I’m at home blogging!

Not that I have anything better to do *sigh* lol. Well I must admit I did head to Max Brenner tonight. Do you guys have that wherever you are from? It’s a chocolate restaurant which is so amazing!

Here is my sneaky trick to feeling like you’ve indulged in some chocolate without having too many calories.
What I do is order a skinny cappuccino (it comes with chocolate drizzled on top). Only have 1 raw sugar with it..and then steal one or two pieces of fruit dipped in chocolate or mouthfuls of whatever my boyfriend/sister/friend is having.

Anyway back to the blogging…Taylor Swifts new video clip comes out on the 27th. Anybody else excited?

Theres a sneak peek on her website.

Ps: I have new hair (again)

PPS: Follow me on twitter!! My username is MelissaJadeL we can talk about diets and whatnot haha :)

It’s been a few weeks since I went on the diet solution program. So here’s whats been happening!

After 7 days my weight went from 53.7kg to 51.3kg. Now I’m not sure exactly how much was water weight and how much was actual fat loss. (Stay tuned, I’ll put a video up on youtube. I’m a bit sick during the filming of the video so excuse the weird voice)

In week 2 I had lost a further 1.2kg which brought my weight to 50.1kg.

Unfortunately I’m an idiot and didn’t get before photos!! I do have an after photo.

I decided to go off the diet after 2 weeks. It’s very hard as a vegetarian to sustain living without many protein sources. The book says that too much soy (tofu etc) is bad for you. I have cut back on soy products and have started making healthier choices. I enjoy receiving Isabel De Los Rios’s daily emails, they have lots of handy tips!
I now have a juicer permanently in my kitchen so when I crave something sweet I have a freshly squeezed juice.

Here is a current photo after the Diet Solution Program. I wish I had a before photo, I feel alot thinner and fitter after the 2 weeks on the Diet Solution program. It was a total weight loss of 3.6kg in 2 weeks! (7.92lbs).

Do I recommend the program?

Yes and no. I’d be lying if I said that as a vegetarian you will benefit from this program. If you are a meat eater then yes you will definitely have success if you stick with the program.

What exercise did I do during the program?

I did a few spin classes per week (probably 3 the first week, 4 the second) and had two half hour personal training sessions that focused on legs.

Hey all!

Thanks for checking back to the site. I’m sorry I have let you guys down over the past week with the lack of posting
I’ve got the dreaded flu going around so my days have consisted of sleeping/watching tv/more sleep.

I did take a video for the diet solution update one week in and I’m hopefully going to have it  up tomorrow.
I’ll also put some more celeb diets posts up too :)

How are you all doing!? (really, I want to know! Write it in the comments section)

Ps: I am also responding to emails tomorrow too so sorry about the late reply

I’m sorry its taken so long! I recorded this video on Monday but kept having audio sync problems with windows movie maker. I had to download a new video editing program and finally got it up today.
I’ve been on the program since Tuesday. My weight was actually considerably higher than I thought so check back next week because I’ll be getting on the scales to see if the diet is working.
It’s a pretty hardcore diet. There are fruit and vegetables that you are allowed to eat but you aren’t really supposed to have too much sugar. All sources of sugar that aren’t natural have been cut out basically.
The sprouted rye bread is gross, I don’t like it at all! It tastes like a weird dense cake that isn’t sweet. I can imagine some people would enjoy it.
I feel a bit thinner already! I haven’t weighed myself yet though (doing that on Tuesday on the video).
Do you want to see me make the veggie dhal or vegetarian shepherds pie and put it on youtube?
Both recipes come from the Diet Solution recipe book. Let me know!
How is everyone else going on the program?

I haven’t actually read The Diet Solution yet. I’m doing it today! And my fridge and cupboard are both very empty so I’ll be going to the supermarket and buying some healthy Diet Solution approved meals. I’ll put a video up later of all the healthy and delicious food I buy!

Ps: I had a sundae from mcdonalds last night and it was delicious
