Pound Weight Loss – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

I saw this print hanging at a local eatery in Lexington (virginia) last week and had to take a photo. This is a question I ask myself when I feel resistant to change. Why not today?

Thank you for the birthday well wishes and encouragement to my goals. I know that this isn’t the first time I’ve made goals, or a plan on this blog and so yes, I’m aware, but I’m doing it anyway. Today I’m at a 13 pound weight loss and I know that this process will continue to snowball, I just have to do it.

I was so spoiled for my birthday last week, many times over. Josh took me to the Safari Park (near Lexington) and I laughed so hard I was crying.

I mean, where else in the world can you go and say “I had a camel’s head in my car!”?

or a Zebra? I wanted to take this guy home with me.

Lexington is such a cute little town, it’s perfect for a day trip, just make sure you get there before 5pm when everything in town closes down.

We had dinner at Michele’s, a French restaurant located right off the Lexington exit. We ate here on our first anniversary and it was just as good as a remember. This salad with fried goat cheese and prosciutto and citrus dressing was heaven. I had the poached salmon with lobster sauce for dinner with a side of heirloom carrots and mashed potatoes. Dessert was a deep dish apple custard pie with a shortbread crust and homemade butter pecan ice cream. Nothing else needs to be said about the deliciousness of Michele’s! He even took time to come out and talk to us.

And so now that things have settled, I’m back to regular eating and posting my food again. This was yesterday’s lunch which was simple and delicious, just arugula, cucumbers, red peppers and tomatoes in a spinach wrap. I made a dressing out of sour cream, half and half, garlic, dill and oregano. This was a feel good meal.

For exercise I’ve been doing a session of Jillian’s 30 Day Shred, I woke up with sore arms this morning and made sure to put ice on my wonky knee afterwards. Can I just say (for the millionth time) that having an issue with my knee really puts everything into a new perspective. I fell on a dog four weeks ago (five weeks?) and while I’ve been told that this kind of injury can take up to four months to heal properly, is makes me appreciate and see how much I take the ability to move for granted. It’s frustrating to not feel like myself and to wake up with pain, and have to take precautions, this is new to me, but I’m working through it.

I also got a knee band that I wear to sleep and during exercise and it’s helped tremendously.

For breakfast this morning I had an oatmeal and fruit smoothie. I didn’t love it, but I’m going to try again tomorrow. I think I had too many flavors going on: oatmeal, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, banana, honey, blueberries and coconut. Maybe plain almond milk would be best?

There has been a diet floating around for many years called the 3 day diet. It is crap and promises a 10 pound weight loss but is in truth a lie. I have thought a bit about this and decided to come up with my own 3 day diet.

Why Use a 3 Day Diet?

Have you ever thought of going on a 3 day diet? I was just surfing around and found that there are people looking for something of a short diet. If you were to do a three day diet I fear that you would not lose a lot of weight but you would have an opportunity to get in better shape by eating better and concentrating on some of those fundamentals of good eating and good metabolism tricks.

So here are some ideas that I have for how to do a 3 day diet.

First as you get up in the morning on the first day remember that you will be trying to do a couple of things. You will be looking to space out your eating for the entire 3 day diet and you will be looking to improve your water intake to help fill you up.

3 Day Diet Step 1 – Eating

First thing to do is to drink a lot of water. In the 3 day diet you will likely be drinking three or four times as much water as you are used to drinking. This morning you will drink three glasses of water and no food yet. This extra water intake will mean that you are going to peeing a lor more often than you are used to but that is ok as well, your body needs to relearn how to regulate hydration better.

Most people say that you should have a good breakfast to start the day. I have to agree that this is a good idea although having food first thing is not a very good idea as your body is not ready to understand hunger yet, especially after drinking all of that water. You can use the same strategy as me and wait 30 to 60 minutes until your body has really started to churn through that water and then my favorite breakfast is to eat a pack of instant apple and cinnamon oatmeal and then a banana. I know this seems like a small breakfast but that is part of the trick.

As you go through this three day diet you will find that you are eating probably the same amount of food but spaced throughout the day so each meal will seem small and you will not feel hungry because you get to keep eating often.

3 Day Diet Step 2 – Eat Often

Most people on the regular north american diet will eat one or two giant meals and another small one. This is a terrible way to treat your body, it can’t use those giant meals very well and your blood sugar is being shot up and then dropped down again. We should call regular eating the wrestling diet since it seems to being your blood sugar up off the top rope and then bodyslams it to the mat below. In your 3 day diet you will be eating a lot better than this with a bunch of small meals that will keep your blood sugar balanced.

So on my 3 day diet you will be eating at 8:00, 10:00, Noon, 3:00, 5:00, and 8:00

I will not tell you exactly what to eat as that would not be fair. What I suggest is that all of your meals should have some protein, some fat and some carbs and should satisfy you without making you full. The first day will be very difficult as you will be so worried about eating small meals that you may eat a bit much and then a couple hours later you will not be hungry but will still be eating.

So since this may be a radical departure for you I have just a few rules to make the 3 day diet work better and be easier.

1. No meal can be big. Dinner is as big as breakfast which is as big as a mid afternoon snack.

2. Eat at least 5 pieces of fruit or servings of vegetables in a day

3. Drink a large glass of water 30 minutes before each of your meals

4. Eat some kind of serving of meat 2 to 3 times a day. If you are a vegetarian then just make sure that you are eating lots of protein based foods often every day

5. Write down your foods everyday and then in the evening journal your victories as well as your mistakes and how you want to eat better the next day

Serving Sizes on a 3 Day Diet

After your third day of this 3 day diet you are going to find that you are not scared of your serving sizes anymore and you are also going to feel a lot better. There is a great improvement in health, concentration, energy, and attitude when you are drinking more and self regulating your blood sugar. The other great thing about this kind of diet is that you are going to be able to improve your metabolism as your body will not fear that it will be close to starvation at any point of the day.

I hope that after you have tried this three day diet that you will go ahead and start it right away again. This in not just a good idea for three days but instead this 3 day diet is a great way to change your lifestyle for the better.
