Lost a stone in 5 weeks : )
 

Hi I have been wanting to lose weight since I put on 4 stone when I quit smoking :icon_eek:

I am at that age when the weight doesn't just fall off if you just eat lettuce for a week !!

Basically I am doing Ann Louise Gittleman s Fast Track Detox Diet combined with the Fat Flush Plan .

The Detox diet involves eliminating :sugar,caffeine, wheat, fat, dairy and alcohol for a week - plus eating liver healing and colon caring foods - then one
day only drinking cranberry juice(a special spice blend) then 3 days of the same as before the fast day.

The Fat Flush is 30 mins (5 days a week) on a mini-trampoline for 2 weeks
and then builds up to more intensive workouts .

I am so impressed how much better I look and feel - so much energy:color:

I am really enjoying discovering new healthy meals and snacks - and I am even being good on the rest days :hug3:

Nice congratulations! I am in USA and I am not sure how much a stone is...

Thanks Michael - a stone is 14lbs or 6.36 kilos :smile:

Sounds great GSR - does the diet assist for when you have reached your goal weight to help you continue to eat healthly and keep the excess weight off?

YAY good for you I'm so happy for you it's such a good feeling.

Thanks Spiritlite :hug2:

Hi Ces I think the thing that is different about a Detox diet is that the fat you

lose is from all the toxins your body has been storing - so as long as you don't

take in loads of toxins you should keep the weight off:smile: I have changed to all

organic products : laundry powder,shampoo,toothpaste everything that can

create a toxic reaction in my body , so that my liver can do its job without

getting overloaded:D

Well done GSX...
I myself am on a new healthy me plan, and hope to have as much success,
but well done you, and enjoy the new you :O)

Thanks Spirit :hug2: today is my fast day so am hoping to have lost even more

by tomorrow :smile:

Thanks for the reply. So does that mean you stay on this detox diet forever?

No ! once you have reached your target weight you can reintroduce any food you want - but apparently after doing this diet for a while you start not wanting the bad foods - the same as if you bought an expensive sports car you wouldn't put cheap petrol/gas in it !!:smile:
