An instructor in Zumba Congressional mentioned that she never eat rice for the past eight (8) years of her life. As expected, as i am a desperate to loss weight, i , again tried not to eat rice. Fortunately, for 3 days now, rice is no longer in my plate.
Unfortunately, i cannot start with my lemonade diet, as i am munching bread and fruits in between of lemonade.
Biguerlai may not really good to me, as it always give me headache.With regard to cravings, i have so many, that i do believe now that,mere thinking of food, can add calories. ( been in diet for a week and my weight is still the same)
It is really hard to diet when my mind only thinks food ( even while typing this). But it gives me determination to go on, everytime i think that i am still 52kls( 2kls stays in my tummy) ..still far from my ideal 45kls.Maybe someday, i can strictly follow lemonade diet, but for now, i guess, it is enough that i did not gain weight for one week.
As part of my " project lemonade diet" , i ate little for a day or two as part of the breaking phase . Then when i felt that i could start the fasting, i drank the biguerlai laxative tea as part of my preparation., on the eve of my supposedly "day 1" of fasting. Unfortunately, when morning came i was suffering from headache and stomach discomfort that i could hardly get up from bed. To appease such discomfort, i ate one (1)piece of hard boiled egg( fasting,huh!) and drank one glass of lemonade with honey.
Biguerlai laxative tea
My initial ingredients were lemonade and unprocessed honey, instead of Maple, since we have several bottles of honey and i don't like to spend extra money for the Maple syrup( just being frugal, hehe )
That same day was also my first day of Zumba class together with Pinky ( mother of my daughter's classmate ) and Che( who is pregnant, our audience) . As ignorant as i am, i was not able to bring water ( this is really important) and extra comfortable clothes ( i brought office clothes, not so comfortable) .
Zumba exercise..
Zumba indeed was a very exciting exercise, in just one hour, i felt that i am one pound sexier lost weight unfortunately, my headache continued that my focused was distracted and made me a bit devastated ,FYI --I paid Php 300.00 for Zumba session and felt that i was not able to utilize every minute of it.
After our Zumba session, i drank my lemonade, and true indeed, i didn't feel hungry, simply because i have'nt heard my stomach growling , but the headache was still there.
As genius as i am, i remedied my headache by eating lechon cebu and lots of rice, drank biguerlai afterwards. My dinner consists of two sunny side up eggs ( fave) and one spoon of rice( so much for fasting)
here comes Lechon Cebu.......
Fortunately, after a good night sleep and a little discomfort due to biguerlai, i still feel headache but not so much before.
I guess, no gain really if there is no pain. But i still have a 12pieces of lemonade, 10bags of biguerlai laxative tea and lots of honey hence, expect that i will still try lemonade juice with honey, but i am not so sure if i could call it a diet.
After eating lunch, i saw our secretary squeezing half of lemon on her glass of water, she explained that it will immediately dissolve the fats that she have eaten. As curious as i am, I immediately googled the truth on her statement and was totally shocked when i saw how popular the LEMONADE DIET is, that even Beyonce, Gina Lopez, Lucy Torres to name a few,had taken it.
Accordingly, Lemonade Diet needs only Lemon, grade B Maple Syrup( can be found at Healthy Options ) and a dash of Cayenne Pepper( MCcormick), which are pretty easy to find and reasonably cheap, compared to other detox ingredients.Those who have taken this diet swore the great effect and " no grouchy" feeling of this diet. They even claimed that the maple syrup will give energy, while the cayenne will dissolve fats and the lemon has all the nutrient that our body needs.
As i am truly convinced by the positive effect of the lemonade diet, i decided to give it a try. I know, my body will not take it easy, but this kind of diet promises a thorough cleansing of my insides, which will be good for the Liver, since i am Hepa B inflicted, herbal and other meds are "no" no" to me and to my liver.
The diet requires a breaking up stage, where one person should take orange juice and soup on the first day and orange juice only on the second day, and on the third day, the lemonade diet will start.
Honestly, i have no intention of finishing the 10day diet, but a try of 2-3 days will really make difference in my body., and my lemonade fast will start tomorrow, as i will buy oranges and lemonade tonight.
