10lb weight loss in 6 days!!!

Hello Darlings!


Hope you are all good :) As you may remember I am currently trying to lose weight. A few weeks ago I did the 3 day diet to help kick start my weight loss and managed to lose 5lbs. Well, between the end of that diet and last week I managed to lose a further 2lbs through plain and simple healthy eating. Today I'm going to tell you about a diet I began last thursday. It goes by the name of The 7 day Sacred Heart Diet and I do not recommend it at all!! I had never done this diet before, so I had no idea what it was going to be like. It didn't sound to bad to be honest, but it was.
I was hungry and tired constantly, but it wasn't until last night (day 6) that enough was enough. I literally could not move from the toilet (I know too much information!) My stomach swelled up and was making the most strange noises I have ever heard in my life, I was vomiting too. This is when I decided this diet is so not worth it. I was awake and in agony for the entire night. There was absolutely no way I was going to continue with it, I just wanted to get weighed and throw some decent food down my neck!
The 7 day Sacred Heart Diet


The principle of this diet is to fill up on a very low calorie soup, which can be consumed in as large a quantity as is needed. Other foods are off limits, except for the foods prescribed for each day, as are alcoholic drinks. The diet lasts for 7 days, after which time dieters are supposed to have lost at least 10 pounds, as well as feeling cleansed and rejuvenated.

I'm not going to post the recipe of the soup etc but if you would like to see it click here. Like I said I do not recommend this diet, but here's what I had to eat each day, along with the soup ...

Day One - As much fruit as you want, except bananas.
Day Two -  As much veg as you want and a large baked potato with butter.
Day Three - As much fruit and veg as you want.
Day Four - At least 3 bananas and as much skimmed milk as you want.
Day Five - 10 to 20 oz beef, cooked in any way except fried and one tin of tomatoes.
Day Six -  As much beef and veg as you want.
Day Seven - As much brown rice and veg as you want. 

Anyway, I got weighed after my 6th day and I had lost 10lbs! Amazing obviously, but not worth making myself ill over. I will never ever do this diet ever again, but I can't promise I won't have a go of other fad diets. The super-fast weight loss is just sooo tempting. For now though I am enjoying being reunited with my best friend mr carb!

3 Day Diet! x


Hey Hunnies!

Hope you are all well :) I haven't got a new phone/camera yet but I have one ordered. In the meantime I can't cope not blogging, so I'm going to do my best using the fiance's camera and pics off the net etc. Please bear with me!

Today I'm going to tell you about a diet I'm starting. I have done it before and achieved fantasic results. I've been desperate to lose weight for a while, but keep putting it off. I'm one of those people that only have to look at a doughnut and I put half a stone on lol. What with all the yummy foods at christmas and 10 too many takeaways, now is the time to get sexy for summer ;) I'm using this diet to sort of kick start my healthy eating. I got weighed in boots yesterday, but didn't look at the print out lol. I'd rather not know how much I weigh till I've lost some! I will get weighed again on Friday and see what the verdict is.

Oh and I'm doing this diet for me. My fiance would still find me hot as hell, whether I was a size 8 or 18. If you're big and feel good about yourself and you're healthy then that's fine, but I feel like a whale and want to be able to look in the mirror and smile :)


The 3 day diet


The 3 Day Diet has been around for many years is one of the most popular short-term diets today. Many people adopt the diet to try and achieve rapid weight loss, up to 10lbs for most. I can't stress enough that this diet should not be used for more than 3 days, as it very low calorie but is ideal for a special occasion or to be used as a starting point (like I am doing) The diet is incredibly simple and easy to follow and the meals are easy to prepare. Last time I did this diet I lost 9lb in 3 days and managed to keep it off through continuing to eat healthy.

Although this diet works for me, it may not work for everyone. Low calorie diets can be dangerous for some and can lead to yoyo dieting. This diet is definately not suitable for anyone that is sensitive to caffeine.

It's not a good idea to exercise much when doing this diet because of the low calorie intake. This won't be a problem for me, I'm a right lazy bum :p

For this diet to work you must not swap any of the foods or change the order in which you eat them.
