How I lost 57 pounds in less than 4 months.
How I lost 57 pounds in less than 4 months, and, I ate as much as I wanted!
I went to a doctor and paid him a lot of money to help me lose weight, but I’m going to share with you exactly how I did it for free.
The doctor is a family practitioner and nutrition specialist that uses homeopathic as well as traditional medicines. The first visit he told me I was going to go "cold turkey" and give up a few things:
1. No sodas
2. No coffee / tea
3. No fruit juice
4. No alcohol
5. No milk
I told him it would kill me!
He did give me an vitamin IV drip to relax me the first night but it was not easy for the first week or 10 days. I had a headache for at least a week because of the caffeine withdrawal.
Some vitamins were suggested to take as well :
1. Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5)
2. Vitamin C 1000 mg per day
3. Evening Primrose Oil
Dietary restrictions:
1. No cow’s milk products at all - use mocha mix in the morning
2. Limit fruit intake to 1 serving a day in the morning
3. No dried fruit
4. No sweets
5. Water only as a beverage
6. Limit bread because of yeast
The diet was planned to eliminate sugar cravings that make you hungry and yeast in the body. I got sick of drinking water, so I would buy Calistoga sparkling mineral water for something different. There are also flavored sparkling waters with no sugar or anything else in them.
So what did I eat? Anything I wanted with no cheese or sour cream on it. If I went to Taco Bell I would get a tostada or taco without it. I ate french fries instead of a baked potato. A lot of meals were prepared by firing up the grill and cooking steaks, skinless chicken breast, and beef, pork, or chicken kabobs. The kabobs are great tasting and and easy to prepare.
Even if you are cooking a steak you can make vegetable kabobs. I make them with red, yellow, orange, green bell peppers, onion, whole mushrooms, and a few slices of yellow or green squash. Another way to cook potatoes is to slice them into rounds then spray then with Pam cooking spray on both sides and sprinkle seasoned salt. Bake it in the oven or cook on the grill.
This diet made me not feel as hungry and restored my energy levels. I also slept much better at night and it eliminated the mid afternoon yawning. This method not only makes you lose lots of weight, but it also detoxifies your body.
If this is not a diet you can commit to, the other way I have lost weight with is very simple but slower. I have lost 15-20 lbs in a month or so using this method:
1. Get yourself off of caffine (sodas, coffee, tea) and drink herbal tea and caffine free drinks instead.
2. Stop drinking alcohol
3. Eat what you want during the day and don’t eat after 3 pm
4. In the evening about 8-9 pm I would eat a Yoplait yogurt (it feels like you are cheating but your not)
5. Get plenty of sleep and take a Benedryl to relax if needed
My Energy Secret:
If you are dragging during the day DON’T use energy drinks! They are not good for you and contain lots of caffine and junk. If you want more energy take a Vitamin B Complex tablet. It will not make you jittery and nervous feeling like an energy drink that makes you crash later.
This is what worked for me and is not intended to be medical advice. Please contact your doctor before starting this or any diet and using herbal / dietary supplements.
