Jay Robb's 3 Day Fruit Protein and Veggie Diet

Hey Yall!!!

Havent posted in SO long forgive me!!!!! However, I still appreciate those who come to me for fitness advice and for still being interested in my fitness blog!!! I love super psyched ppl who are ready to be fit or keep fit!!! I EFFIN LOVE IT!!! Soooo - I have so much to update with this blog!

Let's start with NOW:

I am starting the Jay Robb 3 day Fruit Diet (www.JayRobb.com) - I was looking for an alternate cleanse to do to jumpstart me into my lifestyle change!!! I am preparing to eat reallllly clean - I'm going into The Ab Diet after this!! It's not sooo much a diet..it's more of a way of life to a way of eating - still eating 6 meals a day but eating reallly reallly clean - lots of live foods (raw veggies and such). Lots of foods cause bloating and I have an issue with that and The Ab Diet helps reduce that with providing the right foods to eat.

So back to this 3 day Fruit Cleanse...I've researched it and you can possibly lose up to 9 pounds - NOW i do NOT need to lose so much weight but in order for me to get as lean as possible and for my muscles in my tummy to POP i need to leaaann out REAL good and this is a great way to do it! PROTEIN and FRUIT and VEGGIES what more could you ask for lol.

I saw a News Channel from Baltimore do a special on this Cleanse and one of the reporters did the challenge and lost 4lbs.! So it works!!! Along with other success stories - I'm pretty optimistic about this. Plus it isn't all strange concoctions like The Master Cleanse which has you running to the damn bathroom - dont NOBODY have time to be diarrheaing on themselves in public lol.

So Day 1:

From 8am - 4pm every 2 hours you drink a Whey Protein (the protein drink should NOT contain artificial flavors and other things - best one to get is Jay Robbs protein powder that I found in GNC!!! awesome - didnt have to order it online and it costs $25!)

Drink a glass of water an hour after you drink the shake so if you drink the shake at 8, do water at 9, shake at 10, water at 11..and so on

Then at 6pm you eat a rawww salad - no dressing - the dressing should consist of avocado a tbs of olive oil and a half squeezed lemon or lime and only for the first day can you have a lean protein in your salad (turkey breast, chicken breast, fish, beef, egg)

For the rest of the 2 days, go to this website (http://www.wbaltv.com/r/10281092/detail.html) - it is the News website that actually tried out the Cleanse. They provided a list of ingredients you need as well as the schedule!!! Sooo tomorrow I start Day 1 and I'm so excited to get these toxins out of my body, shed some water poundage and get lean and trim - we will see how this goes...!!!! Here's my Pre Jay Robbs Fruit Cleanse video from YouTube.com/MissChiney1 ;)

What in the WATER RETENTION?!

Sooo you're working out and even though you have changed your diet, you notice that you arent losing the weight.  Or on Sunday you were able to fit into a pair of pants that on Saturday were way too uncomfortable to put on. Or if you're me, you notice the slightest foods can make you bloated/retain water. I was talking to my mom about this and she informed me that there are Diuretic's you can take to help you eliminate water weight. Diuretics are foods, drinks, etc that aid your body in removing excess water in your body - by urinating. Increasing your diuretic intake helps your body rid toxins, eliminate water weight, and lower blood pressure. Cellulite is also a form of fat and water retained in your body.  It is important that you eat enough protein - protein helps draw out that extra water that is retained. Also, eating enough calories for your weight is important, starving yourself will allow you to retain water as well.  NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER WILL ALSO MAKE YOUR BODY RETAIN WHAT WATER IS IN YOUR BODY - SO AGAIN H20 IS SOOO IMPORTANT (CHECK MY PREVIOUS BLOG FOR INFO ON H20) .

Many foods that we eat cause us to RETAIN water - so we gota watch what we eat - of course! THE 3 MAIN FOODS THAT CAUSE YOU TO RETAIN WATER: SALTY FOODS, ALCOHOL AND STARCHY FOODS!

AVOID/LIMIT THESE FOODS:

canned veggies (green beans, corn, etc)

canned soup

prepackaged mashed potatoes

breads, pastas, rices (if they say "refined" or "enriched" STAY AWAY!)

tomato juices, sauces

frozen meals (contain large hidden amounts of HIGH SODIUM

ALL alcoholic beverages

chips, crackers, etc.

processed meats (bacon, ham, bologna, etc.)

processed cheeses

MSG (used in many foods, lots in Chinese food - =( (i love chinese food!)

sodas, coffees, teas

THERE ARE MORE FOODS OF COURSE, BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT LIST THEM ALL - THE ABOVE LIST IS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT NOT TO INDULGE IN - NOT TO SAY COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THEM, BUT IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO REALLY LIMIT YOUR INTAKE OF THESE.

INCORPORATE THESE FOODS (NATURAL DIURETICS):

WATER!!!!!!! (ADD A FRESH SQUEEZED LEMON)

FRESH FRUITS - FROZEN OR NOT - NOT CANNED!

FRESH VEGGIES (LETTUCES, ETC.) - NOT CANNED!

GREEN TEAS

OATS

HIGH POTASSIUM FOODS (BANANAS, AVOCADOS, MELON, CHICKEN, ETC.)

CALCIUM (MILK, YOGURTS, ETC.)

PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN! (LEAN MEATS, EGGS, FISH, ETC.)  EACH MEAL!

So next time when you're feeling a little bloated you know why! And instead of turning to a prescription, go to healthy foods!! You'll notice a major difference - especially women on their menstrual cycle when you get bloated around that time, eat the right foods to flush out that water!!!!

ABS-OLUTELY

Are you doing 1000 situps and not seeing results? How many times have you heard do situps to get abs? Yea that may be true - actually it IS true...situps/crunches strengthens your ab muscles and will create abs in due time, BUT where are they? Oh yea, they're hiding behind the layer of FAT we have to get rid of!!!! You can do situps and crunches until your butt is blue in the face, but that won't change a THING on their appearance if you don't minimize and shred that layer of subcutaneous fat that is between your skin and the ab muscles you are working on so hard.

The NUMBER ONE key factor in getting abs is: DIET!!!

The SECOND key is DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION!! without these 3Ds you will not achieve your abs.

To want this you have to realllly be dedicated to your DIET. You need to really be able to challenge yourself at what foods you eat and how often you exercise.

Eating healthy and eating the proper foods along with strength training and cardio is the ONLY way you are going to get abs - unless you are going to have them surgically implanted - and oh yea they do have that these days yikes! Who's tryna have a doctor carve abs in their muscles..ouch lol.

LOWERING YOUR BODY FAT:

CARDIO will do the trick - and not just any CARDIO - we want HIIT!! (what's HIIT? check my previous blog about it here: http://fitness.chiney.me/post/8132171398/hiit-me)

EATING the correct foods (SEE LINK FOR "AB FOODS": http://ca.askmen.com/sports/foodcourt_200/212_eating_well.html

http://ca.askmen.com/sports/foodcourt_200/202_eating_well.html

http://www.best-abs-exercises.com/abs-diet-plan.html

STRENGTH TRAINING - weights - gym gym gym!

BUILD YOUR AB MUSCLES:

*never train your abs everyday - you can overtrain them and then you'll have bulgy abs and your stomach will bulge - also youll want to let your abs rest so the muscles can recover - recovery = abs!*

Training your abs every other day or 3 times a week is good - as long as it is consistent ;) AND when you train your abs - EQUALLY train them or you will have an awkward looking pack lol.

TRAIN THEM IN THIS ORDER: LOWER ABS, UPPER ABS, OBLIQUES

TRAIN THEM SLOWLY WITH HIGH RESISTANCE - DONT JUST LOOSELY DO CRUNCHES OR LEG LIFTS - ACTUALLY CONTRACT YOUR ABS!!

check out these ab exercises - VERY HELPFUL!!! :

THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL ON WHAT U SHOULD EAT FOR A LEAN STOMACH:

WANNA BURN STOMACH FAT??!!!:

http://www.best-abs-exercises.com/how-to-lose-belly-fat.html

AND FOR THE MOMMIES!!! YES YOU CAN LOSE THAT LOWER BELLY POUCH BUT YOU MUST BE DETERMINED YOU MUST HAVE DEDICATION AND BE READY FOR THE CHALLENGE - GET THAT SELF DISCIPLINE! THE REASON FOR THAT LOWER BELLY POUCH IS - THANKS TO OUR LIL ONES - LOL - DURING PREGNANCY YOUR MUSCLES SEPARATE TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE LILO BABY OR BABIES IN YOUR BELLY. THIS SEPARATION IS CALLED DIASTASIS RECTI. ALL WOMEN WILL HAVE SEPARATION - OTHERS MAY HAVE EXTREME SEPARATION. WITH LITTLE TO NO SEPARATION YOU CAN GET THAT BELLY BACK IN SHAPE USING THE AB EXERCISES AND DIETS STATED IN THIS BLOG (always consult a physician)

SEE THIS VIDEO ON HOW TO CHECK FOR DIASTASIS RECTI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzIrt82maws

**IN VERY SEVERE CASES, NO MATTER HOW MANY SITUPS YOU DO, IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOUR AB MUSCLES TO REPAIR AND RECONNECT TO GET ABS**
