Hey guys... so I been a bit slack posting about my detox diet. I guess that if I cant find time to be healthy, then I sure as hell cant find time to blog. But hey, this is part of my mission, to find time to fit these healthy lifestyle choices in.
Ok so a small update on the detox
Day 2
Breakfast was the usual, Muesli with soy milk and some raw honey. Snack was an apple. Lunch was rice and lentils. Afternoon snack was three plums. Dying for coffee in the morning!!! Dinner I made some chick pea sausages with brown rice. I am always craving for something sweet after all my meals and its so hard to contain these cravings. I will have to figure out what I can eat to stop these sweet tooth cravings hmmm.
Day 3
Weekend! This is scary. I mean, during the week I work so I pack my meals for the day. I dont really have any temptations at work that will make me break my detox (besides coffee yummmm). So I went pretty well. Dad the usual breakfast, snack was a smoothie with mango and soy milk. Had a small plate of rice and lentils. However, weekends means boyfriend time. My boyfriend isnt the healthies eater either. His daily diet contains, Mc Donalds for breakfast, Subway for lunch and probably hungry Jacks for dinner. You would think he would be the size of a truck, but nope, he was blessed with a fast metabolism. No fair :(
So.... he got pizza for dinner... and i couldn't bare to see his crusts go in the bin... so I ate them :o bad i know! Totally broke the detox with the white pizza base. Anyway, back on track for tomorrow.
Didn't weight myself today.
Day 4
Ok, so have been weighing myself daily (except yesterday as its the weekend and I am totally out of routine as to the daily morning scales trip)... and ummm the scales must be broken lol. I dont see any weight change. Weight = 76.4 kgs. 400grams lost. I think that just because i am on a detox and eating healthy foods, I seem to be eating more and intaking the same amount of calories that I did before the detox.
So how often should we weigh ourself?
The doctor recommends once a week, as weight can go up and down daily due to water intake etc. If we weight ourselves daily and see a slight weight gain one day, it can defer us from our diets and cause a binge :(
So, I have decided I am going to try and just weigh in weekly. Its actually pretty hard to do this as when we diet, we look for encouragement from the scales.
Lets see how i go anyway!
Take care.... will keep you posted on the next/last three days on my detox :)
Peace xx
