RE: Etherpunk v2.0 - Help Me Out

For a while i had REALLY bad problems with acne, and I started to realize i was putting on some weight as well. it got to the point where i was basically staying inside all day not wanting to go out because of it

One of the things that I learned how to do, and its actually a bit insane how easy it was. A friend told me to start drinking a lot of water, i essentially cut out ALL forms of sugar as much as i could...that means, no soda, and no juice, no sweets or any type of pastry

this caused my acne to disappear in a matter of days and my weight got back to where it was before as well. I know a lot of people are to...keen on exercising all the time, so actually just started going for long walks, usually around an hour or two per day, this also managed to keep me healthy because not only was i not eating sugary foods but i was also speed walking which helped with my cardio a bit

I grew up in NYC where you were able to get triple cheeseburgers for a dollar on certain promotion days, SO, that was all that i ate for a long time, it was either mcdonalds or i would get free stuff from starbucks after they closed from friends who worked there

I started to incorporate vegetables into my diet and even made sure that i was having tons of lean protein....fish, salmon, chicken breast, etc, and it worked like a charm

what REALLY works, and what ive stuck with the most is carrying around a banana and an apple and a bottle of water with me wherever i go, we all have those moments where we get REALLY hungry outside, and the banana and apple provide the "sugar" that my body wants, while also letting me know that im not just eating some trash from a near by store, usually when we get thirst we reach for a soda or juice, but with the bottle of water in my bag, i have no excuse not to drink my recommended amount each day

I wish you the best and I hope you reach your goals!

Fortunately i dont have any acne probs despite not using any face soap and stuff. I read this happens to some due to lack of sleep? Carbs and sugar are definitely a staple where I'm from and it's not that easy to get out of unless I prepare on my own. I eat plenty of veggies too, but I guess my metabolism is just plain lower than average which sucks so I do easily gain some pounds just by sitting more often. Thanks for writing in, gonna consider just eating more unprocessed food then :)
