About Me – MYFITLIFE.COM.AU

Hi, I’m Ashraf Alam, founder of MYFITLIFE.COM.AU .

I currently live in Melbourne, Australia.I have always been passionate about sports when I was young ( I am still young by the way ) and lived a very active life till my university. It was hard for me to gain any weight during that time as I was so active. Then 2004 I moved to beautiful Melbourne for my higher study .During that time I was only concentrating on my study and part time work , never really pay any attention of what I was eating , no workout apart from walking to train station and back,drinking bottles of coke everyday with all sorts for quick and easy fast foods. No wonder that I began to gain weight . From 78kg I reached at socking 110kg+ in just twelve month. My health condition was declined significantly and I was warned by my doctor that I am moving toward diabetics and my heart condition was not very healthy with high blood pressure symptom. I was feeling lazy with no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

Then after my daughter was born on 2007 , I decided to take care of my health but nothing really works till 2012. I was only getting frustrated as none of the diet I tried really worked . Why ? because I wanted to have a very quick result on the scale. But I forgot my unhealthy body was a product of my last 8 years of unhealthy eating habit , it will surely not revert back in 8 months !! I was not patients and was looking for a quick fix .

From there I shifted my focus from weight loss to health first approach . I completely stopped standing on my scale every morning rather I was purely concentrating on healthy eating and workout . Two thing I was very strict with was my workout routine and zero sugar intake .No matter what happen I would workout minimum one hour,five days a week . I was so disciplined that I even went to gym at 11:30 pm .However It got lots of social effect but I remain committed . I started to see my result and I never need to look back from there . Healthy eating and workout became my lifestyle and not an occasional thing . Now a days I walk around 80Kg and never felt more energetic than before. I completed numerous endurance activities like Around the bay 250km cycling in a day , dozens of Half Marathon and now preparing for my first full marathon .

During this journey I tried many different kinds of diet ( Paleo , Atkins , Juice diet , Soup Diet , Intermittent fasting ) you name it ! I read 100’s of blog , lots of books on different diet and even got myself qualified as “Advance Nutritional Coach” .Don’t get me wrong , most of the diet out there works if you can apply them correctly and be in the game for long term . Everyone’s body is different and there is no one diet fits all approach. But in my view the most scientific,easy to maintain is Ketogenic diet. It works like magic on me every time.

Why I decided to create myfitlife.com.au ?

I always remembered the following quote in my life ” At First They’ll Ask , Why Are You Doing It ? Then They Will Ask You , How Did You Do It ?”

and now a days I get it lot , hundreds of time in any social gathering , work etc . I try my best to help every single one, as personally I know how painful your life can be when you are not healthy . Your back pocket might have full of cash but your life is basically up side down . During my health journey , one thing I learn to be grateful and I am grateful to so many person around me . Starting from my family , specially my lovely wife to support me in every situation.She is one best gift in my life where I always get the positive energy.

Now its time to give my knowledge back to the community and help others, specially who are struggling with their health everyday . I have gone though the same and I made changes in my life with self motivation . Through that journey what I mostly acquired is knowledge .

Now my goal is to inspire people so they get fit , teach them how to reach their health goal . I want to share my knowledge , specially on ketogenic diet with my followers so they can overcome their previous failure and get healthy. If I can add value to their life , that will be by biggest success.
