back on track
Alright…so I am back on track and following Dr Joshi’s regimen once again!
If you have been following my blog since forever ago, you’ll remember that I started my first round of Joshi’s detox just before I became pregnant with Nell. If you’re interested in catching up and finding out what this detox is all about, you can always read all my detox postings by clicking on the "detox" link under the title of this posting.
To sum it up…from August 1st until October 8th of last year, I lost 16 kilos…thats 35 pounds! And I did that by just changing my eating habits, almost NO exercise what-so-ever! I stopped this manner of eating (I can’t call it detox really because a detox has a start and a finish…) when I found out I was pregnant, mainly to reintroduce dairy for Nell’s sake!
In a nutshell, this lifestyle means that I’m only allowed to eat chicken and fish, no diary (except for natual, probiotic yogurt), no sugar, no caffiene, and no wheat or gluten. It sounds very restrictive, but it is extremely easy and I swear I feel better after just a few days of being on the "program" again! The only thing is that you have to give up all your store bought sauces, etc. I was really startled when I started this last year and actually started reading the labels on things…there is sugar in EVERYTHING sold at the grocery store!!!
So far Lars and I have been doing Joshi since Tuesday of last week and I’m already feeling 100% better and am watching the numbers drop on the scale every single morning! Definitely check out this book if you’re interested in taking charge of your life and just feeling better about what you’re putting in your body! I saw changes in my waistline, my skin, my hair, energy levels and my attitude! And I’m looking forward to reeping the benefits of the diet all over again…this time I’m making it my permanent lifestyle…GO JOSHI!
