Last year at my annual physical exam, the doctors told me I was overweight and my cholesterol was slightly above normal. So, on December 27th, I decided to start a wellness program and contracted Crystal (also bilingual) to help me improve my overall health and appearance.

The plan she advocated needed to be holistic if I wanted to lose body fat, strengthen my muscles and skeletal system, which inevitably would make me feel stronger, more energetic and appear much younger. We developed an eating plan because as she told me it is senseles to exercise and at the same time put poor quality food and drink into my body.

She also told me that dieting (reducing my food intake) and not exercising at all would lower my metabolism which would cause my body to go into "starvation mode" and would naturally store fat, thus repeating the yo-yo cycle all over again. In actuality, eating poorly and exercising may be worse for me than not exercising at all.

Within four months, Crystal helped me start a program of eating well, doing cardio exercises five times a week and integrating weight/resistance training.
