The 3 hour diet was something that exploded about 3-4 years ago.
And, although a lot of people put it to the test… Some people were saying that it worked… some people were saying it didn’t and wasn’t necessary.
With that said… A few years ago i got an app ( FREE ) on my phone, called “ 3 Hour Diet Reminder Life”. And, although i don’t apply the specifics of that diet to my lifestyle.
I still however do use the app. Let me tell you why.
I am the type of person, that can go from 0 - HANGRY… in about 5 minutes within feeling the emotion of hunger. And, basically when i use this app, and keep having little snacks / meals through out the day… I find i never let myself get into that feeling of SUPER starving!
Because i find thats when i end up eating the WORST, and the MOST!
So basically how the app works, is you hit the alarm button to let it know that you have ate… and then it sets a timer for 3 hours from that current moment in time.
Then when the buzzer goes off, you eat again.
There are 5 cycles of this, representing 5 small meals a day. I often find when the buzzer goes off i am not that hungry, but… i kind of like that, because i have a smaller snack ( aka a piece of fruit ) and a glass of water.
I just found that this has been useful for me, and i thought i would share… And i definitely think you should try it out to if you are someone who gets ridiculously hangry ! LOL i find that it has been in the best benefit for me, and those around me!!
I have been ordering Shakeology for a few months now, however- it’s really only within the last 2-3 weeks that i have been drinking it on the regular.
When i first placed my order, i got a bunch of different recipes that i could try, to kinda jazz it the regular taste of it up.
And, to be honest. I should have just tried the Shakeology on its own. Because, i found that it was WAY tastier on it’s own.. .than it was when i kept on adding more to it.
Anyways, it’s only as of… well, just before i wrote this blog post, that i really knew or understood, what, and how much, and HOW good- Shakeology is for you.
Now, i know a lot of people bang on about the drinks that they are drinking.
But, truthfully… I have tried a few other shakes ( from companies that will remain nameless ), and they were just god awful.
And, i am the type of person… that if it taste nasty, you can bet its gonna sit in the pantry, until i can pan it off one someone who is in need/ too poor/ a student… or someone who is lacking tastebuds.
Anyways after that little ramble… I thought i would tell you what i all i found out about Shakeology !
140 Calories
70 Super Ingredients
100% Natural
Helps you lose weight
Helps lower your cholesterol
lower blood sugar
and keep you full
Now, i didn’t have any issues with some of the things listed above… However, i can 100 Vouch for the fact that i am kept full by drinking this!
I also found a super useful chart of what, and how Shakeology compares to others products.
This is an area, I’m usually super unfamiliar with… Because, i just never really know what i am looking for, or whats good or not good when i look at the ingredients in certain weightless/ protein shakes or drinks.
Have you tried Shakeology? What's your favorite flavor / Combo?
I totally fell off the bandwagon this summer- and my body is really starting to show it... Between all the summer festivals, parties, and simple just being a social butterfly. I found it really hard to stay on track as per my diet, and especially as per working out.
Another issue, is i started having severe back issues in july, and that really had things come to a screeching halt... Because there are some days i find it difficult to walk.
That being said, now that.... I'm starting to blow u like a blimp, i have no choice but to push through the pain.
With that, i have to say that PiYo has been the BEST choice for me to get back on track with since it is a low impact work out- i feel like i am doing something but my back isn't crippling me beyond the point of return.
Anyway, i thought i would drop a quick line here saying that i am BACK and ready to attack (LOL).
And i will not fail this time around... Especially as i have joined a challenge group this time to help hold me accountable!
As you may, or may not have noticed... I have been a little bit MIA... Not only from my blog, but from staying committed to my weightloss / fitness journey.
That being said... When i saw this picture this morning, i really felt as if it was speaking to me.
Be it that summer has been winding down... tons of festivals, and a little vacation...Any progress that i did have... went right out the window.
I took a little holiday to Santa Barbara, California.. ( you can watch the vlog of the trip here, here, and here =) ).
And i totally fell off the wagon, mainly in the fact i did quite a bit of boozing. ( whoopsies).
Anyways... I am starting a no spend month... Which will help keep me on track with my dieting and working out... Since i wont be spending money on anything else !
Here's to me staying on track this month... Thanks for sticking with me !
