I have understood the meaning living a healthy life now. I am gonna stick to this till my lifetime.In order to start achieving my dream, I need to concentrate on two things - workout and Diet. Its scientifically proven that Intermittent Fasting with Ketogenic Diet reduces fat from the body more faster and also helps build strong muscles.I have been following the various foods we can eat on a ketogenic diet.Presently I am living in College hostel, making it really difficult to adhere to this diet.But once I am home for a vacation I can achieve it. Next comes the workout. I already know the workout regime in gym as I used to do weight training a few years back. But now I have decided to push myself harder.If needed I might hire a trainer, to help me achieve my goal.

The best example would be the recent changes I made in my lifestyle to lead a Happy life. I had been living a sedentary lifestyle.
