I actually finished the 6 day Duigin detox diet (don't laugh, i know it was only 6 days but there were NO carbs at all!).
I lost 4kg of toxic bloat and did end up with a flat stomach (well mainly upper stomach, still have to work on the below belly button area) and in clothes I look totally flat! My muffin top has diminished as well.
Duigan reckons you get heaps on energy but I disagree. Totally no carbs drained me. So now I'm keeping on this lifetyle way of eating but adding my multigrain oats made on water in the morning and a complex carb an hour or so before my workouts. I'm also adding avocado, nuts, flaxseed oil/olive oil as well. And, don't forget my skim soy capaccino once a day!
I went to a family christening yesterday and back at the reception the food was never ending. So I chose a chicken breast which I took the skin off, salad no dressing and for desert I ate fresh fruit (the choices for desert were ridiculously sumptuous). I drank 3 bottles of water so I was the designated driver.
I felt great. So my main focus is clean and lean foods only and only 2/3 serves of clean complex carbs a day. I'm hitting the gym this week (I tried last week but felt awful on the first night because of the no carb thing and I had to keep my energy for my work).
Have great week everyone!
good for you! I bet you are glad it's over now! Good luck this week at the gym :)
ReplyDeleteWell done be you feel great now. Hope your PL arrives soon, the only thing I could suggest is to journal when you can because you do forget (well I do lol) when it arrives it's not such a big job to catch up.
