Before After

UltraSimple

Greetings All! Today, we're (the DH and I) are starting the one-week UltraSimple Diet. This is a plan created by the same doctor who wrote the Ultrametabolism plan that I follow. It's a quick-start detox plan that is supposed to purge my body of all bloat and inflammation, thus kick-starting my metabolism.

The plan involves drinking a home-made broth, smoothies, and eating meals of brown rice, veggies, and lean protein. It's very basic. There's a long list of foods we cannot eat. I'm hoping to drop at least three pounds of bloat I've been holding on to.

There was a preparation week that I skipped (because I'm already on Ultrametabolism) but my husband did. He had to cut back on caffeine, and cut out alcohol, sugar, and white flour. If you can believe this, he lost SIX POUNDS! Just in the preparation week! And according to my Ironman scale, that weight was ALL FAT!

I'm so happy for him, but it just seems so unfair sometimes how easy it is for men to lose weight. But, hey, if it gets him to see the benefits of cutting out the junk, I'm all for it!

Well, I've got to go grade the last mountain of papers. See y'all in a few days!

Good luck

Good luck with your new plan!

My dh can drop 5 pounds without even trying.  Makes me ill.  It's all that extra muscle they carry around.  My dh was kind of gloating that he lost weight faster than me, and I snapped "That's because you have 40 pounds of muscle just on your shoulders and you burn more calories SHRUGGING every time I ask you a question than I do jogging for half an hour." 

Sounds like macrobiotics a bit

Are you doing this for 7 days only?

I'd like to do a detox, but it makes me tired to think about it! LOL
