I boarded the JJ Virgin Diet train and became a follower way back in January 2016.  So far, this train ride, my Virgin Diet journey has been more than  I could have ever imagined.

The feedback from my friends and family has extremely positive.  Why, some people have even stop me on the street and asked me what did I do to stay in such great shape. I tell them all about JJ Virgin and the wonderful diet she created for people just like me.

I also have gotten some new followers (about 1-2 per week). It's incredible!

The Virgin Diet is been the best thing has that ever happened to me
and it is so easy to do. To get started, all I did was stop seven foods(corn, soy, sugar and artificial sweeteners, peanuts, glutens, dairy and eggs) for seven days and Whola! lost not just 7 pounds, but eight. I lost 8 pounds in just 7 days. I was hooked and wanted to continue to see what else my newfound way of life offered..
Woo! Wooooo!
Get on The Virgin Diet Train!
Meanwhile, as I continued on this Virgin Diet journey, I began an improvement in the way I felt. No more sleepless nights(no more tossing and turning) but instead, I have deeper soothing sleep(just like a baby). Then I noticed that I no longer craved those fattening foods and snacks. Seriously! And then, my skin became smoother, rosier, and cleared. Next thing I noticed was my brain fog left. Yep!
Brain fog was out of there. Foggy brain - gone! Now, I experience, calmer, peaceful mood with sharpened concentration.

Cycle 3

"Living The Virgin Diet Life"

Diary of a JJ Virgin Diet Follower

Dear Diary,
Soooo, The Virgin Diet's manta is....

"Lose Fat Fast. Keep It Off Forever".
Which has become my new mantra as well!
I have been following The Virgin Diet for nearly nine months and am quite pleased with the results.
Why?....
Well, the reason why is because I reached my goal weight loss within just 5 months of starting and I have been able to maintain the weight loss ever since.
So far, The Virgin Diet journey been totally amazing!

Presently I am in Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet and now seeking ways to assure my continued healthy weight loss success-making it a wonderful lifetime achievement. Here are some great ideas and easy to remember ways;

Get A Life!

Get The Virgin Diet

·      Avoid sugar at all cost-sugar made me fat. No fruit juices and high-glycemic

   juices(high fructose). No! No! and No!

   sugar, soy, corn, and peanuts at least   

   95% of the time according to JJ Virgin.  

   Follow the "three bite rule" the other 

   5% of the time. Totally avoid artificial

   sweeteners all     

   the time.

·      Eat the tolerable foods in it's healthiest form, such as farm raised and grass-fed diary and eggs. Can be consume every other day.

·      Rechallenge intolerable foods every 3 months. Diary, gluten, eggs or soy can be repeated, but its optional.

·      Every 12 months go back to Chapter 8, and repeated the 21 days of The Virgin Diet, then move on to Chapter 9 and Rechallenge, challenge any or all 4 foods. It is imperative that this is done yearly. Must be done yearly!

Diary, I'm in for the long haul-The Virgin Diet has proven to be the best thing for me. And so, I sticking with it!

Until later.

By the way, remember the..."Secrets in the sauce"!





Cause and Effect of The Virgin Diet

Positive Outcome

Cycle 3

Diary of a Virgin Diet Follower

 

So Dairy,

 

Now that I am in Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet and have successfully made it a way of life, (oh, yeah, Cycle 3, that's the part of The Virgin Diet after identifying my food intolerances (foods that I could not eat without having symptoms of bloatiness, dizziness, nausea, and restless sleepless nights, but also discovered the foods that my body could tolerate and made me feel, exuberantly energized, captured tremendously deep and satisfying sleep("just like a baby"),sharpened concentration with better focus, and no bloat or gas. 

The Virgin Diet is an easy concept to follow, because I know that based on what foods I eat and how  I eat (cause) can result in either a positive or negative effect on me. For instance, if I had continued to eat the 7  forbidden foods( corn, soy, peanuts, sugar and artificial sweeteners, eggs, and dairy) on a regular basis, I would have continued to gain weight suffer from a litany of the negative and unpleasant effects.

But after I saw all the amazing effect that The Virgin Diet had on my sister(she lost fifty plus pounds, looks so much younger and feels awesome), I wanted to look fabulous, lose weight and feel great too.. so in  January 1, 2016 ( my New Years Resolution), I embarked on my own Virgin Diet journey becoming a Virgin Diet Follower. It's the best decision I have ever made. 

Here I am 9½ months later, 35 pounds lighter, eating incredibly tasting food,  drinking my incredibly healthy and delicious Virgin Diet Smoothie(daily) and feeling fabulous. That's what I mean by cause and effect. The Virgin Diet is the cause and the wonderful outcome of eating right while losing weight is the effect.

So now that I have lost all that weight, I cannot wear any of the clothes that I have. Shrinking from a size 16 to size 10, I am having to get rid of all my oldie but goodie clothes. It's really unbelievable! Who knew that The Virgin Diet worked this well? I am unable to wear any of my old clothes because  when I put them on, they all just fall off me. .My closet is full of dresses, pants, jeans, swimsuits, blouses, halter tops, leggings, and undergarments, clothes ranging from sizes 16 to size 12. At first, I thought that I would keep them and get them altered, but I could not find a tailor or anyone that could altered them for me.

Soooo, I took some pictures of some of my favorite clothes and put them on Ebay to see if anyone would be able to use them... and guess what? The clothes in my closet are getting sold on eBay!

I am so happy that someone can use them because they are really nice clothes... I just can no longer where them.

One of my favorite pair of size XL sapphire blue sequined evening party leggings recently sold-they were sooo cute.

Now I have my adorable Vera Wang After 5'o clock Black Dress on eBay, it's a large, maybe it will sell too. Beautiful dress!

Hey Diary

I love The Virgin Diet!

Until Later.

 

 



The Virgin Diet Is For Real

Its Not A Dream

I'm Wide AWAKE

Cycle 3

Diary of a Virgin Diet Follower

 

 

Diary Dear,
I'm not sleepwalking...am I?

It has been 8 months since I began my wonderful Virgin Diet journey, and I must say, what an incredible lifestyle journey its been.  The Virgin Diet is just that, a lifestyle, and way to eat to live as well as live to eat. 

For me, The Virgin Diet is a dream come true....

In just 8 short months (after starting in January 2016), I accomplished my weight loss goal and lost 35 pounds.  I am still pinching myself (daily) to see if it is in fact, just-a-dream. However, every time I get on the scale to weigh myself, which is usually once a week, I realize that its not a dream-its a reality.  

And it is wonderful feeling to experience such positive results from The Virgin Diet It is truly amazing and my reality too. Its not a dream-its real. Yes! the real deal! And,... I'm not sleepwalking either. So far, the journey has been fun, rewarding and gratifying.

In the beginning, when I was contemplating The Virgin Diet, I can remember thinking...I have to stop eating, what!? Seven foods? Why?.. Oh no, I don't think so!. What about my fresh-baked bread, my bread and my popcorn, my pancakes, my donuts(ummm!)and my, and my.. my...,my..?!. What could seven little itty bitty foods do to me anyway? Corn, Soy, Peanuts, Gluten, Sugar and Artificial Sweetener, Eggs and Dairy...they all seems so innocent to me. These seven foods were actually the culprit and the reason behind my inexplicable weight gain.  Although, these foods seemed to be totally harmless, The Virgin Diet has shown me how they were really hurting my health and causing me to gain unwanted weight. 

I was a hot mess, and kept repeating a litany of reasons not to try it. Things like, this will never work, I can't do this! What about the added expense of something new in my life. Making all kinds of excuse, I nearly talked myself out of something that was meant to be-destiny. I began to ask questions like... well... just what do I have to lose and its just for 21 days. And I thought that if I didn't see any results in 21 days, I would just quit. For me, that sound fair enough. Sooo,  I calmed myself, made a plan, set a date(January 1, 2016), and became a JJ Virgin Diet Follower.  And now, at 35 pounds lighter, am so glad that I did.

 

 

Now, I have completed Cycle 1 (that's the first

phase of the diet, where I eliminated the 7 foods from my diet; corn, soy, gluten, dairy, eggs, sugar and artificial sweeteners, and peanuts for 21 days). Afterwards, I felt like a new person (kind of hard to explain) and began to denote positive physical and mental changes (improvements) in my body. I felt more calm relaxed and even slept better at night than ever before. Most of all I noticed that I possess amazingly boundless nearly unlimited energy that I never had before(well, maybe as a child).

Anyway, at times, I thought I was dreaming or imagining it all. All that I know is that I liked it and wanted more, so I continued on to the next level, Cycle 2 of The Virgin Diet (Cycle 2, is where I reintroduced 3 of the 7 foods back into my diet-eggs, gluten, diary; I totally eliminated: corn, peanuts and sugar and artificial sweeteners because they can made me fat and feel really sick).

The reintroduction of gluten, dairy and eggs bought about its own challenges. The first week, I added gluten back into my diet and immediately reacted with symptoms like, feeling very bloaty, stomach distended, nausea, and feeling dizzy which lasted for nearly 5 hours. Not good! The next week I tested diary,( a little half and half in my coffee in the morning) no reaction. Diary is okay in small amounts. Next, eggs, I tested eggs by having an omelet-no reaction. Eggs-farm-raised, grass-fed eggs gets a thumbs-up (only a couple of times a week-not everyday). Yeah!

Now, that I am in Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet, and have adopted The Virgin Diet as a way of life and lifestyle. I have made some amazing discoveries. I mean its never been so easy to keep the weight off  while enjoy good food at the same time.

One of the best parts of Cycle 1, Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet is my daily Virgin Diet Smoothie. My Virgin Diet Smoothie is serves as a meal replacement and satiable( quite satisfying while eliminating food cravings).

                    Here's my favorite Virgin Diet Smoothie Recipe:

                    Red Raspberry Yum Yum Virgin Diet Smoothie

                              1 cup frozen red raspberry

                              1 cup (unsweetened) So Delicious Coconut Milk

                           1 scoop Growing Naturals Vanilla Blast Yellow Pea Protein(I love this!)

                              2 tablespoons of Chia seeds

Blend until smooth and bottoms up. Enjoy!

Sooo good!

 

Along with organic veggies and fruits, brown rice, brown rice flour, brown rice pasta, farm-raised eggs, farm-raised-grass-fed poultry, minimal dairy, grass-fed beef, lamb, wild-caught scallops, salmon, and shrimp and my delicious Virgin Diet Smoothies dining has become something I really look forward to.



Diary,

I am not sleepwalking and no, this is not a dream, The Virgin Diet is for real...believe that!

 

 

 

 





Just Drop It Like It's Hot

The Virgin Diet

Drop 7 Foods For 7 Days Lose 7 Pounds

Cycle 3

Diary of a Virgin Diet Follower



Dear Diary, 

Today, one of the women at church who had just returned from her summer vacation, approached me and began to ask me a litany of questions about my weight. "What are you doing?" "Have you lost weight?" "How did you did you do it?" Moving her hands in the air, as to show a  wave or curvy figure, she said something like, you have curves too! 

I told her that I was on a very special diet called The Virgin Diet. At that point, she looked as if you wanted to know more, and said, "Please tell me more, I want to know how you did it, because you look great! Excitingly she added where can I find the book.

I was flabbergasted to see her reaction to my weight loss and became increasingly intrigued by her interest. So, I told her all about my Virgin Diet experience. I must have been talking a mile a minute as I told her about my amazing Virgin Diet journey.

 

I simple told her that the premise of this diet is to drop 7 foods, for just 7 days and lose 7 pounds and according to JJ Virgin of The Virgin Diet, food intolerance is the real cause of weight gain.

Pointing to her mid section, she said, "I just have this puffiness around the mid-section and I would love to lose it". "But I see that your waistline is trimmed and curvy", she added. She was amazed.

I love sharing my Virgin Diet experiences and lifestyle with others.

This is how I did it:

Breakfast:  Drink daily smoothies with blended organic berry, pea protein smoothie, flax or chia seeds, and coconut milk or coconut water or almond milk. 

Lunch and Dinner: Daily meals that consist of:

• Organic fruits and veggies
• Grass-fed beef, lamb
• Free-range, anti-biotic chicken, turkey
• Wild-caught seafood

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drink plenty of water between meals and throughout the day. Ideal water consumption should consist of half your body water in ounces per day(according to JJ Virgin creator of The Virgin Diet)
Diary, today, I received affirmation that The Virgin Diet really works and is incredibly rewarding.
Until later.

 

Energize For Better Health

Just Follow The Virgin Diet

Cycle 3

Diary of  a JJ Virgin Diet Follower

Dear Diary,

I can't believe the joy that The Virgin Diet has truly bought me. I never would have thought in a million years that I would be able to make a diet an actual lifestyle for myself. And ...,I did!

See, I started this Virgin Diet journey in January 2016, and have not regretted it. It's the best thing that I have ever..., ever....ever.., done for myself. That's right, I am following The Virgin Diet for me. Me, myself, and I. It's about choices and I choose The Virgin Diet lifestyle because of it's rewarding returns.

Sometimes, you just have to take charge of your body and decide what to eat or not eat in order to sustain better health. So what do I mean by better health? Well, here it is. Okay, so far, I have loss 35 lbs.(yes, and my weight loss remains at 35lbs weight loss while in Cycle 3), I no longer suffer from brain fog(it's like I had air head all the time-I thought that foggy brain was normal), now , I'm more alert, focused and with better concentration. And, sleep has never been better, I am getting up to 7 hours sleep each night. It's incredible! There is absolutely nothing... nothing...did I say nothing like getting a good night's sleep. I mean I wake up refreshed and ready to start my day. According to JJ Virgin of The Virgin Diet, insufficient sleep can make you fat and sabotage the rest of your health. Who knew!

Although, these are really some amazing benefits of The Virgin Diet, another very important benefit is the enormous energy boost that I get from it is astounding! Limitless energy. I just love it when Captain Kirk of Star Trek said the word, "Energize", before he was to transported from one place to the other. (By the way, I love Star Trek!)

 

Now that I have all this energy, I am going to use it by exercising more. Increase my walking steps(get the old pedometer out and measure my walking pace), That's right, "Get To Stepping"! start cycling again, increase my strength training exercises (lifting 5 lbs. hand weights-try and lift more) and began to drop it like it's not,  oh, I mean like it's hot. I got to get moving. Do more exercise to better utilize my newfound energy. I got to "Utilize the Energize" for better health. 

For me, The Virgin Diet has been tremendously advantageous and totally easy to follow. Now that I am in Cycle 3 of the diet, where I refrain from eating corn, peanuts, sugar and artificial  sweeteners and minimal gluten-no wheat(food intolerance to wheat),. However, if I happen to eat one of the foods that is not allowed(Perhaps if I am out to dinner or lunch with friends), I just start the detox process again by stopping the seven foods for 7 days., continue my wonderful, daily Virgin Diet Smoothies. "Keep Calm and Smooth It!"

Keep Calm and Smooth It!

Virgin Diet Smoothie

 

                    1 cup of So Delicious Coconut water or coconut milk

(may use almond milk too)

 1 cup of frozen fruit (berries- raspberries,

   strawberries, blackberries, or dark cherries

           1 scoop of Growing Naturals Vanilla Blast Pea Protein

1-2 tablespoons of Flax or Chia

Keep calm and smooth it-blend it and drink up!

 It's the daily best- Love it!

Yes, The Virgin Diet, a great diet, with great returns and gives me unbelievable energy.

Right!
Diary,

Until later.



The Virgin Diet Summertime Fun

Coconut Water Cool Down

Cycle 3

Diary of A Virgin Diet Follower

Hey Diary,

I am still in Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet, that"s  the maintenance part of the diet where I stay away from corn, peanuts, gluten and sugar and artificial sweeteners, and eat the foods that I can tolerate(eggs, some dairy).

Now that it's summertime and The Virgin Diet continues to be going very well, I thought that it would be a good time for a little tweeking, not twurking my Virgin Diet regimen.

Recently, I started making my daily smoothies with coconut water instead of coconut milk, and I feel my better. It 's probably because I get better hydration with the coconut water and coconut water definitely have less calories than the coconut milk. Coconut water is also high in potassium a great thirst quencher. I love it! I drink it instead of filtered water. Yummy good!

Aside from the taste, I have noticed other a few other benefits, like

my skin is more supple, and I now use less lotion( I thought that I was my imagination, but I no longer have to lotion), I also seem to have boundless energy. Yes, I can always use more energy.

By the way, I found a new coconut water called, Harvest Bay and it is really good tasting. I first discovered it while on vacation Washington, DC  when shopping at a health food store in the Eastern Markets. I remembered the taste of the coconut water to be soo good, but just could not remember that name of it.

It's all natural and not made from concentrate and soooo good ! Who knew that there was a difference in coconut waters. Well, I didn't. Harvest Bay Coconut Water makes a great smoothie too.

It seems to blend better with the pea protein powder, grounded chia seeds, and the frozen berries. 

Today, I created a Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie. Okay, so what's  a Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie? It's one of the best treats ever!

These long, hot summer days can be almost unbearable, however  my Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie make things a little bit sweeter!

My Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie is simple to make. Here's how:

Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie

1 cup extreme chilled Harvest Bay Coconut Water

1 cup Frozen (hard frozen) Mixed Berries

1 scoop of Growing Naturals Yellow Pea Protein

1 tablespoon ground Chia Seeds

That's it!

Blend totally until smooth and drink with pleasure

This smoothie is absolutely great first thing in the morning, or last thing in the evening. (Maybe for lunch) . I just love my daily smoothie, and now that I have the Harvest Bay Coconut water.....

It's all good.

Until later diary,
