The Fresh Diet: Day 14

December 20, 2010 By Lena

For the last two weeks, I’ve been wrapping presents, fine tuning holiday menus, cleaning the house, getting the boys ready to meet Santa, and about a thousand other little things that always seem so vitally important around the holidays.

Oh, and in the past two weeks, I’VE ALSO LOST 8 POUNDS ON THE FRESH DIET!

That’s right folks – after my initial loss of 5 lbs, I followed it up with and additional 3 lbs of flab. I’m starting to like the shape of my thighs again! And, today while shopping, I quickly tried on a snazzy little top… and was pleasantly surprised to find medium was too big; that’s right, I’m down with size S again! Woot! Woot!

A few readers have asked about portion sizes, so I’ll say this: it’s as much food as I was normally eating pre-diet. I am NEVER hungry, because I’m eating the same quantities (sometimes more), just better food. In fact, tonight I actually gave my husband an entire portabella mushroom cap, because there were two included in the meal (in addition to a grilled chicken breast and honey glazed carrots). But I just had to make room for my Pina Colada Cheesecake, you see.

Once I get down 10 lbs I’ll be posting a picture – can’t wait to show off my new curves!

The Fresh Diet has a nifty promotion on at the moment that shouldn’t be missed – Get 5 days for just $155! That’s only $31 per day for the most delicious, healthy and convenient meals you’ll ever enjoy. What can you do with 5 days? You can:

1. Kick start your healthy eating. In just five days, I was already down 4 lbs. Imagine how much better you would feel; imagine how much motivated you would be to keep going. Some customers (who initially had more weight to lose) have even reported being down 6-8 lbs in the first few days. Holla!

2. Treat someone. Shauna made the wonderful suggestion of giving The Fresh Diet to a new mom. OMG. What a splendid idea! Imagine – coming home from the hospital, and having all your meals (plus snacks!) taken care of. No planning, no cooking, no thinking. Plus, you know that the meals will be nutritionally balanced, which is essential to keep up your energy for all those sleepless nights. And with the current promo, it’s more affordable than ever to give this awesome gift. You’ll be a hero!

3. Curb your post-Christmas spending. What are you going to spend $155 on this Boxing Day? Gadgets? Clothes you don’t need? Other stuff you probably won’t use. Take that money and do something for yourself!

Call The Fresh Diet today and make your healthy eating goals a reality. And… don’t forget you can ENTER TO WIN The Fresh Diet for 31 days!

    I love this post! I can't wait to see the 10 lbs GONE, KICKED TO THE CURB picture.I also can't wait until you are finished with your month of meals and post your own commentary on "Top 10 Reasons I LOVE the Fresh Diet". Ok there that's my challenge to you – you still have 2 weeks to think of and refine all your reasons. It really is hard to narrow it down to just 10!

    Congrats again Charlene! It's so great that you're seeing such amazing results! I'm sure you look gorgeous, as usual. I wish that I had this option after having my boys. I didn't eat normally for the first month after they were born! Can't wait to see your Yummy Mummy pic :)

    That is awesome that it is working so well. Makes me wish I was a little closer to Toronto so I could try it.

    Thanks ladies! I'm a little nervous with Christmas around the corner, but the last thing I want to do is de-rail my progress, so I think I'll do just fine! xo

    Don't worry about over indulging at Christmas…I have a feeling you will be fine! It sounds as if you have a good handle on the foods you both need and like and the odd little treat won't diminish your great work! Many congratulations and keep up the good work!
