So you have probably seen a few posts along the way about me wanting to shift some weight, well i failed miserably each time and i thought that writing it on my blog would make me determined to keep it up, but that was a huge fail! and just left me feeling even more low about the way i looked. I have tried every diet out there and none of them seemed to work or maybe i was just not in that frame of mind! So one day scolling through the mindless rants of people on my Facebook news feed i kept seeing people where signing up to Juice Plus and seemed to be getting very good results, i thought i would jump in and sign up too as i am a sucker for anything that will help. The concept of Juice Plus is that instead of having an actual breakfast and lunch you swap for a shake which are full of vitamins then in between shakes you have two snacks, two to 3 litres of water and a healthy meal for dinnertime. I thought i was going to be mega hungry as it didn't sound like a lot and i love my food hence my weight problem, but suprisingly i am left feeling full, so thought why not give it a go i have nothing else too lose, well quite abit actually!
Once i was signed up and eagerly waiting for my shakes to arrive i started to detox and cut out all the rubbish that i would normally consume fizzy juice being my biggest weakness i may add, and started to exercise more and really gave it my all, after my first week on detox my shakes arrived and was excited to try them and i must say they do taste really nice and come in chocolate and vanilla flavours to which you can also add fruit as well. This is my third week on Juice Plus and i have already lost just under a stone! And that is with me having a couple of naughty cheats but i was still pleased with that, i know this may not be everyone's cup of tea and there will be people who will be negative about it but i personally like it and it works for me and also makes me to stop over eating, now i eat clean and make every meal from scratch so i know what is going into my body it has made a huge difference and i can feel the beginnings of my waist forming which has been gone for a really long time!
The thing i like most about Juice Plus apart from losing the weight obviously is that you learn to eat all good foods and no processed foods which we should be doing anyway and gradually cut out your shake altogether until you are just eating really healthily plus my kids seem to be loving all the home cooked meals too so it's a win win all round for me so much so that i have decided to become a distributor and help other people just like me to feel good about themselves the way i now feel about myself! I still have a long way to go to get to my goal weight but i know now that this is possible and i will get to where i want to be.
What kind of diets have you tried or are on? Would you consider trying Juice Plus?
