OK, I have been going to the gym religiously now for over a year, and it have paid off somewhat. I have only done minor adjustments to my diet (i.e. reduced the amount of sugar in my coffee, whole wheat pasta etc.) nothing major though so any weight I have lost is because of the Gym.
Here is the problem, I am not going to the gym enough anymore because of work and school and I have been trying to loose 1 kg for over a month now and I think I have plateaued.
I am now looking at this differently, I need to do something I am extremely bad in, GO ON A DIET...........I mean the horror!
I am yet to stick to a diet, I was and still am a firm believer in a lifestyle change - I am not good at depriving myself of things I like but now understand that to loose weight I might have to postpone some of those treats and reduce the size significantly. well I am very slow at that change but will get there.........to do that I thought why not do an actually diet and reintroduced my favourite foods thereafter at a much reduced quantity and frequency.
Now I am hoping you asking yourself - why the west German diet, here are my reasons:
- I have a friend that tried it and I was amazed by the results
- I love my protein (MEAT and FISH) and will not go on a diet that will take it away
- I go to the gym at least three times a week and need the protein repair muscles
- I need something that will control my sugar intake because I am hopeless
- I am in the health industry and will know if there are red flags that come up
- I will not let my self starve on this diet - hoping that it is not the case
I am starting this today and need this blog because documenting it puts me in perspective of my goal, hoping to here from anyone on their active experiences too - a community if you will because I don't know anyone in my life that can take this journey with me.
HERE GOES:
DAY 1
Breakfast: Black coffeeI love my coffee, I have been know to call it my drug of choice, but I put sugar in it course if nothing else, sometimes with cream.
I luckily was not that hungry this morning, and I usually am not on most days so a cup of coffee was right up my ally to wake me up and set me up for the day ahead
Lunch: steamed spinach and 2 boiled eggs
One word, HORRIBLE! besides the fact that it does nothing for the pallet, all you are allowed to put on it is salt, I don't mind the eggs actually, its the flavourless spinach that made me almost gag. I am glad it does not make an appearance later in the week because that might be my reason to quit, HATE it, it was surprisingly filling though and am glad that's over........I am however looking forward to dinner.
Supper: Grilled steak, green Salad and one fruit
Right up my Ally too, love this dinner and I am KING at making steak so, besides lunch today was a good day.
Now the question is how much do I weight, well.........I opt to not share that but rather how much I am loosing, weigh in every 4 days seems appropriate.
LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING BUT HONESTY - WHY NOT RIGHT
How did you do with the diet? I don't see anymore posts after day 1. How much weight did you lose? And did it not affect your concentration and energy levels in a negative way? Reason why I'm asking is cause I'd like to start the diet but I'm busy with exams and I don't know if I should wait until I'm done or if I can start right away.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sorry I have not replied to you earlier, I will post one last blog on this diet which will give my view of how I I feel about it, and what happened. If you decide to go ahead and do it I would love to know your outcome, it is trying to say the least it was for me. Good luck
DeleteHi I'm about to start this diet today and did not see any further posts. I've done this diet before a couple of times and found it to be effective but it will be interesting to keep track of the progress here and see if it still works. I'll keep you up to date!
ReplyDeleteI have completed this diet 2 years ago and lost 9 kgs in the two weeks.
ReplyDeleteI let go of myself recently and decided to do it again. Today is my second day.
Its a very hard diet but the results are phenomenal. Everyone notices you losing weight. The trick is just to stick it out. Its just two weeks. Yummy stuff will b there forever. So just hold in there for 2 weeks. I swear by this diet.
My third day today and I'm going strong
ReplyDeleteMy third day today and I'm going strong
ReplyDeletemyself I tried it in 2014 but didn't complete the course, in 2015 I decided to try again this time with a friend on campus, after some few days everyone was commenting on how me and my friend have lost so much weight, I went from 117 kg to 107, then to 104 kg. its not easy I mean with all the cravings but its definitely worth a try. trust me with this diet you will never go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI did this diet about 5 years ago, was super impressed with the results. Trying to pull some motivation to do it again, I've gained a couple of kilo's. Goodluck ladies, it's tough but the best decision ever!!
ReplyDeleteThanks meant for sharing this type of satisfying opinion, written piece is fastidious, that’s why I’ve read it completely. 2 week diet
ReplyDeleteHi, I started with this diet for 1 and 1/2 weeks, unfortunately went to hospital, but after 2 weeks I have started again. I have lost 10 kg's now over a period of 4 weeks. Weekends are difficult, but on Mondays I am back on track again. Very proud of myself. It's a cheap easy diet. Just do it!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first head this news, it spun my head right round. Actually, if you’re like me, you won’t believe it until you’ve been shown the facts and heard the multitudes of raving testimonials. Let me break it to you: it is possible to lose 1-2 pounds DAILY. And the method is HEALTHY, not some magic pill or sketchy supplement. Even better, the system uses your body’s natural chemistry to make it a fat-burning machine, so you don’t have to kill yourself at the gym. Does your head feel like a whirling dervish? Did a tornado just whip through your mind? It sounds insane, but according to the scientific proof — and the thousands who have already achieved these results — this is a real life possibility for those struggling with weight loss. The reason it is hard to believe is that the mainstream dieting mantras like “Eat less, exercise more” and “Count every calorie” are actually ineffective for the majority of dieters. I’ll spare you the heaps of statistical evidence—it’s evident simply by looking around. The 2 Week Diet is a simple—yet potent—method developed and perfected by Brian Flatt, a health & nutritionist coach, personal trainer, and owner of R.E.V. Fitness. With over a decade of experience under his belt, he’s the perfect guide to help you strap your own belt several holes tighter. See what all the buzz is about here >> http://bit.ly/2y6x5SG Brian explains inside this short video exactly why — despite what the medical community says — you can drop 1-2 pounds of stubborn body fat each day in a healthy manner. People across the globe are reporting that they’ve dropped 1-3 dress sizes, 1–3 inches off their waist, have flatter stomachs, and lost fat off their hips, thighs, and butt in just 14 days. But...Don’t just take my word for it. See all the evidence and proof for yourself right here, right now. >> http://bit.ly/2y6x5SG
Love Marcus.
