Since I don't actually care for the taste of this soup very much, I used an immersion blender on it yesterday to puree it. Now I just add a different sauce to every meal to change up the flavor profile, and honestly, it’s not bad at all.
If you can survive those first seven days on nothing but soup, you should probably take a break (like a one-week breather) and then jump back in. After that week, I switch over to the "food combining" diet. That’s way easier for me since I’m working all day and it's just simpler to manage. I’m not gaining weight, in fact, it's coming off, though maybe not super fast.
And there are two golden rules the whole time: WATER AND MORE EXERCISE!
Good luck to everyone out there fighting the good fight.👋
Right now I’m dropping 4 pounds and I am beyond thrilled....
I was also thinking about switching to food combining next week.🙂
Day 5 -> down 3 lbs🙂 I don't know, I'm getting a little nervous now; probably 2 of those 3 pounds are just water weight, but hey, if even one pound is actual fat—I'm still happy.🙂 Great start.👍
Otherwise, I drink plenty of Kool-Aid (which helps) and water... I haven't even given up coffee (no way!)
Ugh, I wish I could hold out that long!🙂
Good luck to you and Brian Martin9!
