Day 2 of my 17 day diet challenge
Yes, I am trying a new diet.
While I loved the ease of slim fast I found myself getting bored and cheating on the diet.
Last week after celebrating the Super Bowl I gained 2 pounds.
I need something to re-energize and re-motivate me.
My sister-in-law suggested the 17 Day Diet.
So, I did my research and it is recommended by "The Doctors" & Dr. Phil.
Why does Dr. Phil get to recommend diets?
He has a PhD in psychology.
Do they normally deal with weight loss?
Either way I am taking his recommendation and jumping in head first.
For the first 17 days of this diet I have to follow a VERY strict menu to detox my body from sugar.
Not at all excited about this.
However, with my PCOS it causes insulin resistance so low sugar diets are great for me.
Well great for my body but terrible for my attitude!
Yesterday was day 1 and I stuck to a diet of eggs, cheese, raw veggies, greek yogurt/fruit smoothie & salad with a little chicken.
Today I have done the same for breakfast and lunch but headed to Chick-fil-a for dinner.
I know you are asking "why".
My sister and I are taking the kids there to run around and play since it is freezing outside.
I am hoping they have a really awesome yummy grilled chicken salad.
I have found that I am not only a stress eater (isn't everyone?) but also a boredom eater.
So, I am thinking this is the perfect time to start a diet.
We are moving in 19 days and I have a ton to get packed and done before the move so there is no chance I will be sitting around bored thinking about what snack I should have.
I am super excited about fast results this diet promises.
Every other diet I have ever done suggests you have to lose slowing to maintain but this says just the opposite and has research to back it up.
Wish me luck and I will keep you updated on my progress over the next few weeks.
Be prepared for lots of tears...on my end.
I just keep reminding myself that this is not supposed to be easy & nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
