Not because I really want to lose any more weight, but because I'm interested in the health benefits he promotes. I'm dying to see if I will have less fatigue and great mental acuity once I have cut gluten, carbs and sugar out of my diet.
Read details about the plan here.
I don't think a regimen this strict is something I would choose to maintain past the two week mark, but I'm curious to see how much I
With that being said, I'm already planning a 2-day hiatus from the plan because the hubby and I are headed to Atlantic City next weekend for some grown-up time, and I am surely going to have a few drinks (& wings... & pizzas... & hoggies... JK!!!) maybe not.
The best part about this whole thing is that I've even convinced Jay to give it a try, or at least a modified version. This is a HUGE deal because he loves food, so I'm really impressed that he agreed to take this plunge with me.
I started off the day with lemon water and Greek yogurt. I was supposed to whip up this smoothie for breakfast, but I've been banished from smoothie making at the ungodly hour I have to be up for work. So, I had the veggie broth for lunch...

and brought the smoothie back to work with me for "lunch".

Jay is insisting on cooking tonight, so we will incorporate the 6 oz of meat in with the 1/2 cup of rice & low-gli veggies at dinner time. Then more delicious (NOT) veggie broth on the side.
Taste-wise it really hasn't been too terrible so far, but I've heard the end of the day is the hardest. I always have something sweet right before bed (around 10 pm) and this plan calls for no eating between 8 pm - 8 am, so I'm sure I will be really feeling it later. I'm hoping I don't feel too week for my chic boxing class tonight.
I realized I didn't do a before pic, so I'll try to remember that before I hit the gym later. I'm curious to see how much of a difference there will be overall.
Wish me luck! I'm crazy lady hangry already, and it's only 3 pm!!!!

good luck! you can do it!!
I do the fasting from 8pm-8am. I really like that part....my hardest thing I used to drink coffee right when I woke up at 6:30 but since I am doing this workout in the morning, I wait to eat and drink coffee or tea til after that. Water really helps if you start to get hungry
