No, I did not change my diet since I already eat a very healthy diet, maintaining only fruits and veggies
 
What advice could you give to others that want the same results? 
STRESSED = DESSERT
These 2 are more alike than everyone believes. Too many desserts can cause weight gain; too much stress or chronic stress increases Cortisol levels which in turn will increase belly fat and decrease insulin resistance. Exercise and the “runner’s high” can help alleviate stress and decrease need for extra desserts by increasing endorphins
