Hi everyone! Hope you are all very well, healthy and happy!<\/p>\n
As everybody knows I’m\u00a0obsessed with diet subjects and I have helped hundreds of people to lose weight. Saying that, what so many of you don’t know is the big battle i had with the weight scales since i quit smoking in early 2012. It’s natural that we find other replacements to compensate our old ”best friend” cigarets, and I did what the most do: replaced my addiction with food. It was very sad to see pound after pound taking space on my body that some how i managed to keep very fit even after my boy’s pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Anyway, i was helping so many of you that I have studied the subject and on my search i found out that the best of the diets is the ones used when people have bariatric surgeries and it is scientifically proven that it is the best solution.<\/p>\n
Based in ketosis (which i already explained in a post here a few weeks ago), the VLCD or very low calorie diet, makes us realize where our mistakes are and deal with them.<\/p>\n
Well, I was an obese child. When i joined the high school i put all my efforts in slimming down. So I did. I managed to keep my 60kgs till my pregnancy when i reach 70kgs; but as soon i gave birth i was back to my ”normal” weight in a week or so. In between lots of stress I decided to stop smoking after 20 years + being a heavy smoker, so that was the moment that i saw myself gaining weight.<\/p>\n
The day i decided to take control of the situation and stop to wear leggings and tunics was last november (2013), when i jumped on the scale and saw the worst number I could: 98Kgs (app 15.5 stones\/ or 216 pounds). i must confess that i was crying for a week, but the shock was worth the wake up call. I’m just 1.73m (5’8”) what means that if you calculate the BMI, you won’t find the most healthy number.<\/p>\n
On the time, i purchased a week worth of meal replacements to try from www.theidrevolution.com<\/a> just to try. Feeling very well, energized and happy, after the 3rd day, I purchased a deal enough to last for a month. The results were brilliant – i dropped 2 dresses size and finished with 78 kilos (12.3 stones\/171.9 pounds). it was the best loss without much effort.<\/p>\n I didn’t gave up, but i had my parents with me for a month, my nanny for other month, my best friend…. after that my annual holidays…. I made a break, and was waiting for a moment to click to re-start and get back as close as i can to my ”normal” weight.<\/p>\n This afternoon, I have received an email from MY ID – www.theidrevolution.com<\/a> with 18 new deals on offer (it is in their home page today) and i decided to challenge myself, setting a diary and re-start the Diet Plan. I placed an order for four weeks fast plan, that basically supplies 3 meals a day for 28 days. Amazingly, it is cheaper than regular eating.<\/p>\n Basically, I like to have one shake, one meal and my 3rd replacement i take one day a shake, one day a bar – so, on my deal i choose 28 shakes for my 1st meal, 28 meals for my second and 14 bars and 14 shakes for my third.<\/p>\n As i am on 3 meals a day, i allow myself to have 50ml of skinned milk in my black coffee when i wake up but no more milk till the next coffee when i wake up the next morning.<\/p>\n The best little secret i have learned is that if i take the meal replacement with one glass of water before and one glass of water after, the chances that i have to lose weight will always will be larger. so, i do!<\/p>\n Because i have so much water retention, i also purchased AQUA pills from ID as well. To me the big difficulty here is drinking water, so i drink Amazonian yerba-mate tea (they also have available in their shop as ID BIKINI TEA) and camomile tea; but i make sure that i drink at least 8 mugs of tea (on this diet you can drink black coffee, black tea, camomile tea, peppermint tea, yerba mate but avoid the fruity herbals).<\/p>\n It’s 10:45pm and I just weight myself: 76.6kgs (12.06 stones\/ 168.9 pounds) Even out of the diet for all those days, I am slimmer. But explainable. As i said already, this diet makes us realize our mistakes, and obviously change our life style.<\/p>\n Tomorrow is a big day to me! I received a few minutes ago the dispatch message already letting me know that I will receive my slim box in the morning, so just on time to I start it!<\/p>\n I planned to have tomorrow:<\/p>\n – breakfast: black coffee with 50ml skinned milk<\/p>\n – meal one: strawberry shake (one glass of water before & one glass of water after it)<\/p>\n – meal two: noodles chicken curry soup (one glass of water before & one glass of water after it)<\/p>\n – meal three: mapple bar (one glass of water before & one glass of water after it)<\/p>\n Just on this planning I set already 7 glasses of liquids (app 2,1 liters). So, I make sure that I drink 4-5 more teas along the day.<\/p>\n On the first 3 days I absolutely avoid physical exercise as the body is re-adapting to the new diet, but I will talk about it as well on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Well, if you want to follow my diet, subscribe to my site on the foot of the page. I will post my experiences day by day, I will talk about food replacement and the maintenance; I will post pictures and give tips of diet and exercise… Come with me and we can together, win this battle for life!<\/p>\n A great week to you all!<\/p>\n x x<\/p>\n Paula<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (LONDON) por Paula Tooths Hi everyone!
