How I Lost 11 Lbs. Without Exercise

Here Are my Before and After Photos

Before

After Losing 11 Lbs.

I started my weight loss regimen, January 4, 2015.  The plan I followed was Jorge Cruise's The Belly Fat CureTM Fast Track: Discover the Ultimate Carb SwapTM and Drop Up to 14 lbs. the First 14 Days.  I followed the regimen to the best I could.  Some of the food in the plan were not available in my country so I had to do substitutions.  In 14 days, I lost 7 lbs.

After the 14th day,  losing 1 lb.  became longer to achieve but I kept on.  It took me 4 - 7 days to lose a pound of weight,  but the good thing was I was losing inches around my waist and my belly.  From a waistline of 40 inches,  I now have a 33 inch waist.

Middle of February,  I changed my eating plan.  For breakfast I have coffee with butter (Anchor unsalted) and stevia.  I eat an egg ( sunny-side up or scrambled ) if I feel hungry later in the morning.  For lunch I eat fish, chicken, pork or beef (cooked anyway I like it but without sugar or flour) with cooked or fresh veggies. Sometimes I eat these with 1/4 cup of steamed rice.

Evenings I drink a green smoothie.  The smoothie is my dinner.  This sustains me till morning without hunger pains.

My goal is to weigh 120 lbs and have a 25 inch waist.  I have to read Jorge Cruise's book again.

I Looked Obese and I Hated That Image of Myself

Last time I posted an article here was in 2013.  Let me confess.  I became heavier.  My weight reached the 150 lbs. limit for my built and height.  I saw myself for the first time, and I was shocked.  I looked double my younger self (98 lbs.) and I didn't like how I looked.  That was 1:00 AM New Year's Day, 2015.  We were happily shouting Happy New Year and taking photos of one another.  Then boom... my son showed me a photo he has just taken of me.  Shock and realization came flooding over me... I am OBESE...OBESE...OBESE.

I could not sleep well that New Year's Day. Much later that day I opened my laptop and searched for the fastest but healthy weight loss plan I can follow.  I started the plan January 4, 2015.  It is now March 6.  I've lost a total of 12 lbs.  My goal is to weigh 115 lbs. which is a healthy weight for my height, built and age.

My doctor was amazed that I lost that much in just a short time.  She said that women my age have a lot of difficulty shedding excess poundage. 

In my next postings, I will narrate my experience and talk of the plan I followed.
