3pm: Fading a bit more than yesterday I have to admit. Have to make a trip to the juice bar. Thought I could tolerate till 4 but losing concentration at work. Green power to the rescue! Spinach, apples and lemon. Refreshing, did the trick. After 8 juices, I really wanted some hot and healthy so I made a trip to the supermarket to pick up some vegetables. Let's have soup tonight!!- 6

Exactly 24 hours later, my weight plunged 2kg. In one day, I'm back to my pre Birthday celebration weight (which I've celebrated for over a week)!! Woohoo! Still too early to rejoice so let's keep the juice diet going strong. Woke up today feeling pretty decent, nothing shouts hungry. Must be body adjusting well. Took my usual multivitamins and there's a bottle of oolong tea (known to be good

Mum decided to join in the juice diet so I doubled the portion tonight. We have something orange :) - 6/8 sticks of celery - 2 green apples - 3 carrots - 4 cucumbers - 2 kiwis - 1/2 pineapple Not too sweet and has a very clear taste.  Day one accomplished! My stomach was growling like embarrassing loud when I was in my facial appointment just now. The hunger pangs was

3PM alert! Ok, this might sound crazy but I am NOT hungry. It's not raining today but I'm feeling a bit chilly in office. Might be body temperature adjusting to the new diet. Slight headache, drop in energy level and it's a familiar feeling when I started the south beach diet. So all manageable. Off to the nearby juice bar for some energy refill. Beet, green apple and star fruit

I survived till 11:15AM. Surprisingly, even though I am feeling a bit buzzed, I am not desperately hungry.  Recapping the recipe for afternoon juice: A pineapple a day - 1/2 pineapple - A bit of ginger (trying to jazz things up a little) - 1 carrot - 1-2 sticks of celery - 1 green apple  Keeping the juice in a thermal flask actually works out well. The temperature

After yesterday's brief introduction with a simple juice dinner. Today let's officially kick start day 1 of juicy fruity diet! For 3 days, I'm only allow fruit and vegetable juice and some portion of fruits. I am pretty sure there's sufficient vitamins with the pile of fresh produce I'm having but I'll take my usual dose of multi vitamins just in case anyway. How am I feeling now?  I've

Alright!!! After a week of indulgence, my guilt trigger is now set off and I am self declaring war with fatty food for 3 days and my first attempt with juice diet. Last salad for lunch today. P.S. The base is full of mixed leaves and spinach. Will post daily updates if I survive...  And here we go...  A trip to Fairprice to pick up groceries. We have spinach,
