I tell you what, we should get your REAL before pictures. THAT is the journey people should be focusing on. Sure, these 60 days you have worked your ass off and earned every bit of what you've accomplished, absolutely. But the last, what was it, 5-7 years? That transformation is outstanding. Most people see success after a few months and become satisfied. Then they set the bar down and before they know it they're trying to find another "quick fix"! You have been on this journey for years. Awesome example of dedication! If ever there was a magic pill it is knowledge and determination. You've found'em both. You, Tom and Dave all have such a surge of energy in your quest for ultimate fitness. I'm glad you have found that here at the Fort. Garth, my man...

You've lost 40lbs since joining the Fort four months ago. That is amazing!!! I personally run into people everyday who say "I can't do it", and give 100 excuses why not (job, family, age, willpower, time, etc). But you've just put your head down and done it!

I remember the day that you guys took the Day One photos, thinking, "why the hell are THEY taking photos?? How much leaner/better are they going to look?" Boy was I wrong, what a great testament to your will and commitment!! Its more amazing that before switching to the diet, you guys were A. Eating well already B. CrossFitting for 6months+ Kudos!

The first question most people ask when you tell them they shouldn't eat grains is, "What should I eat?". It's very simple. You should write this at the top of every shopping list. Meat and vegetables, seeds and nuts, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. If you cut the grains, you can go crazy and eat as much as you want. It mostly won't stick and you'll always fill up fast anyways. Good luck! Almost forgot an important note.
