Well, my 3-day fruit flush is officially over and I'm happy to say that I completed without cheating......not even once. I weighed myself the day before I started and then again this morning after I finished. I'm down 8 pounds!! I really thought I was reading the scale wrong because it seemed too good to be true. But my scale doesn't lie. I do actually feel better as a result of my three day efforts and it's more than just that number on the scale. I feel a huge sense of accomplishment and I think it's really changed how I look not only at food, but my eating habits in general.
The weren't many downsides of this diet for me. I did miss drinking coffee but like I said before, it wasn't unbearable. The other part I missed was running. It is not recommended that you do any sort of exercise while on this diet because you're drastically cutting your caloric intake and there's no way for you to replenish those extra burned calories. I don't suggest going first thing the next morning like I just did either. By the time I got to a mile I thought I might pass out. It felt like running after having the flu for three days. No good.
I would absolutely do this again. For me, it was a great kick-start to getting my eating habits back on track and building up some will-power for rest of the holiday season. If you decide to try this, keep in mind that everyone will have different results. I certainly don't recommend this to anyone or claim that you'll have the same results that I did - but please let me know if you try it and what you think of it!
Next on the agenda - BREAKFAST!

Thanks for the great posts re: the fruit flush. Been researching personal reviews around the web and appreciate your thoughts. Was wondering which protein powder you used. Thanks! -Maria
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it! I always love getting consumer info so I like to share my own as well. When I did the fruit flush I used just a generic Whey & Soy Protein powder that had 25g of Protein in it. I couldn't find it for a while after that so I've since switched to the Jillian Michaels protein powder and have really liked it.
