total loss in 5 weeks 13.5 pounds. average 2.5 pounds per week.
Yes, finally seeing movement again on the scale. I've been wrestling for weeks with water weight. I think that the 5 to 7 pounds you lose in the first couple of days on the juice diet is just water and waste, and that I've been slowly really losing that weight over the past month, it's just not shown too much on the scale. I should say I'm real happy that I didn't regain those 5 to 7 pounds.
Successful efforts in my grind
Hiked 3 miles on Tuesday at Eno park, and have been counting calories like a mad man. Every evening I wrestle with the snack man, AND WIN! Juice 1x per day for energy, low fats, no bread (only gluten free), no pasta, no cream sauces, fruits and vegetables, meats, minimal sweets (such as a 90 cal fat free pudding here or there) , almost no soda, almost no fast food. I cook most of the time. Eat on a schedule. Graze or eat up to five times per day. 8am 11am 2pm 6pm 9pm for a total of 1650 calories (using calculator from previous post)
Benefits of a Juice Fast.
- teaches you a disciplined mind set
- an extremely healthy way to kick off a diet.
- detoxification
- a reprogramming of the taste buds
- a highly encouraging starting point ( I lost 9 pounds in 7 days)
