Quality Eating Story

As a college athlete, I was in excellent health. I had been active in sports throughout my childhood and teen years and rarely faced any significant health issues. The most I’d ever experienced was the occasional mild cough in the winter.

 

During college, I was in a relationship with the woman I expected to marry. We were thrilled to find out we were pregnant with a beautiful baby girl. We planned to get married a year or two after graduation.

 

However, our relationship ended unexpectedly, and we struggled to understand why. A year later, I started my first job. I often ate lunch outside, and sometimes, I’d grab dinner from a local fast food place. My breakfast was usually just a bagel and coffee.

 

A close friend mentioned that I seemed to be showing signs of depression. At first, I didn’t believe it because I felt fine, but I had gained 40 pounds in the last year. My friend, a psychologist, explained that my depression was likely linked to my eating habits and the emotional impact of my breakup.

​

During the week, I ate junk food or fast food about eight times, and on weekends, I’d eat both meals out. To make things worse, I stopped doing any physical activity.

 

Before the breakup, my ex and I had been very active together, constantly engaging in sports and going to the gym. But after we parted ways, I stopped working out— not because I consciously wanted to, but because I just didn’t anymore. My friend explained that my lack of exercise was subconsciously connected to avoiding the pain of the breakup.

 

As a result, I started to experience constant joint pain, chronic fatigue, and insomnia due to my weight gain. My friend recommended I find a sports group to join and slowly ease back into the gym, ideally with a friend for support. Within three months, I was back into a regular exercise routine.

​

Cutting out junk food was the hardest part, as it had become a deeply ingrained habit. Vegetables were also a challenge for me. While I’d eat things like spinach or broccoli when ordering a sandwich or dish from a restaurant, I never bothered chopping vegetables at home— the most I’d do was slice some tomato and onion. I knew vegetables were crucial for my health, so I needed an alternative to get the nutrients I was missing.

​

I eventually discovered "Veggie Power," a vegetable-based supplement that offers the equivalent of one large salad in a single dose. It also contains natural ingredients that help protect your DNA and boost your immune system. After using it, I noticed improvements almost immediately— I felt more focused at work, had more energy, and slept better.

​

Now, I only eat out once a week and have reduced my junk food consumption by 90%, meaning I eat it just 1 or 2 times a month. I now bring lunch to work and take dinner home. I also take "Veggie Power" three times a day— before breakfast, lunch, and dinner— and I make sure to take it one hour before eating.

​

After eight months, I lost 34 pounds, and I felt great again. I’m now playing in my local sports league and going to the gym regularly, just like I used to. I even found a new girlfriend, and yes, she’s also a gym enthusiast, so we work out together.

 

My advice to you is this: If you notice drastic changes in your life or behavior, take the time to assess yourself. Listen to your body and seek help when needed. Here’s to a happy and healthy life!
