Learning to be Healthy-Training this Body!

So everyone, from personal experience, I will tell you that if you do this diet you really do need to STICK to it! When I went off it last week, I only lost 4. Granted, that is a pretty good number still. But if you aren't really really good on your off days, you will probably gain it all back.  I did it again this week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I stuck with it. I lost SEVEN (7) pounds again! It was very exciting. And honestly, doing it this time all the way through, was so much easier. I feel like the first two rounds were practice and I found all the sweet spots.  I chewed a lot more gum and sucked on a few sugar-free candies. I had steak for the first night, which is really so good and such a treat. Then throughout the week, if someone offered lunch, I'd decline. If someone offered me something very small, like a bit of their really awesome TORTILLA pizza, then I'd take a little bite. But I didn't have more than LITERALLY a bite of what was offered. It gave me a qu...

I just finished another round of the 3 day diet. I didn't stick to it nearly as well this time as I had originally. I wanted to see where I ended up if I didn't follow it exactly and also, there were social opportunities revolving around food that I didn't want to miss out on too much.  I lost 4 pounds. It's definitely not 7, but it is still more than 1lb a day. If I can keep it all off over the weekend, then I will be satisfied. Though that is definitely the hardest part.  I hope to lose between 15-20 pounds this first month, but I will need to pace myself and not get discouraged.  Which leads me to my next post...

Hello again! The 4 days off have been completed. My goal was to have a total loss of 5 pounds over the seven days.  And it happened! WOOOOO! It was a really good weekend, with lots of friends, familiy, and even food. I ate moderately and worked out plenty, since I had decided to do at least two activities on my diet days off. It was fun and really easy to keep a closer eye on the foods, though I didn't always make the best choices. I probably could have kept it all off if I had tried harder, but for my first round, I'm really satisfied.

Good MORNING! So the results are in! But before I get to them, I want to summarize the whole experience. Overall, this is a really satisfying, easy diet. It is convenient and quick. It fills you up with a variety of foods, all with different nutritional pluses and there is plenty of sweet, meat, and crunchiness for everyone's needs!  It is only 3 days long, so the commitment isn't hard, even for the commitment-phobes out there. Plus, it has ICE CREAM!! How can you go wrong? Even the bad stuff isn't that bad, or only for a meal or two. The next time or two I do it (because I will do it again), then I'll be tweaking it just a little. Chicken here instead of tuna, or replacing a meal with one from the day before. I will see how  well it works and post my results as well.  After you finish the 3 day part, you have 4 other days until you can do it again. Which honestly makes a ton of sense. Even though you may not be feeling hungry, your body isn't meant ...
