My 10 days of attempting a DETOX DIET PROGRAMME! (Holistic Health Therapy)

July 2, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I’m pretty sure most of you would already know that I’m constantly on the goal of becoming a skinnyb!tch, right?

In my context, I’m not referring to being stick-thin or aneroxic.

 

I strive to be extremely slim and slender, just as I was when I was 18/19 years old

You might think it’s impossible for a 23 year old to return to the body of an 18 year old, but trust me.

 

It IS possible.

My skinniest/slimmest year. Shot during Christmas in 2008

 

I have friends (models) who roughly share the same height as I do (some even taller!) and they weigh so much lesser than I do.

For those who don’t know, I stand at 170cm in height. This is the part where I debate with myself whether or not I should tell you my weight. Hmm..

 

Probably not 😛

In any case, I aim to be 55KG again. That was my optimum weight where I was so slim, toned and fit.

 

2 weeks ago, my buddies Venessa & Cheez suggested I attempt a detox diet programme with them.

 

You know, like, “Shall we do it together?”

I jumped on the bandwagon the very second I was asked.

Why, of course. I’d do anything to be a skinnyb!tch again 😀

Another detox to think about is the Coffee Enema detox. But that’s for another time.

 

So we headed straight for the markets & bought everything we needed for our healthy detox diet.

This diet isn’t just to rid your body of excess fat & toxins to aid weight loss but it also helps you clear your entire system, improve your complexion, cleanse your liver & so on.

All I can say is, my alcohol-drenched liver & tar-laden respiratory system will thank me for that!

 

So much love! 

 

I will now share my experience (and track my own progress) and hopefully, I am disciplined enough to endure the much-dreaded 10 days.

I believe you can too! 🙂

 

DAY 1 – DAY 3 (Cleansing Stage)

Purpose : Reduce rations of food to prepare the body to move from solid food to liquid food

 

Fruits, vegetables, nuts & course grains for ALL meals!

Minimal eggs (steamed/hardboiled)

No starch/refined carbohydrates! i.e : rice, bread, noodles

No tea & coffee

No seasoning except natural salt & pure honey

No oil!

 

Here’s what I did, separating my portions into 3 days so I get a balanced intake of different fruits & vegetables

 

 

Here’s a brief summary of what I ate:

 

Breakfast platter!

Fluffly scrambled eggs with broccoli and carrots


Snacking on pineapples!

Cherry Tomato ice blended juice

Hardboiled eggs with black pepper!

Bananas & watermelon make a good pair for lunch!

One of my faves – fresh coconut water!

Chopchopchopped fruits!

Giant plate of veggies for dinner!

Mashed potato with carrot slices

Stir fry potatoes, cherry tomatoes and onions

Green apple snack!

DAY 4 – DAY 6 (Fasting Stage)

Purpose : For slimming (3 days), better health (7 days) & chronic illness (14 days)

 

Drink only the prescribed fruits & vegetable juice for ALL meals (8 glasses a day)

Recipe : ONLY Carrot + cucumber + celery + green apple + beetroot + ginger slice

Drink it sip by sip.. slowly!

 

My buys and I at Cold Storage!

 

Shopping shopping!

Your buddies for 3 days. Give them a thorough juice

By the time I was in the middle of this stage, my spirit and willpower to go on dropped immensely.

I was miserable. I was weak. My cravings kicked in so badly. I was hungry for food that satisfies my tastebuds. I was yearning for something else to eat. I almost gave up.

But I didn’t.

 

 

Being on a liquid diet is not easy, just ensure you have more than enough a supply of your juice

 

Breakfast

Brought along my “lunch” with me when I’m on the go!

Be sure to drink MORE THAN 2000 ml everyday. 

I drank about 2500 ml per day, and that wasn’t enough for me at all. I was thirsty and hungry 🙁

 

DAY 7 – 10 (Recovery Stage)

Purpose : To prepare the body to return to its normal stage of solid food

Should you not do this properly, your stomach will risk aching & bloatedness

 

Day 7 : Fruit & vegetable juice and its pulp/remains from juicing

Day 8 : Uncooked fresh fruits & vegetables

Day 9 : Cooked vegetables & mushy food i.e : mashed potato, mashed fruits & vegetables

Day 10 : Simple/easy-to-digest meat i.e : fish

 

Arriving this stage fueled my motivation to finish it all the way.

At last! I was able to eat solid food again, goodbye to the horrid liquid diet that puts you off after a day.

 

Blended fruits & vegetables (with pulp) for Day #7!

Broiled broccoli and carrots with lots of garlic, onions & basil!

 

Breakfast platter!

Water stir-fry veggies and mushrooms!

Fruit juice & pulp!

Scrambled eggs with bok choy and brinjals!

Lunch platter!

About to make my pumpkin and vegetable stew for Day #9!

Lovely! My overnight slow-cooked pumpkin & vegetable stew is ready to be eaten

Orange, carrot & papaya juice!

Scrambled eggs with spinach and button mushrooms

Steamed fish with vegetables for Day #10!

Smoked salmon slices!

 

I can’t believe I did it. Enduring the 10 days of detox food was ironically, an enjoyable torture.

It deprives/hurts/frustrates so good ‘cos you know you’re doing your body a great favour! 😀

 

Throughout the whole 10 days, ensure you drink PLENTY of water to flush out whatever you’ve detoxified & sleep before 12am. For my dear readers who lead an active nightlife, this will be the hardest part.

NO SMOKING. NO ALCOHOL. NO SHISHA. NO GREENS. NO PILLS.

(basically anything toxic)

 

If I can do it, so can you! Remember, this is a VERY strict 10-day diet

The results? I feel healthier, lost a few kilograms, learnt so much about healthy living & healthy eating

I dare you to take on the challenge!

What’s for dindins, ma? On the menu : Black Pepper Stir Fried Beef + “chocolate brownies”

August 2, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Yay Yay! Time for another page outta my lil Chef at Home cookbook! 

One fine day, Verity and I decided to cook up some Asian cuisine for dinner – Black Pepper Stir Fried Beef

 

in the process! I like my meals with heaps of veggies 😀

 

Verity helping to chop more veggies! 

 

Lots and lots of garlic paste in the already-marinaded beef chunks!

 

Okay to be honest, the original dish was supposed to be Chicken Stir Fry.

But we changed it entirely to Black Pepper Beef Stir Fry! Then again, no one follows the cookbooks 😉

 

ESPECIALLY ME.

 

After putting everything in the wok!

 

Letting it simmer and absorb all the juices 😀 Omnomnomnom

Oh and you know what's our secret ingredient? Wine!  

 

Lots and lots of it!

 

After letting it simmer for another half an hour, I just gave it some more herbs and condiments to taste.

Used heaps of black pepper seeds too 😀 😀

 

Ta-da!! Almost ready!

 

Erin was on the other side of the kitchen, also busy cooking.

But since she's vegan, all her meals were strictly vegetarian – no meat of any sort!

 

*sizzle sizzle*

 

For dessert, we decided to bake a special chocolate cake. *wink*

Omnomnomnom. Ima chocolate maniac, if you didn't already know 😀 

 

Prepare all the ingredients needed

 

Melted chocolate, butter and yummy delish stuff :P

 

Pour it in with chopped walnut chunks!

 

Ooooh look at that nutty chocolatey goodness 😀

 

As usual, this is what my friends and I do after I've finished pouring the entire cake mix into the baking tin.

Who wants to waste good chocolate? 😛
 

NOBODY. 

 

Popped it into the oven and waited for the magic to happen.

In the meantime, our Black Pepper Stir Fry Beef was ready to be eaten with steamed rice 

 

Bon Appetit!

 

Doesn't look really appetizing in the photo ;( ;( Cos I was too hungry and couldn't give two hoots about taking pictures. Just wanted to gobble it! I was delighted when my friends loved it just as much as I did!

One of them said it was spicy as! *giggle* Well, toughen up! Get used to Asian spicy food 😛

 

 

This was Erin's vegetable dish!

 

She let me take as many photos as I wanted before she ate 😛 Yay!

After eating and got really full to the brim, it was time to bring out the special chocolate cake! 😉

 

Walnuts ahoy!

 

Don't know why we turned the cake upside down and ate it that way instead

 

Yay everyone liked it!

 

Okay speaking of which, I'm really darn hungry as we speak.

Imma head out for dindins with the bestie now.

 

And to all my Muslim readers out there, Selamat Berbuka Puasa!
