A new habit takes about 6 weeks( 42 days) to set in and establish itself.
July 24 was my watershed day- I have had many more, its true- but the important thing is to get up, dust oneself and start over.
Day 1 : Plan
Go off sugar for 6 weeks- including white sugar, sugar substitutes- honey, agave( never eaten it, one bottle rests in my kitchen- gifted by my sister in law), jams( quite difficult) and a lot of fruits. Probably the only fruits allowed are 😦 2-3 pieces)
- Kiwi
- Blueberries and raspberries ( quite expensive here but if one’s got to eat them, one’s got to get them)
- Honeydew melon
- Pear ( with skin)
- Coconut( surprise here- never knew it was a fruit)- Coconut is no-no for me as I used to eat it a lot till I was diagnosed with xanthalessma and high triglycerides/cholesterol
Try to avoid these fruits :
- Watermelon( I can do this, it gives me a migraine)
- Grapes ( sadly, ok, can do it)
- Bananas( ok- well, I will need to break this fast a bit for some banana for a regular bowel movement)
- Mangoes ( of course)
Aim : To control sugar urges for 42 days- starting July 24
End date : September 4th, 2016
Results hoped for : weight loss of 10 kgs ( is that too optimistic ?)
Exercise : Plan to walk 1000 steps a day- week 1 – July 24- July 31
Water intake : high – like 7- 8 bottles a day ( 750 ml bottles)
