I want to do a cleanse for the first few days. only fruits and vegetables. anyone try it? does it work? I'm hungry.

No don't do that type of cleanse... protein and vegetables and eat every 3 hours to balance your blood sugar and prevent cravings in between

that is the fully in balance method Very Happy

I’m in! I’m trying to tell myself from now until Shavuos so that it’s not crazy overwhelming.
Maybe the support of others at the same time will keep me at it!

I agree. I'm a type 1 diabetic and fruit makes my blood sugar levels go very high!
I'm trying to work on having just protein and veg and if I'm getting low blood sugars I'll have an apple to hopefully nip it in the bud, to avoid having to have sweets. But it's all trial and error still as I'm a fairly new patient.

In the past my best method of losing weight fast is eating mostly vegetables and lean proteins only. I have lost 6 lbs in a week before or 15lbs in 3 weeks. It slows down though and you have to keep at it after that.

I didnt consider that. how is it better than fruits and veggies?

Cleansing with just fruits and veggies will not give you energy to finish your day. You need enough protein for muscle health and energy- It will help maintain a healthy metabolism and prevent the nutrient gaps for you to fall off your "diet".

I will be sharing more about this on Sunday if you want to join the Free session [link removed, please stop posting unpaid ads]

It is about having the right balance to make it work for you without starving

Remove all triggers and eat the right protein and vegetables - it can be plant based or animal protein but make sure you drink enough as well to help your your digestion, balance the nutrients you eat and most importantly flushes out toxins you ate the last days over Pesach

I am starting my journey and checking in here so I'll have some sort of accountability. I plan to try to drink more water, stop the sugar binges, and stop eating by 9pm each night. If I log in next week and haven't done that stuff, please chuck tomatoes at me. I might eat them. Laugh

We are super strict too. Potatoes is enough for me to gain 6 pounds.

All my Pesach weight is from meat and potatoes.

I’m starting keto because it’s the only diet that really lets me lose.

I’m in!
Need to lose around 15 pounds.
I was going to have a little bit of dark chocolate after supper and then be done eating for the day, but forced myself to drink a cup of coffee first and then lost the cheshek for the chocolate, so that’s my win for today.
I’ll try to go on the treadmill after the kids are sleeping.

ugh, I'm hungry and craving food. I ate veggies, fruit and basic proteins like salmon and leftover lean roast.
why do I feel like I need to eat?

It's the night time that's hardest for me craving sweets then. Chewing mint gum instead helps a little

I need to lose 30 pounds. Hope to lose the first few very fast since it was a quick gain.

That must have been a delicious Pesach! Smile
