Fitness and Nutrition Goals
Background
As a child I would always place myself in the overweight category. I generally found it very difficult to eat real food I would always find myself snacking away on junk food when I was hungry. I recognized I had a problem with my weight at the age of 16. At the age of 14 I was actively participating in sporting activities and played rugby league for several years. It was my years of playing league that made me distinguish that maybe I was doing something wrong; that is the reason I gained weight gradually in comparison to my other team mates.
Overtime I made the decision to make changes in my eating habits by limiting junk food to once a day and making several small changes such as replacing acidic drinks and juices for water with meals. I definitely started noticing changes in my figure as well as fitness, however I was not pleased with the slow progress. Over time, I became to recognize that I may have been born with poor genetics as I assessed my father and brothers figure. Our ability to burn fat is disadvantaged to some others. I definitely would categorize my body type to be between and endomorph and a mesomorph.
After a few medical checks I was pleased to hear that I do not have any allergies so I am free to eat all kinds of food. My Only restrictions are that I am of Islamic faith so any meat coming from a pig is forbidden in my religion. The fact that I have no allergies has allowed me to keep an overall healthy and balanced lifestyle. I maintain a balanced diet and enjoy food like nuts, dairy, meats etc. My current goal is to attain a lean muscular figure. I actively go to the gym 6 days a week and find lifting weights a therapeutic activity as it relieves me from certain stresses in day-to-day life. I am pleased that I had a solid foundation to begin with and found it rather easy to put on muscle with the genetics I was presented with. It now is my aim to continue eating low-carb meals that will aid me in becoming leaner in due
