I have tried lots of diet, enrolled in several gyms.. I even tried drinking water only for 3 days. Gosh i can still remember the headache and irritation..... at times i achieve my goals but then after a few months i gain it back again and worse with a vengeance. I realized that my diet were unrealistic.... all were crash diet. Until i tried this the fruit only breakfast. An aunt discussed to me the importance of eating raw fruits and vegetables aside from the basic reason that it is nutritious. It has something to do with enzymes. There are two source of enzymes, the natural one produced by the body and one coming raw foods. Enzymes is vital in human being. If no enzyme is left in the body, the body dies. We are naturally loaded with enzymes but digestive enzymes is destroyed in our food when cooked. and thus the body has to draw the necessary enzymes to digest the cooked foods we take in which in turn leads to decrease of body enzymes. Research has shown that this might be a cause of a lot of degenerative diseases.
In church, our preacher Bro. Bo also encourages us to load our body with plenty of raw foods and vegies. Of course the reason why i want to reduce my weight is to be healthy. To have good genes to pass on to my future children and grandchildren. To fit in my "old" clothes and look better. I made a declaration that I will eat fruits only for breakfast permanently. its easy to maintain, so delicious and exiting. I am blessed to live in a tropical country where fruits can be bought anywhere, its so affordable especially the fruits in season.
On my first day i started with drinking two glasses of water upon waking up, then i did a little stretching and walked around the neighborhood for about twenty to thirty minutes. Then upon returning home, i juiced some fresh carrots added an apple and a bunch of celery (research prove celery burns fat. i sipped it while cooling off and while i prepare my fruit salad which is usually composed of half an apple, half orange, papaya, and water melon . After two hours, i felt hungry and cant resist eating the rice cake a little girl peddled in our office. I did the same routine for the whole week and when i weighed myself, i was disappointed to see that i didn't lose any pound but at least i didn't gain any either. Despite the disappointment, i still continued my fruit only breakfast because i feel light and energized in the morning and whats best is that about 20 minutes after finishing my food, i am called to sit in my throne which doesnt take a minute to relieve.
On my second week, i weighed my self again and i was surprised to see that loosed 2 lbs. and the week after, i loosed another 2 lbs. I am now on my fourth week and i still manage to eat fruits only for breakfast. Studies also show that eating raw foods especially fruits only for breakfast gives the kidney and other organs time to rest..... I may have loosed the lbs very slowly but i am happy that i am losing weight without struggling much.
