I had to do something. I am so addicted to carbs it's a joke. Ice cream and chocolate....they don't cut it for me. I want chips and crackers, and pretzels, cereal......whatever. Not to mention my metabolism is shot after a decade of laziness and children. I figured that my body was still a teenager and it would bounce back all on it's own......it tried to give me signs.....tired eyes, crows feet, and dry skin......I just wasn't listening. The combination of feeling this way and having persuasion to live a healthier life coming at me in all indirect directions.......i decided to take on this detox. Here is what I am doing:
(I have no idea what it's called, or who wrote it....horrible I know. I just know my friends have done it with some moderation's and it works.)
This detox is not entirely to lose weight in 3 days, and look awesome all summer long. You will lose weight, and maybe even a lot. But, this is a metabolic booster and a way to rid your body of carb and sugar and sodium cravings. This is a start for a healthier life.
Intake this food in any order For 3 days:
2 eggs cooked any way you like them
As much as you like of Pure Protein. This means preservative, sodium free protein. Fish filets, roasted chicken.- Raw Almonds
2 servings of citrus- I prefer grapefruit
All the raw green veggies you want
Lemon Water
Mrs. Dash Seasonings to season what you'd like, and olive oil for coating your pan if you need to.
I start with both eggs in the morning.
then I eat my citrus
lunch and dinner I did a chicken breast
in between i did a lot of veggies and my other citrus.
I still took my vitamins and medicines I need daily. So be sure to not change those things.
Mentally, it was really hard, getting through the first day, but I have so much energy I feel wonderful....and losing 3 pounds was a bonus. (most of that was water)
*I will not lie....this is very bland. But I love the snow pea pods....they are a bit sweet! So maybe that helps. If you struggle....go to sleep.
Day 4 start incorporating carbs back into your diet and switch out your meats for things like protein drinks ( NOT Loaded with sugar ) Try EAS. It's whey and it's is low in carbs and sugar.
1 carb (if you do bread and pasta make sure it is whole wheat) and 1 protein for breakfast.
Carb, Protein, veggie for lunch and again for dinner. Remember your Fruits count as a carb.
Choose healthy snacks in between and exercise. You should be feeling great! I do already and I am on day two. I can't wait till Monday!!!
