It’s the Diet, I Can No Longer Deny It
// 7.9.08 // Filed under: Thriving
For years I’ve classified myself as a “foodie.” I love to enjoy food. It’s an emotional, sensual, social experience. I’ve told myself many times that if I am to lose weight, it will be through exercise, not food restriction. My husband scoffed, but I continued to deny that my eating habits were the cause of my sluggishness, depression, fatigue and weight gain.
Today, I officially say to PHAT Daddy, “You were right.” (He loves this.)
It’s day seven of my nine-day Isagenix cleansing diet. The first three days I lost 5.2 pounds. The next three days I only lost 0.3 pounds which kinda pisses me off because I am eating only the best food and exercising. Still, 5.5 pounds in 6 days is pretty exciting. But the absolute best part of this diet is the way I feel.
I am needing less sleep and I wake up easily, feeling energetic – and I’ve had no coffee for seven days. I am in a great mood, I am productive, and I feel less stressed.
I’m very curious to see if my new-found energy is the result of a “cleaner” diet (no caffeine, very little sugar and processed foods), or if it hinges on the Isagenix products, which are supposed to be giving me all the vitamins, etc that I need to survive on such little food (I’m eating about 600 calories a day along with two of their shakes). I have noticed that shortly after I drink a shake, I start to sweat. So maybe some thermogenic thing going on? In any case, I’m very pleased with the results. We shall see how things go when the nine-day program is complete and I am left to diet “on my own.”
And even when Megan from Velveteen Mind goes and posts multiple photos of Double Doozies on her blog, I feel strong. Here I am giving the finger to the Double Doozie. (Photo credit: turbo binge, with my added photoshop skillz.)

I give the finger to the Double Doozie every time I go to the mall. And then I accidentally dip that finger into the icing and DAMN THAT TASTES GOOD!!!

I’m very interested in this! I had my doctor tell me the same thing about my diet.
I’d like to do a modified raw foods diet.
Keep me posted!
And congrats on hanging in there with it!

Any idea how this compares to a Nutrisystem type diet? I need to lose some weight myself and was thinking of starting something soon.
I don’t know that I could make it through 2 days of fasting, but I’ve reached the point where I can’t deny that my diet’s to blame for how awful I feel all the time, too. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease on Monday and haven’t had a bite of gluten since that night. Amazing how just 2 days have made such a huge difference in how I feel.
We really are what we eat!

I was reccomended to go on a diet since I’m not fat at all but if I want to avoid problems related with overeating I have to stop it now.
Very excellently said about the food and diet.I donâÂÂt know that I could make it through 2 days of fasting, but IâÂÂve reached the point where I canâÂÂt deny that my dietâÂÂs to blame for how awful I feel all the time, too……..

That double doozie looks good! Yum. I have always been under the impression that exercise was key and you could eat whatever you wanted as long as you went and burnt it off at the gym for an hour each day. How much/intensely were you working out?
