Hey dolls! I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but things have been pretty hectic and I wanted to be able to put full attention into my posts when I wrote them, so I'm back! Throughout the duration of June and July, I've maintained my weight and health *pretty* well, even after going home for a few months and being exposed to so many great foods and family get togethers. My family comes to me for a lot of health advice, and there's nobody else that I'd rather help but them, so I love being able to help out when I can.
My older sister has been struggling on the front of a healthy lifestyle, like so many people are, and talked to me about cleansing and detoxing. Personally, I know myself well, and I don't think I could get through a cleanse for 7 days. I would hate it, and starve, and that's not exactly how I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle. That being said, why pass on that negative trend to someone else who wants to be exposed to great health and a better lifestyle?
I'm a big advocate for vitamin and supplements, because those little pills can go a long way. I never really go to health or supplement stores, solely for purposes of money, and me not having much of it as a student. So today I talked to my sister and suggested we go to GNC to look around and see if anything sparked our interests. We talked to the employees, read some products, and kept going back to the GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™.* My sister and I purchased one 16-serving container in the Vanilla Bean and plan on starting tomorrow. The shake is loaded with protein and fiber, so it keeps in the nutritional value during your diet. The product also includes a personal 2 week diet and exercise plan that is super great, and even though we are alternating it a little, I would absolutely try their 2 week recommendation. Our plan is to eat a sensible breakfast, around 250 calories, with whole grains and either Chobani* greek yogurt or two eggs, and replace lunch and dinner with a shake for each meal. Each serving is 180 calories, and you can blend it with ice to give it more of a shake feel and taste. We are doing this plan for 4 days and hope to get a fast, yet healthy and fulfilling jump start to a healthy diet lifestyle. I will blog every day and talk about our experience using this product, (which by the way, smells so good-can't wait to taste!)
I recommend that everyone go to a nutrition store and at least look around, I tried a few samples, and would easily buy what I tried, and so many other things in the store that I saw. One thing that shocked me were the prices, they were easily half the price of anything that I walked in expecting. A good surprise! Our shake mix was only $30 and there wasn't much else in the store that was over that price, so amazing. Go check it out!
As for me, check back tomorrow and I'll give you my first day details.
