I thought about it some more, and I really want to lose this weight NOW. A few years ago, I did a complete fast using Take Shape For Life. I was so desperate at the time, but I looked at my numbers again, and I lost 42 pounds in 3 months. The numbers were amazing. But I know I don't have the willpower to do that again. Let's be realistic--my life has changed. I no longer live alone and I have a baby. But at the same time, I didn't want to let the idea go...
So I decided to do a half and half situation.Starting Monday, I will do a complete fast for 7 days using meal replacements; the following Monday I will do the alternate day diet... and I will go back to the complete fast the following Monday. So basically, my plan is now the alternate week/alternate day diet. If all goes well, I will have completed 6 weeks of complete fasting, and 6 weeks of the alternate day diet by the time I reach 12 weeks. We'll see if it helps me to reach my goal quicker (hopefully it will)!
To Join This Challenge, You Will Need:
1. To become familiar with the The Alternate-Day Diet. Information can be found on the founder's website, and you should also order the book to get more information on how the program works, recipes.
2. The challenge will also involve meal replacement shakes on your "down days." I would suggest using the shakes and meal replacements offered by Take Shape For Life, but if cost is an issue, you should check out DietDirect.com which has a lot of shakes and meal replacements at much lower prices.
3. This wouldn't be a challenge without exercise. For this challenge, I'm using Leslie Sansone's Walk Slim - 4 Fast Miles (2-Disc Set)
every day for 90 days (takes about 45 minutes to complete), and The Science of Fitness with Tamilee - I Want That Body!
for strength training (15 minutes).
