A couple of months ago, I bought a copy of Jason Vale's "7 lbs in 7 Days Juice Master Diet" book, with the intention of doing it as a detox. Of course I procrastinated and put it off and here I am 2 months later and in great need of a detox! So last week I got it out and reread it and mentally prepped myself to begin this program today.
Last weekend I ate crap and more crap almost every day this week, with the result that I am up 5 lbs from last weeks' weigh in from the salty and carby stuff I ate. I can't seem to just quit all the food types that are bad for me without making it a few days and then amnesia sets in and I forget why it is so important to tough it out til my system is detoxed and I am no longer craving it. Anyway, bottom line is, I do not do well with carbs and starches. My ideal way of eating that makes my body feel best is a diet of abundant veggies, some juices and fruits, and good quality proteins and fats. So, I decided to make that my goal for after this detox plan.
I think this is a really good program for me because it is not strictly juices only. I also found the book really appealed to me because Jason Vale speaks really sensibly about weight loss and detox. I am not the kind of person who can do extremes well, even healthy ones (I crashed and burned after doing 35 days of juice fasting). So today I started Day 1. I feel yucky, but that's not surprising given the fact that I have eaten junk food regularly.
I really want to stick to this and be feeling amazing 7 days from now. I am fed up with my weight and feel that it's time to start doing something about it.
good luck! when i started my reboot, i kept thinking about soliders being deployed to horrible places for a year away from their families and friends, and i kept thinking, "if they can do that for a year, i can do this for 60 days." of course i only made it 18, but you know what i mean. think of something that would be the worst thing you can imagine, then tell yourself "only 6 more days." good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yeah, I agree, that's a great way to think of it! It's really not that long a time period at all :)
