It has been one week since I started my No Sugar No Grains lifestyle (I refuse to call it a diet) and I have definitely seen some positive changes. Avoiding sugars and grains hasn't been too difficult, I've been eating way more proteins and veggies which is a great thing. I have not eaten a single grain, which is challenging when you are surrounded by pasta, bread, crackers, etc. and the only sugar I have been consuming is a little bit in my coffee and sometimes in salad dressing. My next step is researching some yummy NSNG meal ideas and recipes so I don't get bored with what I'm eating. This is where my new NSNG Pinterest board will come in handy.
So without further ado, let's get to the numbers.
Date Weight (lb) Waist (in) Hips Thigh Arm | Day 1 7/9/13 149 35 42 25.25 12 | Day 8 7/16/13 145.5 34.5 41.25 24 12 | Difference -3.5 pounds -.5 inch -.75 inch -1.25 inches 0 |
OK, so I am thrilled with my one week results! I honestly wouldn't believe these numbers if my new shorts weren't falling off of me yesterday. I expected to lose a few pounds right off the bat, but I was not expecting to see any inches come off. So that is a nice surprise for me. With such a great change in just one week, I can't wait to see what a month will do!
And yes, I realize I should be posting a before picture, but I'm not sure my ego could handle that. It's one thing to post my numbers without a horrifying photo to go with it. But I'll think about it.
Who else is working on fitness and weight loss this summer? How is it going?
WOW! I am amazed. I am working up the courage to try this myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I don't do NSNG, but have noticed if I eat "typical" food rather than my own stuff poof the pounds go on.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI have done a similar diet, called Dukan. It worked very well ,but I had a hard time staying on it for a long period. For now, I'm on WW and going to the gym. No major loss though.. you have me re-thinknig my plan!!!
I can easily go without sugar, but I'm having a hard time forgoing grains.
ReplyDeleteMan, you are one tough cookie. I pretty much live on grains, sugar and some veggies thrown in. ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
That's pretty much how I was too Cat, which was not working for my body. Now with this I'm losing the weight despite the fact that I haven't been to the gym for 3 weeks with the kids out of school.
DeleteWow, you are so strong and what awesome results! I would love to do this, I know so many people that have and they feel so much better!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl!!! We eat paleo, which is no sugar, no grains, no legumes, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt is AMAZING. Your body thrives on this kind of nutrition!! :)
Good for you for giving it a try - and what fantastic results, too. Way to go. :)
