.
But, perhaps more importantly was I changed my metabolism -- which had been pretty decimated by the statin I'd been taking. First, when I started taking CoQ10 I not only noticed a dramatic increase in strength and energy, but I started losing weight for the first time in 6-8 months. But now that I have not been taking the statin at all, I am seeing my weight drop even more...
And, of course burning between 500-1,500 calories a day 5, 6, 7 days a week doesn't hurt either...
p.s. I keep looking for a skinny guy on a Verve out on the Montour trail -- but haven't seen him yet!
