Science Experiment of the Day: The photo on the left? That’s the before.
Personal trainer Drew Manning has spent the past five months intentionally gaining 70 pounds by eating all the stuff you like to eat — frosted cereals, white bread, chips, mac n cheese, frozen dinners, and soda — as part of a personal project he calls ”Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit.”
Drew, who will soon begin the arduous journey back to fitness, hopes his experiment will teach him something about how the fatter half lives.
Asked what he’s learned so far, Drew said the biggest thing was “how intense and how real these food cravings are.” He goes on:
I know I’ll never know exactly what it’s like for every person that’s overweight and I don’t claim to, but at least I understand better than I did before when I never had to struggle with this. I hope to learn a lot more in the second half of my journey, from fat 2 fit.

Super healthy sweet potato pudding recipe! SO delicious and kind of almost tastes like pumpkin pie!:)
Ingredients:
-1 cup peeled sweet potato
-1/4 cup vanilla soy milk/unsweetened vanilla almond milk
-1/2 cup dry oatmeal
-1 tsp vanilla
-1 tsp cinammon
-Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions: Put all ingredients (except walnuts) into a blender and blend until smooth. Put the sweet potato pudding in the fridge for a more thick pudding, or warm it up for a warm pie-like pudding. (I love it warm!) Then sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for some crunch:) Yum!
**Makes one large serving for appx. 250 calories.
OR, skip the oatmeal and save about 100 of those calories…
Gonna try this

I post this everyday because I think it’s so important to remember to live in the NOW!
Let’s forget the past on move on to the future!
