I am running out of ideas as to how to shed some pounds – frankly I don’t understand why I’m having so much trouble losing weight, especially because I am particular about what I eat and put into my body; my part of the fridge is often stocked full with vegetables and the only occasion where I would consume chicken, or any other meat/poultry for that matter is when it is served to me by the cook. I do treat myself occasionally with guilt-inducing meals and snacks, but generally I eat healthy. I know I know – its not all about what I eat, but even though I’m not the most active person there is I do exercise regularly. I make sure I fit in a light/medium intensity workout twice a day consisting of squats, lunges, push ups, leg lifts and interval training. Not to mention that I also cycle to (almost) everywhere I need to be so I’m not entirely a slacker who sits on her bum all day. Even when I’m sat at my desk 90% of the day, I do take 5 minutes off to squeeze in a super short workout.
I’m eating right and I’m moderately active yet I feel as if I’m gaining weight with every passing day, and although it hasn’t been possible for anything to completely engulf my self-esteem since I aged into my 20s – I can’t say that it hasn’t affected my confidence, regardless. So I’m resorting to a method I’ve tried and tested; the Master Cleanse. The last time I did this cleanse was back in 2011 for 10 days, and contrary to my initial reservations; the cleanse kept me energised, focused and at the same time helped flush out toxins from my body, aiding in weight loss. I planned on attempting a full 40-day cleanse, but considering that in the next 30 days I would be incredibly busy preparing for the final submission of my undergraduate course – I will be aiming for 10 days and adding on to that if required.
I already have every necessary ingredient in order to go on the cleanse, so I will start as soon as…
Now.
I’ll try to update progress (if there is any) photos just to show whether it’ll have the same/less/better effect it had on me a couple of years back.
