How I Lost Fat Fast In 3 Weeks With This Weight Loss Diet

Are you looking to lose weight quickly? Are you sick of all the scams out there like diet pills and infomercial products that promise the world but don’t deliver? Then I have the solution for you!

Everybody says that weight loss is an extremely difficult task that takes months and sometimes years, and that you have to eat terribly boring foods to see any results. I know for a fact that this is not true because I lost over 20 pounds in only 21 days using a secret diet I found online.

I was in the exact same situation you are in now. I was overweight, lazy, and hated my body. I didn’t feel sexy, or slim, and I hated buying new clothes because I knew I always had to buy extra large size. I had tried all the diets out there – from the low carb diet, the sugar free diet, the cabbage soup diet, the mango diet, the acai berry diet, and frankly, none of them worked for me. I had tried going to the gym regularly to exercise but honestly, when you are a full-time mother with 3 kids, who has the energy to workout every day for hours on end? Then, I discovered The 3 Week Diet and my life changed.

I was doing some searching on Google one day for “extreme diets”. You know, not the types of diets that take months of slow, boring progress, but the “rapid” diets that work fast. I came across an article by a world class nutritionist who said he had tried a program called The 3 Week Diet and was able to lose 1 lb of body fat a day for 3 weeks by following it.

I could hardly believe it. 1lb of fat per day? I didn’t think it was possible. My goal that I had been trying for years to achieve was to lose 20 pounds. And this diet was promising that I could achieve that in only 20 days! All those years of feeling frustrated and disgusted by my body would be over in an instant. I visited The 3 Week Diet and watched the video where the doctor explained how he was able to create a scientific method to burn the fat fast, without using diet pills or exercise. I had never heard someone explain a diet like this before, but everything he said made 100% sense to me.

I quickly joined The 3 Week Diet and begun the process of losing weight quickly. Day 1 of following the diet, I lost half a pound of fat. Not bad. Day 2 on the diet and I lost a massive 2 lbs of fat! By the end of the first week I had lost near 10 lbs of pure body fat. My stomach was slimmer, my butt was firmer, and I could actually fit comfortably into a nice pair of jeans!

I followed the diet for the entire course of 3 weeks, and by the end of it, I had lost a staggering 25 pounds! That was more than I had expected! Friends and family were commenting how much weight I had lost, and I was getting looks from young men half my age! I had never felt healthier or happier in my entire life. I could now wear any outfit I wanted, I felt more confident. My husband was so pleased and excited. He loved my new body and our sex life improved dramatically!

I owe it all to The 3 Week Diet. It changed my life and it allowed me to lose so much fat off my body without having to starve myself or do strenuous exercise. It was honestly so easy to follow and keep up with.

The 3 Week Diet is an extreme diet for rapid weight loss that shows you how you can lose over 20 pounds of pure body fat in just 3 weeks. Whether you want to lose weight off your belly, hips, butt, or thighs, The 3 Week Diet is fastest way to lose weight quickly without diet pills or exercise. Speed up your metabolism and discover the secret foods you need to eat to burn the fat off fast with this diet used by A list celebrities and professional athletes.

This Instant Pot and I are going to be best friends!

Hi folks!  Earlier this week, on Monday, I received one of two packages I had been waiting for: Lorna Sass Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure.  I had mentioned in a post a few weeks ago that I was looking into getting a pressure cooker and a cookbook to go along with it.  I settled on this cookbook, which was published in 1994, to start my love affair with pressure cooking because...

1.) Chef AJ recommends the book here,
2.) the reviews said that this cookbook is almost completely vegan besides occasional suggested cheese toppings that could be replaced with nutritional yeast if I really wanted,
3.) the reviews said that even non-vegetarians will love (a.k.a. my meat and potatoes husband), and
4.) most reviews raved about their favorite recipe and I wanted to TRY THEM ALL!

Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure

After spending most of Monday evening reading soaking up its recipes and tips, and fantasizing about myself with a clean kitchen and an electric pressure cooker quietly and rapidly cooking my delicious healthy food, I hopped onto my computer to check the shipment tracking on the InstantPot IP-DUO60 that I had ordered at the same time as the book.

Amazon said it hadnt even been shipped! :(  I knew it was due to arrive anytime between October 7th to the 10th, but it was the 6th and it hadnt even left the warehouse!?!  Poo poo!

After going back to work on Tuesday (I took Monday off to recover from Leavenworth, and actually ended up with a little cold to nurse), I spent all day thinking about what recipes I wanted to make out of the book and how I wished my Instant Pot would get here sooner!

Around my lunch break on Tuesday, I checked with Amazon again for the tracking.  Hopefully it had left the warehouse by now....  It said "Delivered"!  How on earth that could happen is beyond me, but it was waiting at home for me!  After a few more hours crawled by, I left work to stop at my favorite farmers stand to pick up some produce I would need, and then headed home.

I eagerly unpacked my produce and opened my lovely, large InstantPot package!

First thing I did: read the getting started directions of course, I am a woman!  Then I washed the new parts and started a quick soak on some chickpeas for a soup I was planning on making for dinner.  Normally I pre-soak my beans, but when a pressure cooker is just waiting to be used, a quick soak would have to do.

Little did I know, the pressure cooker also works to quickly quick-soak dried beans.  A normal quick soak involves bringing a pot with dried beans up to a boil for a few minutes, then allowing the beans to stand in the hot water off of the burner for 1 hour, before then cooking the beans for 2+ hours to get them edible.


A quick soak in a pressure cooker combined 1 cup of dried chickpeas (all I needed for the recipe, but it would fit more) with 3 cups of water.  I locked the lid and set the InstantPot to high pressure for 20 minutes, then allowed the pressure to come down naturally.  This took a total of about 35 minutes to quick soak, rather than 1 hour plus.  This step could also be avoided by soaking beans overnight, which I will do from now on, but this night I didnt expect my PC to be here so soon.

(Sorry, I wish I had more pictures of the process to share, but I was just too excited to get started that I forgot to grab my camera.  More pictures will be coming when I get the hang of things!)

While the beans were cooking, I prepped the ingredients for the soup, and even had time to clean up the kitchen.  After draining and rinsing the quick-soaked beans, I filled the pot with all of the ingredients for Lorna Sass Chickpea Soup Italiano.  Set the pot for 16 minutes at high pressure, then allowed the pressure to come down naturally, for a total of around 30 minutes.

During the times the pot was cooking, there were no sounds, no dreaded hissing of the pressure cooker horror stories you may have heard.  There was actually no times that I felt that it felt unsafe, which is a relief.

I had the Chickpea Soup Italiano for dinner that night and it was delicious!  I sent Kevin to work with the leftovers from the half batch the next day. (His pictures arent as pretty as mine would have been ;)).

After packing away the leftover soup, I made a half batch of Lornas Garlicy Lentil Soup.  Since lentils cook even faster than dried beans, this soup only needed 7 minutes at high pressure, with a natural pressure release.  I found that I needed to add a bit more stock at the end than it had called for, but it made for a nice thick lentil soup.  This was my lunch today and the day before, and the wonderful aroma alone may have convinced a coworker of mine to get the same pressure cooker.


Then, this morning I steamed my breakfast kale in it.  This went super quickly with only 3 minutes at high pressure and a quick release.  No pictures of this, sorry.

As you can tell, Im super giddy about my new pressure cooker.  I may have a bit of an hiatus of creating recipes for the blog as I explore how to use this new wonderful contraption, but I will keep you guys posted on how Im doing through some of my other social media accounts (see top right of blog for links).

Health and Happiness,

Amy

I thought I would share with you guys some of my favorite pins as of late...

Thai-Style Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Recipe // Dula Notes
This idea for a Thai Baked Potato Bar came from Dula Notes.
Its my turn to host ladys night on Thursday ,and how easy would it be to
bake some potatoes, cook up some peanut sauce, chop the toppings,
and have a potato bar set up?  I could also set out my Coconut Curry Hummus leftovers!

Lace cornstarch window treatment07
How perfectly lovely is this DIY lace window pane treatment?
This one is from Annabel Vita, and only requires corn starch, water, and lace.
It can be a temporary treatment that will wash off with warm water.
Brilliant!

Im dying to make a cardi with some of the yarn I got over the holidays,
but was worried I wouldnt be able to wear what I make until autumn.
 I think this little bolero from Quince & Co. would work perfect for summertime.
I love the simple texture and classic pattern!

Homemade Foundation Powder | Live Simply
I finally aquired all of the ingredients I needed from Vitacost.com
to make my own homemade foundation powder.  I followed the recipe from
Live Simply, and used Tea Tree oil as my essential oil.
I think I need to add a bit more cinnamon to my mix, but it has been
working perfectly to keep my face matte, and it smells great!

How AHH-MAZE-ING does this look?!
I love all of the Indian recipes from Vegan Richa like this cauliflower keema.

Tough Time With Weight Reduction Try Out This!

It is confusing to know what the way that is best to lose weight is. The way that is best to understand is always to try multiple techniques until you find the one that consistently produces results in the context of your lifestyle. Here are some plain things it is possible to try.

In order to lose weight, stay away from fast food. Fast food often contains amount that is large of carbohydrates that have a much higher chance of turning into fat, rather than energy. Also the content that is fat sodium content, and sugar content in lots of junk food type meals can be incredibly high. If youre in a rush and have to eat, try to find any grilled items and stay away from obviously items that are bad.

Help yourself slim down at the job by making changes to work habits that dont help your goal. Instead of gossiping in the breakroom, walk around the block or up and down the stairwell. Stay away from the vending machine by bringing healthier snacks to work. Nosh on almonds, walnuts, low granola that is fat, or celery sticks with peanut butter to help to keep hunger cravings away.

One good way to encourage you to ultimately lose weight would be to keep a couple of cute jeans which are just a little too small in your closet. They are doingnt even have to be one size too small, just a little too snug to have the ability to wear out of the house. Try them on at least once a week. You will be happy when your diligence pays off because you will look smokin in your "new" old jeans.

A great way to help you lose weight is to start using an artificial sweetener instead of sugar. Eating too much sugar can sabotage any diet. By using an sweetener that is artificial you can still sweeten your food without damaging your diet. A change that is small this is very significant.

You will need to record the calories you consume each day. Calculate your needs that are daily document how many calories you are consuming each day. Knowing how many calories you are eating compared to how exercise that is much are doing helps you adjust your eating patterns to lose excess weight.

If you are exercising to lose weight, try exercising with music. Music has a real way of making exercise easier, especially if its music you enjoy. Listening to your favorite songs on a mp3 player is a great way to get a workout through, and itll place you in a great mood.

You might need to replenish your dishes. Most of us have dishes, plates and bowls, that are much bigger than what a serving that is true must be. A dinner that is healthy an adult should fit onto a 9 inch plate. The larger the plate, the much more likely you might be to fill it up, on the amount that you actually should be consuming.

Using this advice will help you begin to see the total results you want. Visualizing can help motivate you. Try methods that are different find what realy works for you. The tips out of this article are a great way to start.
