Detox Dieting

One night I was browsing J's photo album in FB and almost choked on my drink. She was a whopping 90kg before she got married. And she managed to slim down to 56kg for her wedding! Kudos to her for being able to achieve that. But during pregnancy, she put on another 27kg and still wasn't looking good after 6mths of delivery. That was around 85kg and the J now is around 68kg.
After chatting with her the other day, I got to know that that she signed for a slimming proogramme with a slimming centre before her wedding. But it was too much work and money and her weight yoyo-ed once she stopped the programme.
It was after an advice from a friend that she went through the detox dieting programme that made her lose 10kg within a month. She is currently taking a break from it and will continue again soon to finally achieve her ideal pre-preg weight.

And so i was curious and I probed more into what this detox programme was about. I actually like the fact that this programme not only help to shed some weight but also to improve the complexion and overall well-being.- which, I need badly! Morever I was just looking at shedding a few kgs to look better in dresses ..hahaha. (Yeah too bad I m not blessed with good genes that I put on weight even when I have already stopped taking dinner and cut back on starch! It's so unfair!)

So, I was very keen to try it out but the determination has to play a big part here. I'm a food lover, this would mean a torture to me . The main diet of this programme is mainly fruit juices and fluids. It's just like starting all over as a baby . It involves a week of just juices for breakfast, lunch and dinner.(no kidding!)  Then followed by introducing healthy soup to replace the juices for the 2nd and 3rd week and slowly moving onto solids like tofu and greens.Base on her advise, I should be able to achieve my desired weight in less than a month's time.
Hmmm...we shall see....I have not really embarked on this plan...let me get my mental adjusted first by starting with replacing a few meals with the juices cos'I know good food has always been my weakness, hence Im not going to be too hard on myself....but I really really salute to J's determination.
