I'm currently cooking a weeks' worth of food for my cousin who is desperate to lose weight, spending a small fortune on a Personal Trainer and various supplements that don't seem to be having any effect. Quite the opposite - she's gained a stone in 6 months. Having said this, this could be muscle, but the calipers don't lie. So we're tackling her diet with a week of no carbs (apart from a few slices of rye bread and a handful of oats here and there), no sugar, no alcohol, and no meat. She's to drink 2 litres of water a day as well as a mid morning and mid afternoon juice. Day Example:Breakfast - 1 slice of toasted Rye Bread with Almond Nut Butter and Orange slices
Mid Morning Juice - Kiwi, Apple, Pear and Broccoli Florets
Lunch - Red Cabbage with crumbled Feta Cheese, Apple and Sunflower Seeds with a Wholegrain Mustard and Lemon Juice dressing
Mid Afternoon Juice - Cranberries, Apple, Carrot and Ginger
Supper - Cauliflower and Red Lentil Dahl with Spinach and a sprinkling of Parsley
I do hope this works. Eating so many vegetables she can't not feel better, cleansed and with so much fibre she can surely only get rid of the toxins preventing her fat cells from breaking down...surely! Obviously I want this to work to prove to my loved ones that this really is the way to get results, but more than anything I want this to give her the happy boost she is so in need of right now. Keep you posted on her progress...
