Metabolic Balance Plan - My journey

[Pretika]

Here I am again.

I am starting the metabolic balance plan today. I have tried various diets from Cambridge - exante... Lets be clear they all work !! That was never my problem. I managed to lose 3 stones in 2008 and got to my target of 10st. I stayed this way for 2 years and then it started to creep up again. I love food and I love eating... I stopped exercising and now it has dawned on me that I am now 2 stone heavier.... I really did not want to go back to the packets I was looking for a change of lifestyle I want to be healthy and eat really food and lose weight.. A friend recommended the metabolic balance plan. I have had my blood work done and I have my plan of what I can eat... All healthy and natural foods- made up of carbs and protein . (Look up the plan if you are interested)

Phase 1 this is a detox phase for 2 days including a colon cleanse

So here we go day 1

I have 2 weeks until I start my new job so I want to be well underway by the time I start. So I took 3 tsp of Epsom salts and waiting for them to work their magic ! ( yuk)

Purging for 2 days is not healthy.

Hi getting fit - no the purge is only for 1 day and I am only taking the Epsom salts once (this morning ) day 2 is a day of just fruit and veg...

Ok 5 days completed, and I must admit that it has not been difficult sticking to the plan. I am enjoying the new foods - however I have been at home so it has been easy to prepare my meals.

anyways I jumped on the scales this morning and I have lost just short of 4 lbs (3.8 to be exact) so feeling great!!!

[Pretika]

so after week 1 - I lost 3lbs ( i think that it is more like 4lbs but it is TOTM). I had a planned treat meal on sunday so I have gone up slightly, but I am sure that it is coming off. the way my mid is working is that I am better than where I was last monday, so it must be a positive. 1 more week before I start my new job, I plan to go shopping on saturday to get a few basics, I would love to be brave and get things that are a little snug but not too confident yet.

anyways onwards and upwards!!!
