How I’ve Lost 11 Pounds In 15 Days!

May 15, 2012 by Traci

Have you ever been stuck?  Stuck at that certain weight for months and months!  That was me.  I grew more and more frustrated each time I got on the scale.  I asked the Lord to help me and He reminded me that what works for my body is ridding my diet of all the extra sugar and grains.  I also have eliminated most dairy and corn products.
So far I’ve lost 11 pounds in 15 days!  

So what in the world do I eat?  Food.  Real food.  

Eggs.
Tons of veggies.
Fruits.
Nuts.
Peanut butter.  Oh how I love thee peanut butter.
Chicken.
Fish.
Burgers.


I also incorporated a dietary supplement of Fish Oil and Caltrate (Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D).

Bing badda boom!  That’s it!  I also don’t eat after 8PM and I try and eat every few hours (6 small meals/snacks a day).

I know what you are thinking.  I could never do that!  Trust me you can!  If I can do it, so can you!  I have the biggest sweet tooth around and I’ve been known to down a bag of chips or cookies in one sitting.  So how have I done it?


Eating this way on a consistent basis will cut your cravings.  It levels out your blood sugar and your body is satisfied with eating this way.  There are many times I’m not even hungry and have to remind myself to eat something.  Caaaaaaarazy!


Try it?  The first 3 days is the hardest, but once you get past that you will see a HUGE difference!  Try it for 30 days.  


This part of the Whole 30 Program has helped me stay on track:  


“It is not hard. Don’t you dare tell us this is hard. Quitting heroin is hard. Beating cancer is hard. Drinking your coffee black. Is. Not. Hard. You won’t get any coddling, and you won’t get any sympathy for your “struggles”. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE not to complete the program as written. It’s only thirty days, and it’s for the most important health cause on earth – the only physical body you will ever have in this lifetime.

Don’t even consider the possibility of a “slip”. Unless you physically tripped and your face landed in a box of doughnuts, there is no “slip”. You make a choice to eat something unhealthy. It is always a choice, so do not phrase it as if you had an accident. Commit to the program 100% for the full 30 days. Don’t give yourself an excuse to fail before you’ve even started.”
SOME OF THE BENEFITS I’VE SEEN ALREADY:
-better, sound sleep.
-hardly any pms, mood swings, etc.
-clarity of mind.
-weight loss.
-clearer skin.
-increased energy.
-increased desire of all life’s joys.
-no more depression.
