The Your Level Fitness Podcast 001: Daryl Perry
I tried pretty much every popular diet between 1996 (I was a teenager) & 2012. I got sick of following rigid programs and started building my own active lifestyle by taking the components I liked from what I had tried, along with other things centered around my preferences.
What I do and why I do it.
I spent the better part of 15 years dieting. Weight loss was almost always on my mind. If I wasn’t analyzing every detail of my last meal, I was thinking about my next one. If the scale went up, I thought I should have eaten less and worked out more. If the scale went down, I usually questioned why it wasn’t lower. The entire time thinking that hitting a certain goal weight would make me happy. It never did. I don’t want you going through life this way.
