Tweeking The Virgin Diet

For a Healthier Lifestyle

Fine Tuning the Diet

Cycle 3

Diary of a Virgin Diet Follower

Dear Diary,

I have realized that creating a healthier lifestyle through the Virgin Diet is going to take a bit of work. Work? Work! Work? Yes,and yes...work.

How so? I asked.  So Diary, I thought that after losing my goal weight of 35 lbs. in 6 months, and eating all the right foods, at the right times and drinking glass after glass of good filtered water, why, I assumed that was all that I needed to do...period. I just figured by now, I could eat any those seven forbidden foods and that I have been avoiding for so long. 

Not at all!

Since following The Virgin Diet, I have feeling fabulous and, by all means, want to continue to do so. Although, the forbidden foods sometimes look and appear to be quite tempting, I know that they are not good for me and actually make me feel sick.  Those forbidden foods, Gluten, Corn, Soy, Peanuts, Sugar and artificial sweeteners are the things that made me fat and gain the unhealthy weight in the first place. However, out of the seven forbidden foods, and while in Cycle 3, the diet for life phase of The Virgin Diet, I can eat Eggs(every other day), and Dairy(every 4 days) to sustain my weight and remain feeling good.

So now, I come to the tweeking stage of The Virgin Diet that's where I will develop an easy to follow recipe for continued success.

A few days ago, I talked about how to create a Virgin Diet Lifestyle, I started with The Virgin Diet shopping list because that's a perfect place to begin.

 

In fact, I keep my shopping list tucked away in my wallet so that I have it when I get to the store. It's always the same, so that not only saves me time, but money as well, because I know actually what items I have to get each time.  It's wonderful to finally have some grocery shopping guidelines to follow and not just aimlessly looking around and buying useless food products that do not comply with the diet. I still read the labels on new products   and make certain none of the forbidden food are trying to slip into my shopping cart. There always trying to sneak into my shopping cart, but I always catch them. Look for unusual ingredients or unclear verbiage. Just "Google it", something jumps out at you.

Next, I have to continue to practice strict Virgin Diet discipline and again stay clear of those foods that can hurt me. That means to make sure I have my daily berry smoothie, preferably first thing each morning. Sometimes, I  try some coconut water instead of coconut milk in my smoothie for a lighter smoothie. It is really good and curbs hunger for 4-5 hours. Smoothies are the important part of The Virgin Diet and the key to my success. I must remember to drink water, water and more water, (spring, or filtered water) between smoothie time and meals throughout the day too.

Tweeking for success is not hard to do... the thing is, you just have to do it.

Diary, Keep Calm and Keep Tweeking!
