Fat Flush Results
April 25, 2008Where did all my posts go? Something is amiss with this blogging program. I’m not sure if they are deleted or not.
Anyway, I wanted to update you on how my fat flush went. It went well. I lost 5lbs of “water weight” in about 3 days and felt really renewed. I quickly incorporated sugary carbs (like fruit) back in on the 3rd day because my body really struggled without them. I’m not sure how people on Atkins or any other kind of low-carb diets do it. My body simply cannot withstand that kind of carb deprivation. I would feel completely exhausted and lethargic, and my heart would beat more rapidly than normal. It’s not a good feeling.
Anyway, it felt good to get the bloat out of my system. I don’t know about you but I can “feel” the extra water because my tummy and my sides get really swollen. Unfortunately in my case, this can only be relieved with strenous exercise, lots of water, and very little carbs.
After my “fat flush” I resumed my regular eating and cut down on the exercise (because I was so tired). A few pounds came back but I was expecting it. It wasn’t so much about the numbers on the scale as it was about detoxifying my system and even though the numbers are currently still hovering around the same as before, I FEEL better and less burdened with bloat. I’m not sure if that makes sense.
