Read on Twitter
1/ This is going to be a strange Tweetstorm but I now feel compelled to say something very odd. I am healthy and in great shape. I lost a lot of weight, over a 15 month period, and very sensibly. I keep getting emails "worried about my health." I'm doing great. Better than great
2/ If I never put on weight in the first place nobody would be concerned. I'm not "under weight" I'm just no longer "over weight." I didn't do any fad diet to lose weight. I eat pizza, ice cream, pasta & bagels. Promise. I drink an occasional beer. I just do it all in moderation
3/ Weight loss in my view is 80% what you eat and 20% how your exercise. I got control over both. I stopped eating big portions and I monitor what I eat and the weight came off naturally, slowly, over time. But I never lost focus. You manage what you measure. I measure.
4/ I also improved my exercise. Yes, Peloton. But also running, swimming, hiking, walking. All. I started slowly and now 90 minute sessions are no problem. When I started I just walked. I built slowly, didn't injure myself. Voila.
5/ I'm human like you (ok, not you, Twitter bot, but everybody else). I don't like talking about weight or my weight and I don't want to be lecturing anybody. It was a 20-year cycle of get fit then put on weight. A yo-yo of entrepreneurship. But ...
6/ I get a mix of "you look great" to "are you ok? I mean, I'm worried about your health." The latter comments are picking up which is what prompts me to assure you. I'm in the best shape since college. I had eggs & bagel for breakfast, meat & potatoes last night. I'm all good!
7/ I have been promising to write up "how I did it" on my blog and I will. Very soon. I will open source everything. I have a formula and believe it will work for most, maybe not all people. I am happy to help anybody who wants help. It is my true happiness to help others succeed
