He did it! My husband went from drinking a gallon of soda per day, to 100 days without soda and keeping his sugar intake to 30grams or less. The best part about achieving this goal is that he no longer NEEDS sugar to function. Before the challenge he literally could not wake up in the morning or survive through the day without multiple sodas or some kind of sweet to keep him going. He is definitely proud of his physical results and is happy that he can wear clothes without his stomach sticking out. But more than any of those results, he is relieved to be free of his soda/sugar addiction.
To quote him directly "I'm not living to eat anymore."
Before: 200lbs
After: 170lbs
One of the great things about this challenge is that he did not have to eat any crazy meals that taste bad or do an insane amount of exercise. To be honest he really did the bare minimum and still had amazing results. He did minimal exercise and still occasionally ate some of his favorite foods like pizza and chips which happen to be low in sugar. Here is a quick breakdown of what he did to achieve his results.
- Food: Eat whatever you want as long as the total daily intake of sugar accumulates to 30g or less (including fruit)
- Exercise: Interval running twice a week (he also joined a gym and started weight lifting the last 30 days)
- Incorporated Zeta8 supplements into his diet
A special shout out needs to go to Tayce and Josh, our Zeta8 sponsors! None of this would have been possible without their their knowledge, motivation, support, and passion for healthy living! Thank you so much for guiding Ethan down this road. If anyone reading this blog is interested in achieving these same results please let me give you their number! I am so proud of my hunny. It makes me so happy to see his confidence grow and him enjoying life even more now that he feels physically better. I cannot wait for him to feel the difference when he jumps on a snowboard this winter!
Those are some amazing results!

ReplyDeleteWith such a big physical difference, he must be feeling so fit and healthy! Soft drink scares me now. I'm proud of you Ethan for giving "healthy" a go. Plus it's great he's found a diet that works for him (pizza, etc included still).
