In the past, when I had been counting points, drinking
shakes or eating Wasa to lose weight, I would still dread Monday mornings. Inevitably I would have "failed" over the weekend. I no longer
feel this way as a Nutritarian. Since I started this program on a Tuesday, I have been using
Monday as the day when I summarize how I am doing and how I feel. It has been 5
weeks today, and I feel great. I definitely can say with confidence that I feel
a difference. Although my digital scale fluctuates, I know I have lost weight.
It's quite hard to believe that I am entering my last week of the 6 week plan.
I know many of you have been wondering what happens after the 6 weeks are
finished. Well, the lifestyle continues but it will be a little less strict. I
think the idea is to get accustomed to feeling good, and to have created
healthy habits that will continue. I will have finished the 6 weeks without
eating one piece of red meat. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I pretty
much stayed away from all animal products. (twice a little chopped chicken,
once a piece of shrimp, and once lobster bisque) I was so used to eating eggs
prior to this diet and for the last 5 weeks I haven't eaten one!
Moving on to the "life plan" permits animal products if I
really want them. Still, 90% of my diet should remain plant based. I'm not sure yet how I will be handling the
program after day 42. But, I must admit, with only one week left I'm pretty
confident I will finish the 6 week plan successfully!
