In reply to: dakotamel posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity I’m in the process of reading the book, it sounds complicated, not sure if I’m goimg to be able to do it, I don.t understand about the toxins, supplements […] ViewSmart move, Shanon! I did the same thing with the protein shake with berries every morning during the prep weeks. It is still my favorite meal after 8 weeks and 3 days.

Weight & Obesity 11 months agoWeek 6, Day 6 and I had a real shock this morning on the scale! It was lower than I’ve seen it in a few years! I’ve lost 20 lbs and am just amazed. I am following the program more closely and doing the morning walk first thing every day. Swiss chard and spinach are my new best friends! And I am doing better with sleep. Thanks everyone for your support!

In reply to: Susan posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Starting 5th week of advanced program. Have not lost an ounce in over 2 weeks. The only cheat I had was an extra cup of berries yesterday (with nuts) because I […] ViewSusan, losing 8 lbs has certainly been in the right direction, but I understand being disappointed when the progress each week doesn’t show on the scale. I felt the same way! I added saunas like it states on page 294 in the BBS book for toxic overload and it helped. I continue to lose about a lbs every 3 or 4 days. I also swim and do at least a…[Read more]

In reply to: Maggie posted an update in the group Sleep Problems I am about to go on the 1 week fast- is melatonin ok for sleep or is that a sedative? ViewHi Maggie! I don’t know about melatonin, but I do know that exercise works for me and has no side effects (except increased weight loss!) Good Luck!

In reply to: barb posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Last week was my 1st wk of experimenting. I added back a bit of dairy and feel as though it was a success. Very small amounts of cheese mainly. I did have […] ViewBarb! Congrats on your good work! I have lost 14 lbs. so far and now know I want to continue eating healthy for the rest of my life. I gave away 3 bags food the prep week to a neighbor and yesterday she said she wanted to give me something for it. I told her she could give me a tomato plant and today she dropped it off! So I will be growing tomatoes, too!

In reply to: Lisa senner posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity I just started the program and I am entering my 4th day. The first 2 days were very difficult. It is seeming to be a little easier now that I have a […] ViewHi Lisa! And Welcome! I am doing the Advanced plan. I have found it easy to just keep a lot of cut up vegetables ready in the fridge and canned salmon and sardines or beans ready to add to them with greens for a really fast salad. I even boil chicken breasts and cut that up for salads so I don’t have time to fret about what to eat. I cook one of…[Read more]

In reply to: Jaime posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Hi Everyone! I officially start tomorrow but did good today.
I have a fridge full of great stuff! I’m going to write out my meals for the week and promise […] View
Hi Jamie! Welcome to the plan! I never did find out what protein bars to get, so instead I keep a few hard boiled eggs in the fridge and take one with me most days and just have one and some sliced cucumbers or sliced yellow or red peppers for a snack. Sounds like you are well prepared! Good Eating!

In reply to: Gaye Gray posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity found and started reading the book…very good info and mind clearing. Makes so much sense to me, no real ”leaps of faith” in trusting blindly someone’s […] ViewWelcome, Gaye! Glad you are here! I am so happy with the results of this plan that I only regret that I didn’t start sooner! After a few days on this food, my taste buds came back to life and I now love the taste of real food. And I have eaten more salad in the last 3 weeks (and enjoyed it!) than in the last 3 years. I look forward to our…[Read more]

This number may not be jaw dropping but is a total […] ViewThank you for sharing, Susan B.! I am very happy for you! And I relate to the part about spending time preparing food. I feel somehow more connected to what I am going to eat because I really, truly, know what it is I am eating! But when I am done eating I am very satisfied and forget about food for a while and can pay attention to something else.…[Read more]

Weight & Obesity 12 months agoMonday: Week 3 Day 1. Got through a birthday party today! No damage to myself (or others!) I grabbed my Flaxseed/Blueberry shake in my large covered cup as I left my house and I took it to the party. Good thing! No food there that would nourish and love me. I drank my shake, was satisfied and forgot about anything but the 2 birthday people and my…[Read more]

In reply to: Alexandra Roznovsky posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Hi guys, I have few questions. I am currently on the fifth day of the advance plan, I started the program weighting 80.0kg (176 lbs) and this […] ViewActually, I think you are doing really well and that 4 lbs is quite an impressive weight loss for such a short amount of time. For me, coffee was always a laxative and it was a bit trial and error to figure out to drink enough water. My error was always not drinking enough.

My local market had fresh raspberries and I really, really relished each and every one as I ate it. They taste so much better now that my taste buds have come back to life. So enjoy berries!

Hi, Helen,
I think I am beginning my 13th week, which includes the 3 weeks of prep, but I am starting to lose count!!! I am following the advanced plan, but have added some other fruits and some beans in very strict amounts and times during the week. I added too many legumes during the 7th and 8th weeks after I had finished the 6th (+those 3),…[Read more]
Good to know. Do you exercise at all, Janine?
6 days each week. I walk each morning. I use weights to help strengthen and tone my shoulders and arms every other day. I want to resume trying yoga and I am actually considering joining a gym within walking distance of my home. Never wanted to join a gym before, but with problem areas that need extra attention that some of the machines might…[Read more]
