What to say about this . . . I have been on The Plan for 6 days. I have lost 7.8 pounds in that six days. I've had similar weight loss with HCG, but this was different. It was easier. With HCG, I was only 500 calories and while I wasn't hungry, it was a very boring experience.
On The Plan, I have eaten a LOT of vegetables and a few fruit. Now that I am on Day 6 - I actually like the flax granola that I consume each day. On the second day, I was literally just chewing swallowing to get it over. I discovered on Day 3 - that I wasn't putting in enough milk (plain coconut milk). Once I became generous with milk, the cereal became sweeter and more interesting. It does have dried fruit in it, but I was really tasting slimy flax seeds, which is a joy killer.
The first three days are really a cleanse. They are very similar to the 3 day plan in the More magazine. http://www.more.com/lose-weight-fast-detox-diet
I lost exactly 5 pounds during the first 3 days, which is very cool.
I am really liking this experience. It is hard because I am not eating out or drinking lattes. I must cook (clean and slice vegetables). I had to purchase a new food processor because the one I've owned for 15+ years lost the slicer/shredder blade. The dishes I am cooking or ones that I will eat after the plan. Today, I had broiled steak, mixed green salad with lime agave viniagrette, and sauteed zucchini and onions with parmesan cheese (goat cheese). Outstanding.
I've made carrot ginger soup which was way better than I could imagine. So, the cooking skills are energized with real food instead of brownies/cookies/cakes. Aaah . . . Oh by the way I can have 1 glass of red wine and an ounce of chocolate after day 4. I have and I still lost that day. Awesome.
We'll see if my body reacts to the steak I had today. A reaction would be a weight gain or some other physical change.
