Creating A Virgin Diet Lifestyle

The Virgin Diet

A Way of Life

Cycle 3

                                                      Diary of a JJ Virgin Diet Follower

Hey Diary, 

Now that I've successfully completed Cycle 1 and 2 of The Virgin Diet, I have to create a plan that is Virgin Diet centered.  Since I lost 35 lbs, I am not interested in gain any of that weight back . So in order to maintain my weight there are somethings that I must do on a daily basis. According to JJ Virgin creator of the Virgin Diet, the rate of weight regain after a typical diet are anywhere from 50 to 95 percent. So, I am not looking to become a statistic, that why it is important for me to set up a Virgin Diet maintenance plan for myself.  

Planning is the a very important element and is key to the continued success of the diet.  So, how should I plan out my maintenance program? Let's see...

For me, its important for me to make sure that I have ample supply of Virgin Diet healthy foods, and the ingredients for my berry protein shake on hand. That's where my Virgin Diet shopping list comes in handy.

Here is my shopping list:
