Winter time is hibernation time. But regardless of the fact that we as humans do not hibernate like some animals, my body still think it needs to fat itself up for/during winter time. There are many reasons I eat: I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm nervous, I'm bored... and the list goes on and on.
So on Monday 28 July 2008 I have decided I need some guidance to stop this cycle of stuffing my face with everything I can find, and I gave in to the latest info-mercial: Jump Start 7 Day Weight Loss Program.
This program entails that you stop eating any solid foods for 7 days. You get a juicer with the Jump Start book, and you only live on 5 fruit/vegetable juices per day. This sounded like my cup of tea... no more wondering what to eat, and I LOVE fruit and vegetables. You still get all the nutrients you require (fruits/vegs also contain carbs and protein) and the specific combination of recipes helps you to get rid of all the toxins in your body.
I started on Tuesday 29/07/08 and after Day 4, I have already lost 3.5kg. Can't wait to see the results on Tuesday!
So what happens after this? Your body has to become accustom to solid foods again (just like a baby :-) but then you only start eating solid fruit and vegetables, move on to soups and then only poultry. This gives you a new beginning, deciding on what you really want to stick in your mouth. And you feel great at the same time, and you've lost some extra weight!
So far so good.
