David Smith, Now and Then

"When I was in my darkest place, I thought the world was so evil. But now, seeing that there is good in the world ... I'm gonna do my best to make this world bearable for everyone," Smith said.

Smith is seen here at a family function as a teenager. He dropped out of high school when he was 17. He says he couldn't take the emotional abuse from other kids and retreated into his parents house. "I've had like sticks and stones and dog feces … thrown at me and [I've been] spit on … that makes you feel, you know, not human at all." (Courtesy David Smith)








In July 2003, at the age of 26, David Smith met trainer Chris Powell for the first time. This handshake was the beginning of Smith's transformation -- Powell started him on a workout plan and a schedule that included healthy eating days followed by cheat days. (Courtesy David Smith)

Exercise is a mood booster

The wonderful thing about exercise is that is has countless benefits! The ones you often hear about are related to your physical well-being — it helps prevent chronic diseases like osteoporosis and certain types of cancer, improves heart and lung function, and is a key element in controlling and maintaining a healthy weight. But you should also relish the emotional benefits of exercise!

No matter your age or sex, exercise is a mood booster! Even moderate levels of aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, can raise the endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine in your brain (your body's feel-good chemicals). Working out regularly can also enhance creativity, reduce anxiety, and help combat depression. And meditative exercises like yoga are an especially powerful stress reliever!

Ten tips to reduce body weight

There is a simple equation that lies behind every successful weight loss: if you burn more calories then you take in, the weight will come off. To do this, you need effective tips that are easy to follow and implement.
Here are ten tips to reduce body weight:

1. There is one crucial reason why most diets fail – they’re not designed so that you can stick to them long-term. Nearly all diets fail to reprogram you to think and eat automatically.

2. Skipping meals is not recommended for people trying to lose weight. In this case, your body goes into a fat-storing, starvation mode. To help you stay full, eat a handful of nuts.
3. If you want to know whether an increased waist size is putting you at health risk, carefully monitor your blood pressure.

4. Cinnamon is a spice that is helpful for controlling weight. It increases insulin sensitivity, which helps enhance the satiety center in your brain.
5. Stress can affect your weight loss efforts. Extreme stress turns off your hunger while chronic stress makes you hunger after good carbohydrates. Chronic stress makes your body store more fat.

6. If you want to cut your appetite, eat whole-grain foods. They are loaded with filling fiber.
7. Condition called PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is responsible for weight gain in about 10% to 20% of women under age fifty.

8. Fiber fills you up for the longest amount of time. Eat a cup of oatmeal in the morning to prevent you from afternoon gorging.
9. Walk at least half an hour every day for best possible waist control. You can do it at once or in intervals.

10. Bupropion, an antidepressant, is an effective medical option for weight loss. It helps control cravings and lead to about a 7% weight loss.

Bonus tip: Include resistance training like weight lifting to burn more fat throughout the day.
