re: How did you get started being healthy?

Cut out 3 things from your diet to start:

1. Sugar - Sugar in all forms. No more soda. Check the label on things that you eat.

2. Seed Oils - So many processed foods that you eat are full of toxic seed oils that are catastrophic for your health.

3. Wheat - If you stop eating wheat and it is likely that you will stop bloating so much. It is very easy to overeat when eating wheat in my opinion.

I would start with just changing your diet first before diving in to a rigorous workout routine. Eat nothing but plants, fruit and meat (avoid everything processed) and you will start dropping pounds immediately.

Thyroid Hormone

A molecule inextricably related to cellular CO2 production is thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine, T3). T3 is required to produce, among other things, the sex steroids [27]and vitamin A from beta-carotene[28]. Metabolic rate and T3 levels are nearly synonymous, and exert long-term control of heart rate [29]and heat production [30]. During metabolic dysregulation, or acute stress, epinephrine and norepinephrine become more involved in heart rate[31]and body temperature[32], in a similar phenomenon to energy substrate mobilization during stress described above. Despite the name of the thyroid gland, most of the body’s T3 is produced in the liver by converting the prohormone tyrosine to T3. This production is dependent on liver glucose and glycogen[33]and enhanced through an insulin-suppressive action on paraventricular neuropeptide y secretion [34]. Additionally, hypoglycemia-induced glucocorticoids oppose T3 production[35].Clinically, a calorie restricted, low carb diet causes a similar depression of T3 as starvation, which is not seen in calorie restricted carbohydrate feeding [36]. Thus a low carbohydrate diet appears to be aT3 suppressive diet
