Hey everyone it’s Maggie here and today I’m finally posting my 3 Week Diet review! After 2 rounds of following this program I’ve finally decided to share my results and let you all know what I think of it. I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the news. My boss called me into his office.“Maggie, you’re going to have to give the speech this year.”“Crap, why me?!” I thought. No point in arguing with this guy though, he doesn’t listen anyway. But then it dawned on me. I was going to have to give a speech in front of over 5. How was I going to stand up in front of all those people when I could barely even look at myself in the mirror anymore. I was 4. 0 pounds overweight and I looked like a SLOB. All I wanted to do was lock myself in a room and never come out. I was fat, unhealthy and I just felt like crap all the time. I felt ashamed for letting myself get like this. It was time to finally lose some weight. This was the wake up call that I needed. So that night as I sat on the sofa with P. J the cat curled up next to me I started Googling the latest ways to lose weight. I must have sat there for hours reading but this only made me feel more confused. What I really needed was a system. And just when I was about to give up and go to bed I saw an ad for the 3 week diet program. As I sat there looking at the website on my i. Pad I was intrigued. The sound of losing weight so fast caught my attention but I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. I’d bought weight loss programs like this in the past and they had never lived up to the hype. And when I Googled it I just found lots of useless websites trying to sell it. They were all like. I needed to be told exactly what to do. So I went to bed at about 1am that night feeling pretty good about my latest purchase. The very next day I started DAY 1 of the 3 Week Diet program. No point in waiting around. The next 3 weeks were a bit of a struggle I won’t lie. I managed to complete all of the workouts. They only last around 2. I was able squeeze them into my day. And even though I was really unfit I was still able to do them. You just need to go at your own pace. The only real problem I had was sticking to the diet plan and reducing my calories. When you reduce your calories this can leave you low on energy. So I snacked a few times, mainly at work when I needed some energy to actually get some work done. Still, I gave it my best shot and I was able to stick to the program pretty good. Before I knew it the 3 weeks were up and it was time to weigh myself. I could already see that I had lost weight just by looking in the mirror. My face looked thinner and I looked healthier too. I had definitely lost weight but how much? So I pulled out my old digital scales. I was 1. 71 pounds when I started. So I stepped forward onto the scales and a few seconds later I was pleasantly surprised to see the numbers 1. The 3 week diet had helped me lose 1. I was so HAPPY! I wasn’t done yet though. I still had more weight to lose. So I restarted the 3 Week Diet program. And now that I’d gotten the hang of it round 2 actually went better than the first. This time around I actually lost 1. That’s almost 1 pound per day! All the people around me who I work with were shocked at how fast I was losing weight. Samantha who sits opposite was well jealous that I was getting more attention than her for once. Everything just seemed to happen so fast. Here’s what I looked like before when I weighed 1. And here’s me now weighing 1. Thanks to the 3 Week Diet I lost 3. That sounds crazy doesn’t it? I almost can’t believe it myself. And do you know what? After losing weight so fast I even had an entire month to spare before the conference. I went to a spa and got a facial and all that good stuff and according to my friend I looked at least 1. You can read the introduction manual of the 3 Week Diet here: https: //skinnyexpress. What is the 3 Week Diet program? The 3 Week Diet is basically a short term weight loss program that focuses on losing a lot of weight fast, 2. It lasts 7 days and this is where I lost the most weight. Phase 2 only lasts 1 day but it was so effective that I actually lost more than a pound in one day. Phase 3 lasts from day 9- 1. I have tried before. To be honest the phase 3 diet sounded quite odd and I almost skipped it. But I promised myself that I would follow the 3 Week Diet to the letter so even though phase 3 sounded weird to me I did it anyway and wow was I surprised when I kept on losing weight. Seriously when you buy the 3 Week Diet and get to phase 3 don’t skip it even if it’s against everything you thought you knew about losing weight because it really works. Phase 4 lasts from day 1. Brian teaches you a powerful way to continue losing weight for the last 9 days. In phase 4 Brain teaches you how to calculate you BMR. Your BMR is how many calories you need to consume each day to to maintain your current weight. You then take the number of calories you need to maintain your weight and then almost cut it in half so that you’re on a big calorie deficit. I actually thought I knew how to calculate my BMR before I bought the 3 Week Diet but now I realize I was doing it all wrong! In Phase 4 you pretty much become a fat burning furnace. There is just no way that if you follow the system you wont lose weight. This is where a lot of us store most of our fat. There’s a section in the 3. WD just for getting rid of fat in these areas. In another section the 3. WD gives you 2 great strategies to open up fat cells, release fat and stop new fat coming in. These strategies help burn the fat you already have and block new fat from coming in. One of the strategies is a little controversial in my opinion but after doing some research I found it’s actually safe to do. You’ll know what I’m talking about if you’ve read through the 3. WD. I like that the diet plan tells you exactly what to eat each day and when to eat your meals to lose the most weight. It’s all laid out for you step by step. The second part of the 3 Week Diet is all about exercise. While you can lose weight with the diet program alone, following the exercise program as well will help you burn fat so much faster. The workouts last around 2. The 3 Week Diet workout program focuses on full body resistance training every other day. The reason the 3. WD focuses on resistance training which comprises of exercises such as push ups and squats etc and not cardio (running on treadmill) is because resistance workouts actually burn twice as many calories as cardio workouts. This is because with resistance workouts you actually burn through the glycogen in your muscles more quickly which causes your body to start burning fat for energy. I think some women are a bit scared to do resistance training because they think it’s only for men and they don’t want to look like a body builder but this just wont happen. After reading through the 3 Week Diet guide I did a bunch of research on this subject and the only way for us women to start building lots of muscle with resistance training is to eat a ton of calories to bulk up or take steroids. Seeing as we are doing neither the only thing resistance training will help us do is burn fat faster. So don’t be scared of the weights girls! To complete the workouts you will either need a gym membership or a set of dumbbells & a workout bench. Luckily my brother who works out a lot had a set of adjustable dumbbells and a bench he let me borrow. You can get a set up dumbbells very cheap these days especially on e. Bay. Here’s my pair. And here’s a pic of the bench. With an adjustable workout bench you can set it flat or at an angle. This one costs around $9. Again probably cheaper on e. Bay. Here’s a sneaky preview screenshot of the 3 Week Diet program showing one of the exercises you’ll be doing. The pic is of a man but women like me can do them too. In the 3 Week Diet workout program there is an exercise that targets every major muscle group. The guide tells you exactly how to do the exercises, how many times to do each one and how long to rest in between. All in all it should take you around 2. And the last part of the 3 Week Diet is called the mindset and motivation manual. This is a section that I think a lot of people who want to lose weight will probably skip because they think that weight loss is all about the diet and exercise but the mental part of losing weight plays a huge factor. I am so thankful that I didn’t skip this last part because I don’t think I would have completed the full 2. I hadn’t read it. The hardest part about losing weight is dealing with the cravings for all the tasty foods you know you shouldn’t be eating. The 3 Week Diet mindset and motivation manual gives you a great technique that only takes 2. I used this strategy a lot throughout the 2. The manual also has around 2. It’s actually a fantastic guide so seriously. I think if you follow the system you will see results like I did if you give it your best shot. Here’s a few of my pics. But my results aren’t just about appearance. Weight loss isn’t just about losing weight. It’s also about your health and the way you feel. Since I’ve lost weight here’s some of the other things I’ve noticed. I have so much more energy. My skin is a lot clearer. I look a lot healthier. I feel a lot healthier. People seem to treat me with more respect. I get more attention from men. I’m more social. I’m more confident. I’m less self conscious. I actually got a promotion and a pay rise recently because my boss likes my new energy and how much more productive I am. I can wear nice clothes again. I look younger. And hey, there’s a lot of benefits happening on the inside when you lose weight. Losing weight was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I only recommend the 3. WD because it worked for me.) . This is fine but it would be nice to have some videos for the exercises in the workouts. But to be honest this really isn’t hat much of a problem. The hunger: If you take the program seriously then this wont be a problem. The Macrobiotic diet is not a typical diet; it is really a lifestyle that requires incredible commitment.

Chewing your food thoroughly and breathing deeply are also important elements of this lifestyle. Adapting to this lifestyle may be challenging, but the effort may be worth it. There has been some evidence that adhering to this lifestyle may be a cancer preventative. Ian Smith, a diet expert, appeared on . This is going to be an exciting journey, but before you go any further, you must agree that during the next four weeks you will absolutely give your best effort to stick to the plan, minimize excuses, and keep pushing yourself even when you're discouraged or things seem difficult. The first week is critical, as it sets up your chances for success for the remaining three weeks. This is why it is called your Foundation week. You will build upon this week, and it's important to create your good habits now so they will carry you through the rest of the program. The more work you put in, the better the results you will get out. Because time is limited, you really need to hit the ground running. Each day you stick to the program is one day you get closer to your goal. Each day you overeat, skip more than one meal, or eat food that's not on the daily menu is considered a slip, and it takes you backward, away from your goal. If you slip when you are less than halfway through the week (days 1 to 3), go back to the beginning of the week. If you slip on any of days 5 to 7, just go back one day and do it again. If you slip on day 4, do day 4 again. Minor slips, such as having one extra small snack or eating your meal 3. No one is perfect and you're not expected to be. But at this point you will know if you had a major slip or just a minor slip. Not being honest about it only affects you and your results, so you are cheating no one but yourself and the results you will achieve by the end of the week. Timing is essential, as it distributes your calories in a way that keeps your fat- burning metabolism maximized and keeps your insulin hormone levels as stable as possible. Erratic hormone levels can cause weight gain, so the meal spacing structured in this program seeks to avoid hormone spikes as much as possible. Please note that this is only a sample. All of us get up and go to sleep at different times, so you have to set your schedule accordingly. If you keep in mind that the meals are 3 to 4 hours apart and the snacks are 1. Meal 4. Make sure you read all of the guidelines before beginning the plan, and since they are so short and convenient, feel free to circle back at any time during the week to check on things that you might have a question about. If your question still isn't answered, err on the side of caution by eating less or not eating a food that might not be allowed on the plan. Remember, we don't have a lot of time to lose this weight, so making good decisions is critical. It's okay to set the bar high, but it's not okay to make choices that are going to sabotage your chances of success. Regardless of what that number reads on the scale at the end of this week, if you gave it your best shot, that is the best you can do and that's the most you can ask of yourself. You still have three more weeks to produce results, so don't get upset and hang your head. We all lose weight at different speeds and in different places. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Smile and have lots of fun, especially during the tough times! SUPER SHRED Week 1 Grocery List.
