Hello there and welcome to The Detox Website. I am going to start a detox and each day I will let you know what I am doing, why I am doing it and what results I am getting.
I am a 48 year old female and at 5’2″ I weigh 9 stone 10lbs which is actually overweight for my height and means I have a BMI of 24.9 which is only a little bit off too high. Ideally I want to be 8 and a half stone which will bring my BMI down to 21.8.
I have always been really lucky in that I didn’t start to put much weight on until I had my children at 29 but since then I seem to have been on a constant ‘diet’ and my weight has gone up and down just like so many before me. A couple of years ago I won a spa break and it turned out to be a detox break. Spending three days learning about what food was doing to my body and the benefits of exercise and treatment really did the trick and I went on a detox for a full month and lost 10lb. I was chuffed to bits but when the month was up I just went back to my previous eating (and drinking) habits and put it all back on.
This time I intend to kick start my weight loss with a two week intense detox and then carry on with the detox in a lesser fashion til the month is up. I will then follow the 80/20 rule which I will talk more about in future posts because as I am sure you have heard before this is a lifestyle choice and not a diet that just lasts a few days.
Please feel free to comment and share your successes with me. I am not an expert – I am simply a ‘normal’ person following a detox plan and sharing my experiences in the hope that I can help others to lose weight with me.
Til tomorrow…..
