But, when he got out in 1995, his body began to change. The pounds started to slowly pile on and he just couldn&#8217;t lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>To combat his weight gain, Avelino tried diet after diet. But, he always seemed to lose 10 pounds \u2014 only to add on 20.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for this 5\u20199\u201d 43-year-old ex-soldier to gain 100 pounds of ugly fat \u2014 and reach 270 pounds. To make matters even worse, his cholesterol was too high, and he was on the brink of developing diabetes.<\/p>\n<h2>What was Avelino doing wrong?<\/h2>\n<p>Yo-yo dieting is one of the biggest enemies of permanent weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>According to Keith Ayoob, M.D., R.D., an associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cIf you go on a very strict diet and gain the weight back quickly, you might lose a lot of muscle and regain a lot of fat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With less muscle mass, your metabolism slows. It becomes harder than ever before to lose weight. And with each diet you try, you just seem to get heavier and heavier.<\/p>\n<h2>To lose weight, you need to eat foods that shift your metabolism into overdrive.<\/h2>\n<p>Avelino traded yo-yo dieting for the healthy, balanced, fat-burning meals offered in RECON&#x2122; \u2014 our exclusive weight loss program for men. And he lost 14.4 pounds in just the first week!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cWhen I realized how much weight I had lost in a week, I felt overwhelmed with joy; it was the best feeling ever! On August 8th, I got dressed to go to a concert and my pants were so loose I had to go buy a smaller size and even go down a notch in my belt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After just 2 months on the RECON&#x2122; program, Avelino was 52.2 pounds lighter. His cholesterol and blood sugar were normal. His sleep was deeper and more restful. And his energy levels were through the roof.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/personaltrainerfood.com\/our-food.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3276\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"AvelinoSide\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/avelinoside.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, everyone is different.
