Day 5. Final Day! | 7lbs In 7 Days

Weight: 99lbs 

As I’m fazing in a meal, my weight isn’t decreasing as much. By tonight, I reckon that number will go up another couple lbs. 

Can’t comprehend how much I thoroughly dislike juice. Just, urg! 

Good thing is we’ve run out of almost everything. So much to my dads satisfaction, I think tonight and maybe a couple juices for tomorrow, will be the last of it!!

2 apples, 1/4 carrot, 1/2 stick celery, 1 handful spinach leaves, 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 beetroot, 1/4 courgette, 1/4 lemon, 1/4 ginger.

| CHANGES TO BE MADE |

As the end is super close, I’ve been thinking of ways to maintain this level of healthiness, but with much less juices throughout the day. 

So, I’ve decided to shake up my regular diet. Working out/cardio is all good and well, but if you don’t have the diet to back it up, it’s a little pointless. They definitely go hand in hand. 

Starting from Friday, I’ll be swapping;

• White pasta, noodles, spaghetti and rice for wholegrain and gluten-free options. 

• Tomato based pasta sauces for homemade ones. 

• Wholemeal bread for wholegrain, multi-seeded bread. 

• Sainsburys own pizzas and curries for homemade ones. 

• Most importantly, my regular sized meal portions, for half the amount. 

This is so I know what’s going into my food, as well as ensuring portion control. As my stomach has shrunk, portion control is so much easier now. 

E.g. Yesterday’s dinner would’ve been double the portion, if this was before the juicing cleanse. 

I’m really happy that I stuck with this to (almost) the end. If I wasn’t losing weight so drastically, I would’ve tried to go for the whole 7 days. At least I now know what my body can handle.

The juicing cleanse was totally worth it!
