Results so far on my version of Chef AJs Ultimate Weight Loss Program

So how have I been doing since beginning with my version of Chef AJs Ultimate Weight Loss program?  Mentally, Im worlds better!  Physically, Im on the right track.

I mentioned in yesterdays post that I have had a bad relationship with food and food cravings.  This program has helped with that tremendously, along with being vigilant to not look at food blogs.  Instead, I have been enjoying reading some knitting and home improvement blogs.  Overall, I feel like I am more in-tune with my bodys needs and have consistently been eating only when truly hungry.

Since starting the program, I am down 7 lbs and have been steadily losing from week to week.  Along with actual weight loss, I have been feeling slimmer overall, as if what I have been losing has been only fat that has been holding on for a while.  My clothes have been fitting better, even to the point that one of my favorite pairs of jeans were too lose even after a wash and dry.  I think that I still have a good 20-30 lbs to lose before I get within a comfortable healthy weight, but I am encouraged to keep on my same path and let that happen over time.

Another physical change that I have noticed is my skin.  Since I was 15 or so, I have been dealing with acne of some sort.  Some times have been better than others, but I have always had a blemish or pimple on my face to deal with or cover up.  After starting the program, I havent had a single breakout.  As if weight loss wasnt motivation enough!  It has been so nice to use minimal makeup and to not be self conscious of my face.  I have felt more confident as a result.

One thing that has helped me a lot to stay on track is planning my weekly meals ahead of time.  By this I mean my lunches and dinners.  My snacks and veggies for breakfast change up daily depending on what veggies and fruit I have on stock.  For lunches and dinners, I have been batch cooking many of my essentials including brown rice, baked sweet potatoes, as well as soups and chilis.

For brown rice, I cook it once a week in my pressure cooker, generally making 8-12 cups in the end.  I leave about 2-4 cups in the fridge and freeze the rest in 2 cup portions in baggies.  Over the next week, I pull out and defrost what is needed.  Kevin eats quite a bit of rice although he is not following my same plan, so we go through my stock pretty regularly.

The sweet potatoes I either bake 4-6 at a time and store them in the fridge until I need them, or I have been taking raw potatoes to work and baking them in our toaster oven in a pinch.  My sweet potatoes are generally my favorite food within a day.  Often I chop them up and add them to my soup or chili, eat them plain by themselves, or top them with a vegetable or bean based sauce (like Chef AJs Yummy Sauce).

The chilis and soups I have been making include my favorite Three Bean Chili, Summer Vegetable Corn Chowder, Potato Leek Soup, Mexican Pinto Bean Soup, and Creamy Broccoli Soup.  The nice thing about most chilis and soups is that my husband will eat them, so I dont have to worry about his meals very much.

Thats all for now folks.  Ill be coming back later next week with a few more posts about some fun traveling, crafts, and home improvements we have been doing.  See you next time! :)

Health and Happiness,

Amy

The 3 Week Diet Plan Review – Is Brian Flatt’s Weight Loss Program Worth It

We always get lots of promises on how following a diet plan will help us to lose some pounds. The 3 Week Diet Plan by Brian Flatt is no different. You may want to ask if it’s possible to burn off some pounds and have that great shape you’ve ever dreamed of by following the program.

Hey Daniel here, and welcome to my uncensored 3 week diet review. I bought the program myself and have gone through it all the way down. Here I’ll share all the facts about this diet plan.

Is It Really Possible To Lose Up To 23 Pounds In Just 21 Days?

Answer: Yes, it’s possible. I have done it myself and so I can say without doubt, that this is absolutely achievable.

Daniel
That’s Me
I personally lost 30 lbs within 2 month and could keep it off. Honestly, I didn’t follow the 3 week diet plan to lose all that weight. When I started my weight loss journey, I did my own research and based on that I created a plan for me. My own diet plan, was about the same as the 3 week diet plan. I completely changed my eating habits, reduced my calorie intake, started eating more proteins, did drink loads of water instead of sugared drinks and I integrated some fasting days. This is more or less the same plan as the 3 week diet plan.

I also started doing workouts (from the Old School New Body Program) 3 times a week and each workout session was only around 30 minutes, just like it is with this plan, if you also do the workouts.

You could do the same on your own and you can successfully lose weight too. I personally would recommend you invest in a program, like this one. It makes it much easier to get started (believe me) and you get everything you need. Plus you can save a lot of time, because you don’t have to do any research and you also don’t need to create your own meal plans. All that is already included within the 3 week diet plan.

How the 3 Week Diet Program Helps You Burn Fat

The Three Week Diet is divided up into several distinct parts.

1. The Diet: the diet area of the 3 Week Diet is just that-- diet. It is composed of 3 phases (each phase being 1-week long). During your initial week on the diet, you will likely see a drop of weight in the neighborhood of 10 lbs. It will give you all the info on how you can lose up to one pound of body fat (or more) every day, simply by foods you ingest and dont eat. The diet plan requires some determination and short-term changes to your eating habits but I promise you that if you can make it past the initial week of this diet, you will be in total charge of your weight for the rest of your life. As a matter of fact, lots of folks have said that after finishing Phase # 1 of the three week Diet, they felt like they could do anything.

2. The Workouts: one of the reasons people fail in their diets is because the workouts used to succeed are just too much for most people to take on. This is not the case with the 3 Week Diet. The Three Week Diet workouts are created to burn fat and get you into great shape in about 20-minutes just a few times weekly. While you can reduce weight quickly on the diet alone, a quality workout like the one in the 3 week diet plan, can nearly double your fat loss results. The Three Week Diet workout program is broken down into 2 separate workouts. One is for those who prefer to work out at their local fitness center and the other is a home workout program using just body weight and the one single most valuable piece of equipment. No matter which of the workouts you choose, youll find that they are, easily, the very best fat-blasting exercises you will ever see!

3. Supplements: The supplement report provides a look at some of the most popular diet pills being used today. These will include a review of the supplements not included in the Three Week Diet itself
Motivation & Mindset: the motivation report contains important information that I have used on my clients in the past. There are some really outstanding tips, secrets and tricks to losing weight and keeping the weight off.

By the end of the diet, youre going to have a new outlook on how weight is lost and youre going to have complete control over your body weight for the rest of your life. Whatever your dreams are, the 3 Week Diet system will help you reach them!
