Mary gets her low carbohydrates in by eating a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner mixed in with protein shakes. Mary also drinks a gallon of water a day to keep her system flushed out. The rest of her diet consists of meats, cheeses, greens and healthy fats while maintaining the carbohydrate levels at a minimum. Avoidance of highly processed and refined foods is advised. Mary J. credits this diet in helping her lose more than 40 pounds

Mary J’s Exercise

Mary lifts weights 3 times a week focusing on her arms, legs and glutes. She does a lot of squats and bench presses. She also does a serious Cardio workout on a different day or sometimes the same days running 4 miles. Currently, she is trying to incorporate Core Secrets to her routine by the recommendation of her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson. This workout involves full body and body-part specific exercises concentrating on strengthening the core and toning the body.

“I’m still a work in progress.” She says. “I don’t love exercise and dieting but I appreciate what it does for me. All the stuff you hate to do just pushes you further.”
