Apple Cider Vinegar Diet - Review Week 1
Well it has been a week on the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet. Results are mixed, I have not lost any weight yet and I still am hungry but I am seeing some positive results.
I am using an organic, raw and unfiltered brand of AVC. I
used the Bragg brand of Apple Cider Vinegar and found it at my GNC
store. I have been taking a tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar for my diet twice a day, in the morning and night. I mix the organic Apple Cider Vinegar with a tablespoon of raw honey in an 12 oz. glass of cold water. Now they say warm water is better, but it just tastes horrible that way. I also tried to do an ACV shot but that burned all the way down and I won't be doing that anytime soon.
What I have noticed is that I feel better. I don't have as many aches and pains as I normally do. That feeling is worth it to me to continue on this diet and see if there are any more exciting results.
I will try for a while longer and report back here.
Update:
I did not lose any weight with this diet. If I had taken a dose of Apple Cider Vinegar before every meal, I imagine that I would have lost from the extra water intake. I will say that I do believe the the ACV does have some value, such as, using it for an acne treatment or to balance out your digestion.

Skinny People Don't Eat Much!
I have come to the conclusion that skinny people just don't eat that much. I am not sure if it is because they are not that hungry or that they don't want to get fat. Either way they eat less than most overweight Americans. They don't eat much and stay lean, meanwhile the rest of us are actually overfeeding ourselves.
Some proof that skinny people don't eat much comes from this book - Is She Naturally Thin or Disciplined? Insider Secrets of the Sexy and Slim by Sally Shields.
Most of the women in the book have always been thin and they don't eat very much. I also read an article about Kelly Ripa who is skinny and it sounds like she doesn't eat very much either. She said something about eating dessert that just sounds crazy to me. Kelly Ripa said that if she has dessert in the house she will eat it but then she might not have dessert for another three months. More proof right there that skinny people don't eat much. But it also made me think and helped me get back on my diet track.
I have started a new calorie restrictive diet and actually get hungry and hear my stomach rumble. It has been a very long time since that has been happening to me, which means I have been eating way too much. It really sucks because I like to eat and society is built around food gatherings. Because I want to be skinny I am willing to go on another diet and try to lose weight.

Dukan Diet Reviewed
I started the Dukan Diet because the princess Kate Middleton lost weight for the big wedding on it. We Americans all know that the French seem to have something in the dieting area. The Dukan Diet is the number one diet in France and is now making a name in the US. The Dukan Diet 2 Steps to Lose the Weight, 2 Steps to Keep it off forever Book was Created by Dr. Pierre Dukan.
I tried the Dukan Diet and wanted to follow the attack phase for the total of 10 days. I could only stay on the Dukan diet for 3 days. I found it to be too restrictive and very similar to the Adkins diet. The difference between Dukan and Adkins was that you have to eat lean proteins on the Dukan Diet. You aren't even allowed to eat the yummy fatty bacon.
It was a novel idea and sounds good in the book and in theory. But the Dukan Diet did not work in my real life. I work around food and the food I work with and can eat for free was not on the attack phase of the diet. I also have a super sweet tooth and this had no allowances for that, not even fruit, which made this part of the diet ultra hard for me.

My New Exercise Routine
Exercise is important to weight loss.
Others will disagree but I know for a fact that it can make a difference. I have lost weight with exercise and lost that same weight without exercise. I still lost the weight without exercising but I did not have the same energy after the time I didn't use exercise with my diet. Not only did I not have much energy, my body looks fatter and my stomach is flabbier.
So now I need to find an exercise that I can do that I will keep up. Right now I am being lazy and don't want to get on the treadmill, bike or do any exercise videos. So I came up with this "brilliant" plan to run up and down the stairs. Well I was going to add once more up and down the steps every day until I reach 100 because that seemed like a good number. Today I wanted to quit and I am only up to 5 times. I did it but when I was finished and felt like I was going to die and never wanted to go up the stairs again, I had a light bulb moment. Who said I have to run up the stairs, sure it would be much better for me, but if I give up after 5 days then it does me no good. So now I am just going to climb the stairs adding once more each day, only not running, it will be walking or at a jogging pace.
Well I don't know if it will work or not, but I know I have to do something. So I will see how long this lasts. Because I need to feel better about my self and look more toned and in shape.
