Well, that’s it. I’ve done my almost three weeks of the no dairy/grain/sugar diet. It’s over, phew.
I wasn’t perfect. There may have been a few ‘whoopsie’ moments involving jaffa cakes, falafels and possible even a doughnut but all and all I didn’t do too badly.
And the verdict?
What I like about this diet is that it is uncomplicated. I feel free to stuff my face with meat, fruit or veg and so I don’t have to worry about counting or weighing. I found it quite easy to eat out on as there is normally an meat and veg option, I just either change the grain sides or leave them.
The downside is that it is very restrictive and, if you’re anything like me there will be moments where you falter. I’m guessing it’s also probably not very good for me in the long term or sustainable for long term weight control. The good news is my buddy Sarah’s going to help me fix my diet after I’m done binging in Spain :-).
I did it though and I achieved what I wanted to. For three weeks I no longer felt like I’d been hit by a truck come mid-afternoon which tells me clearly all the junk I was eating was affecting my energy levels. I also lost a whopping 3 kg/ 6.6lbs in three weeks which means I can don my bikini this weekend feeling like this:
When in reality I look a little more like this:
So now, in true me style I’m off to celebrate my new slimmer figure by eating a ton and drinking loads of beer on holiday- yay!
In the next two weeks there will still be daily posts but I’ll be a little less present and a little slower and replying to all you lovely people’s comments, apologies. A few lovely bloggers are freeing me up a little by doing some fantastic guest posts. Be sure to swing by, check them out and leave them some comment love.
Hasta pronto, amigos!
