Kinobody: Has Anyone Done This?

Recently, this banner has been popping up on my screen. It's apparently a form of weight loss program designed to shed body fat and have that great body in a short period of time. Apparently, it's what Hollywood actors use to get that "chiseled" body right before they start to film a movie. Sounds pretty awesome doesn't it? Too good to be true? Hard to tell.

This program revolves around some dude by the name of Greg O'Gallagher. He looks like some cocky bastard you'd like to slap, just because. To start, you take a simple survey to see which of his programs fits the goals you want to achieve. From there, you are match either with:

• The Warrior Physique
• The Greek God Physique
• The Superhero Physique
• The Goddess Toning Program
• Aggressive Fat Loss 2.0

So being the inquisitive person I am, I was matched with the "Aggressive Fat Loss 2.0" Program, like that is a no brainer. So from here, I fork over $66 (not including some discounts that they promise for subscribing to e-mail newsletters) and I am suppose to get a lifetime subscription to a collection of 45 minute work outs to do at the gym (including how to effectively use the weights the gym),  a "Complete" aggressive fat loss manual, and "Complete" diet and nutrition guide. (I still don't understand why businesses use the word "complete". Is it a marketing ploy to get the consumer to think, "WOW! I'm getting the whole program versus half!"?

Anyhow, so of course it's all digital and so I won't be getting anything physical, and I am assuming I can start as soon as it gets delivered into my e-mail inbox, with tons of advertisements for their other products.

One of the highlights is this idea of "Intermittent Fasting." The theory is to not have breakfast. By fasting 4-7 hours after you wake up, growth hormone levels rise, this helps preserve muscle mass and shifts fuel metabolism to fat burning. Then have two super big meals with lots of proteins and few carbs. Each meal should start with 1-2 servings of fruits.

I am very skeptical about this. $66 is not a lot when you compare it to a lot of similar weight loss programs on the market. It does come with a 30 day many back guarantee if you don't like it. 

Has anyone done this? Does it work? Worth it?

Good Lord It's April! Lets Catch Up!

Hi!

Sorry, I haven't had the time to blog in what seems like forever! Thank you to Nikki over at Fat Girl Won't Run for checking up on me!

Ok, so lets catch up!

I continue my relentless journey to regain my health, and I can tell you, it's still up and down for me. I have gone back to that infamous 230 doldrum once again, however I can tell you that I have been needing to buy new clothes and or I have been able to wear clothes that I haven't been able to wear in years. That's good right??? One of the suggestions that I have been getting is since I am losing so much, I should shop at Ross instead of the normal places I usually shop. What do you guys do? It sounds fair to me!! The 230 mark has been an average. I have been obsessed with jumping on the scale every morning (maybe I shouldn't be doing that) and it has been 230 plus or minus a couple of pounds. To mark April 2018 in my Update Pictures section, you can see that I am 231.2. 

I went to see a bariatric doctor and she put me on a Ketogenic Diet. It's been a bit crazy, because it is a complete 360 from the vegan/vegetarian diet I have been on. Meat, meat, meat! I was sick the first couple of days. No carbs, no sugar is a little crazy for me. In my opinion, and I could be wrong, that is what is making my weight inconsistent these past couple of weeks, as my body is starting to get use to this new diet.

It comes at a point when we discovered the "Gardenin" line of meatless products. Now that I have to actually read labels, many of those products, I shouldn't be eating. It's been a little confusing since the doctor said I could continue with those things.

There has been a lot of pros and cons to this "Keto" Diet. I am just putting my faith into the doctor right now. I guess it's good for my brain too, I have to read labels, do math, and make the right decisions on what to eat.

Still getting my regular massages. My therapist has included stretching into the regimen. So I have been feeling really good after the sessions. This week, I will be treated to a hot stone massage. Very stoked for that!

I had a Thai Massage session. That was pretty bad. I think that business is a little sketchy now that I have had some time to decompress from the situation. No certificates hanging on the wall, no asking me where I am in pain. Just 90 minutes of sheer torment and torture. All the ethics of how a massage is suppose to be preformed went out of the window. That was bad, not going back ever!
