In my personal blog, I
wrote about my New Year’s Resolutions and how I failed, again, to fulfill two
of them (one is to run three to four kilometers a day and the other is to lose
ten pounds by the tenth of February or what I called my “ten on ten”).

Instead, I gained back the
ten pounds I lost doing the South Beach Diet last year. I know.
I fell in love with carbs again. Carbs
never fail to ruin my diet…

I really need a diet to
jump-start my weight loss, and trying to stay away from carbs without a fixed
meal plan prepared for me is extremely hard.

I do plan to try another diet which I did a
couple of years ago which involved protein powder. I kid not. Protein powder can aid in weight loss.

Instead of making a shake
using protein powder, however, you make “protein
water”. You just need a scoop of the powder to add to your water or tea.
Let’s face it. You can only eat
so much boiled eggs and meat slices until you get literally sick of them and
long for carbs again. Sipping your
protein water within the day before meals can curb your cravings and make you feel full.

If you intend to jumpstart
your weight loss (like me), you can do the One-Day Diet. This
diet is kind of harsh, because it is sort of a fast (maybe, you can do this on
Holy Week).

Regular fasting requires only
water, which makes people doing the fast extremely hungry. With the protein powder power added to the water which you drink every two hours though, you will never feel hungry. This diet makes you alternate days of eating
normally and days with just having the Protein Water every two hours. I know it is quite extreme, especially if you
are that kind of person (like me) who loves something to chew on. Drinking protein water every two hours for the whole day practically makes you
full though. You won’t feel hungry at
all. The downside is when you go to work
and people will wonder why you keep drinking those shakers.

What makes it easy is that
you just do it for a day. The next day,
you will be back to your normal eating habits (although since you may have lost
some weight, you will be more mindful of your eating). Then, on the next day, you go back to your protein water every two hours again. If you feel that drinking your
protein water is a chore and you got tired of the taste, you can always
purchase protein powders in different flavors.

I am not so sure of the
long-term benefit. The time I tried it
two years ago, I did lose weight. For
jump-starting my weight loss, I am hoping it will work again.

I so want to lose weight but I'm not into all different kinds of diet. I wanted to do it the old-fashioned way, diet and exercise, but I never run out of excuse. At least, you're doing something about 1 day at a time.
Good luck with losing weight. 🙂
Agree.. you can only eat so much boiled eggs and meats hahaha! Happened to me! Waaahhh!
I know! Kakasawa! But if you try naman this protein powder, it smells sort of funky haha. Hayy, things I write for opps…
There are so many diet drinks it gets confusing. I tried herbalife but I just ate more because I got hungry everyday.
Haven't really tried any of those diet drinks. 😀 But I think moderation in food intake and exercise will do the trick.
