I started my weight loss journey in 2012 after making a New Years resolution to lose some weight.

I was starting to develop symptoms associated with Diabetes and it scared me. My knees and hips ached every day and it was getting harder and harder to walk up and down the stairs.

why did i gain weight

I would say that a lot of my weight gain had to do with inactivity. I work from home so I didn’t really have to leave the house. I was very inactive. Also, during this time, my husband was also out of work, so it was a bit stressful for him. I did a lot of stress eating. He was eating at least 3000-5000 calories a day without exercise and burning less than a few hundred calories a day.

Here is what I did:

sugar detox

My husband came home from work one day and mentioned that a coworker had lost an enormous amount of weight simply by cutting sugar out of his diet.

It is almost impossible to eliminate all sugar from your diet. Fruits and some vegetables contain natural sugars. Some simple carbohydrates can be turned into sugar in your body. The sugar he was referring to was white sugar and brown sugar. I eliminated sugar from my diet.

I started looking at my diet and noticed that I was eating a lot of carbohydrates (pasta, bread, rice, potatoes). I removed them from my meal plan. I also eliminated donuts, honey buns, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and pies from my meals. I was not a juice or soda drinker so it was easy to knock out. I also eliminated cheese and cow’s milk from my diet completely.

My meals:

My meals consisted of: oatmeal, bananas, strawberries, eggs, turkey bacon, chicken, ground turkey, kale, kale, spinach, green beans, great northern beans, chic peas, broccoli, almonds, sunflower seeds. almond milk.

Water consumption:

I drank water half my weight in water every day. This included green tea with lemon (no sugar, honey or agave nectar). Probably the hardest, but I knew that drinking water would help me stay full longer, help me stay hydrated, and help flush toxins out of my system.

Exercise:

I walked more than 20 minutes a day 3-4 times a week. I would walk everywhere. The closest store was about 8 blocks away. I didn’t care how cold it was outside. I made a commitment to exercise as much as possible. I would make up reasons for having to walk to the store so that I could take my steps every day.

Bathroom Breaks:

Most people only release waste 2-3 times a week. I ate 3-5 meals a day but released 1-2 times a week. I was beyond constipated.

Why is waste release important?

Cleaning your colon has the ability to help you lose weight. People have lost up to 20 pounds in a period of one month. What a colon cleanse does is remove affected foods, parasites, worms, and intestinal sediment from your colon. One of the many things this will do is help jump-start your metabolism, which will help you burn fat faster.

I knew I had to do something, so I started taking castor oil. That thing is terrible and it made me throw up, but it worked. Within hours it was clearing but after i stopped the castor oil my system would not clear so i had to try something else.

What I found is that there are mild detox teas that will give you the same results. I started adding this along with a liquid multivitamin to my diet and can now do it 2-4 times a day.

My results:

As a result of changing my diet, increasing my vitamin intake, and releasing more waste, I lost 92 pounds over a 2-year period. I went from a size 18 to a size 10.

This was the plan I followed. I have been able to maintain my weight loss for the past 2 years.

For me this is not just a diet but a lifestyle change. I still enjoy the foods I like, but in moderation.

Can this work for you? Yes. The question to ask yourself is whether your current health is worth it.
