Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks

Drew Carey said, “Eating Crappy food isn’t a reward—it’s a
punishment!” I’d have to totally agree with him. Also, I’d add to that:
punishing yourself for something someone else did to you is like “drinking
poison and hoping the other person dies,” which is a quote from Joyce Meyer
relating to forgiveness. Either way, self-punishment is not the way to lose
weight or to garner self-esteem. I tried a new diet that I devised, and I lost
a much-needed 10.5 pounds in just about 2 weeks. Here’s what I did.
(Just a note: I have tried many other forms of dieting. If
you have been following my blog, you know. But tailor making the diet for you
is important. I think the Paleo diet was close, but had too much protein and
fat for my body. I tended to feel a little sick to my stomach. On my new diet,
my stomach has actually felt great, even when I’m getting hungry. I’ve come to
not overreact when I feel tinges of hunger. I wait until I’m feeling hunger in
a healthy way now, before I actually eat.)
Start the day: I weigh in every morning before the day
begins to keep an accurate, stable analysis. After I get up, I assess if I’m
even hungry. Sometimes I’m not, and I’ll wait to eat for an hour, but not
longer. I have taken to only drinking about a ¼ cup of coffee because of the
acid content. I like a little caffeine, but not enough to make my stomach sour.
I have been eating only one cup of steel cut oats in the
morning. I make them myself once a week and freeze one-cup portions in the
freezer. I defrost them in the morning. If I can eat them with just a little 2%
milk and no agave nectar, I do that. If I feel as if I need a bit of sugar (at
first, I needed some sweet), I added less than a tablespoon of agave or coconut
sugar. Sometimes, like today, I didn’t feel as if I wanted the entire cup, so I
put it back in the plastic container for another day. Oats don’t go bad for a
while if they are refrigerated.
A note: I have found that weaning off of agave nectar and
salt on food has added an ingredient to dieting I hadn’t thought of: the less
savory or sweet something is, the less desire you have to eat beyond your
hunger. So, without sugar, I’m able to gauge when I’m simply full without the
added ingredient of desiring the rest because it just taste so good and sweet
or savory.
With less food in my stomach, I am more apt to want to
work out before lunch. I have been doing the Step Machine or a yoga workout
focusing on my abs almost everyday. If I wait to workout till the evening, I find
it harder to get motivated. You have to try and get at least 30-40 minutes of
exercise in each day, or the food portion of the diet will be minimized, at
best. “If you put energy in, use that energy.”
For lunch, I have been eating steamed broccoli, carrots,
onion, and kale with a teaspoon of melted, real butter. With this meal, you may
want to add a bit of salt (using different kinds of salt from various parts of
the world is very good for your body—of course, you have to buy them at Whole
Foods or a specialty store), because you actually want to eat the entire
portion of vegetables, even though it appears to be a lot of food. I have an
entire cereal bowl of veggies, parboiled, and not cooked to death. Make sure
they are still a bit crunchy. Honestly, I had no idea how much I enjoyed
vegetables until now. I have been craving them every day. I actually look
forward to the part of my meal I usually would save for last. I eat no added
protein for lunch.
I have a piece of fruit or a low fat yogurt for a snack.
At dinner, I eat the most protein. I have about a
palm-sized portion or more of some kind of protein, tender and not so fatty. Also,
I may eat a very small portion of a carb, such as rice or potato or gluten free
pasta (I am totally gluten free now, which I believe has helped as well) and a
salad—everyday a salad. For dessert, if I’m still hungry and want that little
something extra, I eat a dessert-sized ramekin of Jello (sugar free is okay).
At night, for a snack I have a couple of different things.
I have been rolling up a piece of lowfat cheese in a piece of ham. I may eat a
small bag of popcorn (this tends to be my go-to, because it’s crunchy and fills
me up). Eating the protein and popcorn together is okay. I have done both and
still lose weight. Also, in times of great desire (especially at the beginning
of the diet), I had one, gluten free cookie.
I guarantee you that, if you stay on this diet and do the
exercise, you will lose weight! I have put some of my clients on this same diet,
and we are all kicking butt! Get
healthy. Also, if you need some subconscious motivation, go to my web store and
for $3, download the weight loss MP3 and listen to it daily for a week. Bo
