Juicy Fruity Diet Day 3!

Officially the last day of juice diet but I will be having lunch today (farewell lunch for a colleague) and gonna have some carbs intake before bootcamp tonight. 

Juice for the morning and post lunch juice.

- 1 box of spinach 

- 5 sticks of celery

- 4 green apples

- 2 carrots

- 1 lemon

Blend the spinach with hand blender and some water...

Beautiful dark green of goodness..

Refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. Delish!

Lunch today was actually quite sinful. Mutton briyani and some share dishes to share. 

Body adjusted back to solid food without any issues and I feel full easily. Bowel movement no problem at all! *Sorry but important to know!*

Had a slow jog (2km) to bootcamp and the session today was pretty routine but it feels tough!!! Before our last run, I had a white flash of blur vision for a few good seconds. First time that happened to me in bootcamp so it was slightly freaky. Recovered well after so all back to business.

- 1 handful of wheat grass

- 6 celery (I really like celery)

- 1 green apple

- 2 golden kiwi

- 1 dragon fruit

Feeling a bit fancy tonight to celebrate the 3rd day milestone. And so... We blend the kiwi, set aside. Blend the wheat grass with some water and juice everything. Add the kiwi blend into the amazing concoction and it taste like a dessert. Looks amazing, crunchy and yummy!

Juicy Fruity Diet Day 2, Late PM + Night

3pm: Fading a bit more than yesterday I have to admit. Have to make a trip to the juice bar. Thought I could tolerate till 4 but losing concentration at work. 

Green power to the rescue! Spinach, apples and lemon. Refreshing, did the trick. 

After 8 juices, I really wanted some hot and healthy so I made a trip to the supermarket to pick up some vegetables. Let's have soup tonight!!

- 6 sticks of celery

- 3 carrots

- 2-3 onions

- 1 broccoli

- 1 bell pepper

- 1 bag of spinach

Dice up everything and stir fry for 5-10 minutes. 

Top up with water, two vegetable cubes (optional) and add in spinach when water starts to boil. 

Purée with a hand blender. There you go, liquid happiness!

Juicy Fruity Diet Day 2, AM + Early PM

Exactly 24 hours later, my weight plunged 2kg. In one day, I'm back to my pre Birthday celebration weight (which I've celebrated for over a week)!! Woohoo! Still too early to rejoice so let's keep the juice diet going strong.

Woke up today feeling pretty decent, nothing shouts hungry. Must be body adjusting well. Took my usual multivitamins and there's a bottle of oolong tea (known to be good for dieting) so why not? *gulped, gulped*

Alright for breakfast and early lunch, let's experiment with new goodies.

2 servings: 

- 1 small box of blueberries

- 1 dragon fruit

- 1 handful of wheat grass

- 2 carrots

- 3 cucumbers

Blended the blueberries and wheat grass as they don't juice very well and then poured it into the juicer (am I doing it right?) and taadaa....! What a gorgeous color.

I threw in an orange for the PM serving to get more juice and I'm definitely enjoying the creativity (or randomness)!

Noon Updates

Had the second serving of power juice around noon and feeling a bit hungry but still quite energetic. I wonder if its the daily dosage of biotin supplement (energy production, increase metabolism and improves hair + nails) that's kicking in or effects from detoxification. Couldn't mingle much with colleagues in the pantry while they are having lunch or I will steal a bite or two from their lunch boxes! And they think I'm crazy doing just juice even when it's just for a few days.

Gonna go groceries shopping again tonight. It's quite crazy how much stuff you've got to get thru the juicer to get such a small volume of juice. Karen will be tagging along and doing juice dinner together before our piano class. Yay peer support!!
