Yeppers I lost 15 pounds in about 2 1/2 weeks...I know, I even suprised myself. I thought when I got on the Wii fit scale it was going to tell me I had gained weight. I was in shock, and I knew what exactly broke my plateau. Eating 4- 6 apples a day. What??? you are probably thinking right about now, but that is exactly it. After hitting a Plateau I was telling my friend Mary about my problem, she told me that her doctor says that eating 6 apples a day will boost the metabolism. I figured why not try it? It's natural, it won't kill me. So I did. I started off by eating three apples a day, sometimes 6, it depends. I always did it before a meal, I felt fuller faster, nice. It is High in fiber, 5g of Fiber per medium apple. Nice I exceeding the daily recommended amount of fiber, but I'm also meeting Bob Harpers challenge of eating 40g of fiber a day with the apples and all of the whole grains and fruits and vegetables I eat. Please also realize I exercise a lot. too. I'm going to give you an idea of what I do and maybe it will inspire you to do it on your own.
Exercise:
3-5 a week I randomally sprint for 2.1 miles each day.
2 times a week Biggest Loser Powersculpting
3 times a week Cardio Max BL
1 day a week recovery workout (walking, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing) Something fun and different.
Average day of eating:
Dietary Fiber-DF
Breakfast: 2 apples 10g DF, 1peice of multi-grain bread (5g DF) with peanut butter (3g DF), and watermelon 3g DF = 21g DF
Lunch: Turkey wrap, in a mutigrain tortilla,(5g DF), 2 apples (10g DF), Salad (2g DF) = 17g DF
Dinner: Whole Grain pasta, (6g DF), Sam's tomato sauce (3g DF), 2 Apples (10g DF) = 19g DF
I treated myself a couple of times to eating Cold Stone ice cream. Do you see why I was suprised I lost weight at all?? I'm thinking a High Fiber Diet will me rid of the fat, on top of exercising. I hope it does the same for you as well. Try it.
