Something New

In the never ending quest to loose weight, I am attempting something new.

Since I last wrote, I was only able to loose 15 pounds and keep off 5.  Sad, but true.

I decided to attempt something out of the box, for me anyway, and work to combine a few things into a plan I'm designing for me. To that end, I have searched the 'net and came across a program called IsAgenix.  After some debate I decided to purchase a 30 day supply.

The IsAgenix plan, in a nutshell, is replace two meals with their protein dink 2X a day. You also take Ionix Supreme, snacks and a metabolism booster.  1 once a week you do a deep cleanse.

Today is day one.  So this morning I took one Natural Accelerator- the metabolism booster.  No issue here- it is a capsule.

Then I followed the directions and mixed up a 6 oz Ionix Supreme.  I have the 'natural fruit ' flavored.  It is the most foul tasting stuff I have ever had. Or so I thought.

This was followed by IsaLean Shake. Today's flavor is Creamy dutch Chocolate. THIS is the MOST foul I have ever had. You mix it either in a blender or in the shaker that comes with your first order. It is very thick and gelatinous. The taste is not anywhere near anything I would call chocolate.  And I have two canisters to consume over the next month. I can see there may be an issue......

There are other flavors of the protein drink that I will try over the next few days.

Since starting this morning I have noticed one thing. It apparently has a diuretic quality as I'm peeing up a storm...

I'm telling myself ONLY a month- then I will 're-feed' via Mayo clinic diet.  I'm using the IsAgenix as a jumpstart to get some results quickly.  If the rest of the food is as noxious as the ones today, it should be easy....

UPDATE:  I gave up on the IsAgenix after a day and a half.  It is, without a doubt the worst I have ever eaten. Kudos to anyone that uses this product. NEVER again for me. If  you are one using this, I have almost a whole month available for sale.....

A new "job"

Most of you know that I struggle with my weight as so many people do.  I've tried numerous 'gimmicks' and ideas and none seem to work. Too restrictive to keep to it, too difficult to follow or any number of many other excuses. I've done a lot of research- as I'm sure you have- and it comes down to the same things.  One, there is no "magic pill" that you can take and melt off the weight. Two, long term meaningful and safe weight loss means a lifestyle change. Three, changes can only be brought about by changing your mind set. And four, it is a full time job-at least in the beginning- to accomplish those goals. For me, I came to item number three first. I've approach the mark of being upwards of a hundred pounds overweight. While I carry it 'well', I'm still way too heavy. This brings me to number two on my list. Time for a lifestyle change. This doesn't mean I will stop enjoying the things I want, but I will learn to limit ...

day 15

A stressful day today- puppies started arriving at 4 AM. the first was still born. 5 healthy babies came after that. Upshot is that my eating for the day was all over. Drank extra coffee since up earlier then usual. Not typically an issue for most people but I use half and half and sugar in mine- so I counted it. Didn't eat 'real' food until about 2:30. Grabbed a bologna sandwich (two pieces of bread and 2 oz bologna is 9 points folks) Had shrimp and veggies with a bit of pasta for dinner. Ended up with 4 points rolling over into today and now am up to 50 points for my weekly's. So, in all not bad. Again, it really comes down to planning ahead. When I plan and prepare I do great. then these larger challenges pop up, I find that I respond emotionally rather than logically. But I WILL get there.

re-boot 101

As  you  have probably figured out by now, I struggle with weight loss. Like millions of people, I start out with good intentions but quickly return to my life-long habits of eating and a sedentary lifestyle. Like you, I've tried many fad diets, searched for the 'magic pill' and more to no avail, even though I knew, in the back of my mind, that those didn't work. I also know what the winning combination is, even though I don't like the real answer. The answer is simple. eat less, burn more calories. We have to take in a negative amount of calories (units of energy) then our body needs. I ran across an article that said to loose one pound we have to burn 3,500 calories. Considering that most of us consume between 2,500 - 3,000 a day this could be problematic. The same article said, and this was kind of an epiphany moment for me, (paraphrased here) Rather then tying to loose a pound a day a more reasonable approach is a pound a week. To accomplish this, you need...
