Well day 9 of reboot, and all is going well, the weather has started to warm up again so on Friday when I start adding solids to my daily diet I will be eating lots of raw vegetables (salad) I don't want my body to start filling with toxins again, I think back to all the diets I have been on in my life and how I was setting myself up to fail every time without knowing. Something I read years ago has stuck in my brain, did you know? (said in the voice of Peter Cook) that Fat cells multiply they don't just get fatter, so when you gain weight you are increasing the number of fat cells in your body, and when you lose weight you have the same amount of fat cells they just shrink, that is why it is not recommended that you go on a diet but rather choose a healthier food choice (like raw vegetables) and this also makes sense to me that when you return to your normal eating style after losing some weight on a diet, you fatten your cells up again and now you have even more cells that are getting fatter, it is a cruel cycle and the only way I have found to change this cycle is to change my eating habits and change what I eat. When I first started the Veg Juice Fast, a lot of people said "I couldn't do that" well I didn't think I could either, but my determination and my strong desire to regain my health made me give it a go, I was surprised that it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, like they say the first step is the hardest (first 3 days) after that it is a piece of cake (broccoli), and I have never been a fan of vegetables (unless it was a potato) so I even surprised myself, I didn't even give it a second thought about what it was going to taste like, as far as I was concerned, taste wasn't the issue, I wanted to get all the macro nutrients from the vegetables into my body, so I was juicing all the vegetables that my mother tried to get me to eat, but failed, Spinach, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage just to name a few, but I was so pleasantly surprised, the juices tasted so nice, I put ginger and lemon in every juice because the health benefits are just so numerous and after the first 3 days I was actually craving my vegetable juice.
I have just returned from Forster where I had my 2nd Boost juice, my only complaint is it wasn't cold enough, when I make the juices I make sure they are really cold when we are going to drink them, so much better when they are icy cold, in fact I keep all the veg in the fridge and that ensures that I am going to get a cold juice even if I drink it straight from the juicer. That is all I have to say for today, Keep on keeping on!
