7 Odd Foods that KILL Your Abdominal Fat?

Why do a detox diet?

Well for me it was a combination of several things. Maybe you can relate to a few of my reasons to give a detox cleanse a try.

-I had gained some weight due to some stress eating and I wanted those pounds gone fast!

-I was feeling lethargic rather than energetic in the morning. This could have been due to my stress eating at night and I wanted to stop that bad trend.

-I just felt more ache-y in my body. Hey, I know I am getting older but overall I just did not feel healthy and vibrant.

For the three reasons above I decided to embark on a detox diet cleanse and see if I could turn my low energy, "not feeling healthy," getting super pudgy body around. Sounds like a tall order right? I thought so too.

Now I realize that doing a detoxing or cleansing diet  for a few days will not turn around months or years of living a less than healthy lifestyle. What I hoped, however, was that it would help me "shock" my system back into submission and get me headed in a more healthy direction and of course I wanted to lose some pounds at the same time.

I decided to do a 14 day fruit and vegetable cleanse.

What I liked about it was that I could eat basically all that I cared to eat (so I would not be hungry) - the catch was that whatever I ate had be only fruits and vegetables. And the fruits and veggies had to be RAW - no cooking for 14 days.  That may sound drastic, but let me tell you it was not as hard as I thought it would be. I followed through with the entire 14 days and I was not hungry the entire time. I even came up with some pretty creative and tasty raw fruit and vegetable dishes that I still like to eat to this day.

What was my result after 14 days? 

I lost 13 pounds and that totally rocked! I felt a lot more energetic - probably because I cleansed out quite a bit of junk from my body's system. And overall my body just felt better.  I am a true believer when it comes to detox diets now. I think if you are doing the right one for you - you can't go wrong and the results are pretty cool.

Fruit and Vegetable Diet Cleanse - How Did I Lose 13 Pounds in 14 Days Eating Carbs?

How to Lose Weight and keep it off permanently Starting Today!

7 Odd Foods that KILL Your Abdominal Fat?

I recently shared how I lost 13 pounds in 14 days doing a fruit and vegetable cleanse. I actually stayed on the cleanse for a total of 6 weeks (42 days) and lost 23 pounds total!

I ate lots of fresh whole fruits and tasty vegetables. I was never hungry. And with the system I followed, the weight came off fast.

I got some feedback that people were surprised I could lose weight eating so many carbohydrates.

So I thought it might be helpful to review the truth about good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates so you can see that all carbs are definitely not created equal!

Carbs have been bashed a lot in the media, however, there really are good carbohydrates and in a balanced healthy diet there is room for plenty of the "good" ones.

What are good carbs? Good carbohydrates are complex carbohydrates. You find them in whole fresh foods like fruits and vegetables. They have not been processed and their molecular structure has not been altered. Our bodies are genetically set up to eat these foods. Good carbohydrates are filled with vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients that are necessary for good health. They also stabilize your blood sugar because of the way your body digests them.

On the other hand, "bad" carbs are the ones that break down in your body very rapidly and they cause a hefty surge of insulin that throws your blood sugar into disarray. Bad carbs also promote storage of fat on your body.

What are bad carbs? They are also known as simple carbohydrates and you mainly find them in the form of refined sugar and processed grain products.

Why do they break down in your body so fast? Because they are NOT whole foods - they are foods that have been altered through chemical processing in factories and many times the most nutritious parts of the foods have been removed during the process. Bad carbs are mostly found in packaged foods like pasta, crackers, white bread, baked goods and many other foods that are made predominantly with white flour and sugar and contain little or no fiber.

So how did I lose all that weight in such a short time eating a lot of carbohydrates?

My diet consisted primarily of good complex fresh whole food natural carbohydrates (i.e., lots of fruit and vegetables).

Despite everything you have heard about how carbohydrates can make you fat, if you stick with complex whole food "good" carbs you can lose weight fast just like I did.

7 Odd Foods that KILL Your Abdominal Fat?

Fruit and Vegetable Diet Cleanses are really gaining in popularity as a way to accomplish very fast weight loss!

After a particularly stressful winter I had packed on some unwanted unsightly pounds that I wanted gone quick.

Summer was coming and that meant skimpier clothes and shorts and I did not want to be wearing layers of clothes to hide my rolls and bulges if you know what I mean. In addition my normally comfortable clothes had become much less comfortable (read: tight around the middle!).

I had lost weight before and kept it off for years but because of my emotional eating during a long period of stress in my life some weight has slipped back on my body and I was miserable! I knew the usual weight loss tricks and plans and options but I was darn sick of them.

I did not want to see another frozen diet meal from Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers. I knew down deep those frozen concoctions were packed with preservatives and quite often loads of sodium and chemicals.

In addition I had been a vegetarian for many years in my past and my gut was telling me I needed to get away from eating inhumanely treated factory farmed animals that have had a slaughter house experience.

So it seemed like a natural progression for me to take a look at a way of eating I had embraced in the past and see if it would give me the results I was looking for. I wanted to lose weight fast, improve my energy and stamina and improve the look of my skin and my overall health.

I started with a 14 day fruit and vegetable diet cleanse and I was blown away! The pounds came flying off so fast it made my head spin. I was never hungry and I ate lots of delicious healthy foods! You can imagine how excited I was to get on the scale after 14 days and see the huge loss of weight.
