Body Focus System Weight Loss Success
I went to a Body Focus System seminar to hear what they had to say and I was surprised. The Detox is what really got my attention. I had always wanted to try a detox, but did not like the thought of having only liquids or having to drink some crazy mixture that tasted like who knows what.
I decided to sign up and give this "diet" a try. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I did! Let me first tell you about the detox. I started with the fruit detox in August and from the first day there was more to eat than I ever expected. I always assumed a diet would be about eating food you don't like and trying to forget about how hungry you are. With the detox, there were days that I was eating a snack before I was even hungry. I lost over 7 pounds during the detox eating fruits that I like and not feeling hungry at all.
I then moved into the "diet" part of the program and started following the daily menus on the web site. The web site makes it easy for you to put together and print shopping lists, so you don't go crazy trying to make your own. Select the daily menus you want to use, and a list is made for you. The meals are easy to follow and the recipes are simple to prepare. The web site also allows you to see how what you are eating impacts your total calories, fat, and carbohydrates for the day. All you need to do is record what you've eaten throughout the day.
I have now joined a gym and have started exercising 2-3 days a week and I'm feeling better and stronger that I have in years.
This was a real learning experience for me. My meals used to be if it's good and fits on my plate, it's for me. My wife and I have tried a number of the recipes from the site like Cornmeal Pancakes With Applesauce, Feathery Pancakes, Fish With Cucumber Sauce, Honey Roasted Cornish Hens, Vegetable Patties and my favorite, Garlic-Spinach Dip that is almost addicting.
I have now lost 20 pounds in 2 ½ months and I feel great. I noticed that this is not a "diet", at least not by the definition I had for a diet. This program is all about learning how to eat healthy and make smart choices eating what I call normal food.
I feel fully confident that I will be able to continue to lose the rest of the weight and be back to the weight I was in my 20's.
