Jump Start Your Diet!

Last year I hit a plateau with my weightloss and needed to do something different. I needed a new food plan that would help me  lose weight quickly and at the same time curve my cravings.


I talked about this at work and one of my girlfriends put me on to this 4-day diet plan. It's called 18in4. This plan proposes you will lose up to 18lbs in just 4 days by following the diet plan to a T. There are no variations and no substitutes on this plan. I gave it a try and lost 7 pounds which I kept off. There were other people that tried the program as well and they lost between 9-11 pounds. This is a nice jump start to a new way of eating since it cuts a lot of unnecessary foods from your everyday meal and it helps to "trick" you in a way to abstain from your normal unhealthy cravings. I found this 4-day plan to be helpful. This is not something that will cure obesity or anything but its a nice little push in the right direction. The only caution with a plan like this is, it is very easy to gain the weight back if you don't use it for its purpose which is to get you on your way to better eating habits.

Getting Started

 

This is the most necessary but yet the most difficult step to take when trying to get fit and eat healthier. I have been struggling with my weight since having my first child 8 1/2yrs ago. During that pregnancy I gained 65lbs and just went into a funk. I had no energy or desire to work out and fell into the comfort of being overweight. At the time I was dealing with a lot of emotional baggage which kept me stressed and fatigued further adding to my weight issues. I did not start to focus on myself until I got my emotions in check, took care of the situation that was holding me back, and moved forward with a desire to better myself.

What did I do?
