Hello Friends,
It's been exactly 10 days since I started the 40 Day Transformation! Let me tell you about it.
As of Day 7, I was able to wear my go-to black skirt that I had grown out of in December. So that was exciting and I've also dropped a little weight already and clothes are fitting better. I don't wear shorts, not ever, not even in summer, and I haven't since 2002. But, I took my "Before" pictures in a bikini {which I will not be sharing} so I decided to throw on some shorts and a tank top to have some before pictures that I can share when it's time.
You might look at me and think that I don't need to lose weight. That might be your opinion and I appreciate it, but I actually weight more than I ever have. The scale was climbing and my body fat % needs to drop because it's in an unhealthy range. I'm literally miserable in my own skin, in a bikini, in a one-piece, in workout clothes, in regular clothes. I'm miserable and my body is begging for a change!
Since January I've been working with my Naturopathic doctor on balancing my thyroid and hormones. I've finally got things balanced but the scale kept climbing. I even have a personal trainer but the scale was still climbing and my clothes weren't fitting. Everyone agrees the answer must be my diet and nutrition. My doctor also believes that I have gluten intolerance and suggested that I avoid gluten. I've tried cutting calories, counting calories, meal prepping, grain-free, gluten-free, Whole30 and low-carb with no success.
It was sometime last year when I stumbled on a product with a promise that a trusted friend was sharing. It definitely caught my attention because it's organic, plant-based and helping people lose weight. As mentioned in my previous post, I was vegetarian in the past so trying a 40-day plant-based challenge didn't seem like a big deal. I still delayed because once I commit to something it's 110%. Therefore, committing to eating plant-based for 40-days {for me anyway} meant not going back. But that's not the same for everyone. Many people can do this and do go back. Many people repeat this program or commit to doing it yearly or every 6 months. The important part is listening to your body and following a program that you feel confident and comfortable doing. I made the decision to finally order it in May. However, I still waited to actually start because of a few planned vacations. I didn't want to be tempted and waiting for the right time to start gave me time to be fully prepared and excited for success.
Here's the deal... the day starts with Super Aminos which is the vegan protein supplement that is quickly absorbed into your muscles and gives you the energy to start your day. For breakfast, you have the Power Shake. It tastes like a delicious green tea latte. For lunch and dinner, eat organic delicious-satisfying-food. After dinner, there's a fiber drink that taste like an oatmeal cookie and a tart cherry drink that's full of antioxidants to help with inflammation and melatonin for sleep. You do this for 30 days. The last 10 days you have the Power Shake 3 times and eat all fruits and veggies. This is when the results and all your effort from the last 30 days really start showing off!
I've also added into my program a supplement called Biome Medic because it's proven to remove 74% of Glyphosate (Roundup) from your body to restore your gut health and supercharge your body's cleansing progress. People have reported better skin, no bloating and weight loss just from taking the Biome Medic alone!
The 40-Day Transformation I chose is the Fat Buring Program. It's all organic, vegan, non-gmo, gluten-free and farm to factory in Long Beach, California. It costs about $7.50 per day. You're basically substituting the bad for good. If you can't afford $7.50 a day to be healthy than you certainly can't afford to be sick.
Here's the LINK with a $50 coupon for you or to share with someone you know who wants to make a change!
Stay tuned for more updates...
Peace, Love & Hugs,
Jess
