Fat Burning Diet Update For Day 20

Hi, Tim here with my Day 20 update.

My fat burning diet is still going well.

I actually went to a Boost juice bar. I'm not sure whether you have got those over in the US, but in Australia they are pretty big. I think you may have something similar. It is basically a chain juice bar. They make very healthy juice shakes.

Now, they made one for me today and I actually carefully asked what the ingredients were. They actually had one called Two and Five, which was Apple, Oranges, Beetroot, Carrot, and Celery and also some ice. Now, I quite liked that. I had that and that was my lunch juice.

Now, interesting enough it was a juice bar but they had the option for a smoothie. But of course a smoothie isn't a juice fast so I didn't take that. I really am getting used to the juice fasting benefits and don't want to try anything that could possibly be outside the scope of that. They also had something, I wrote it down, a Vita Booster. I asked them not to put that in. So if you are thinking of going to Boost or a juice bar, something of that nature, be sure to tell them not to add the extra, or at least find out what is in it.

Juice Fasting Plan Update - Day 19

Hi,

Tim here, with my juice fasting plan update for Day 19.

Everything is still going on track, going well. I have lost .4 kg since last time, since yesterday, which is just under one pound. So that brings me to a total of 9.9 kg, or just under 22 pounds total amount that I have lost since I started the juice fast.

So I am still actually working away, and I am still on the juice fast. I am actually having a more vegetables. I talked about that more yesterday, the fact that I think to accelerate the weight loss I think you need to have an increase in vegetables. And I am certainly trying to do that. In each meal I am trying to have a lot more vegetable. When I say each meal, I mean each drink.

Basically spinach and celery are the two major ones that I am having. And I am also having good fruits that are really good for you, grapefruit, lime, and lemon. They are really, really quite good for your body because they aren't acidic. They are the opposite to what your body is, because your body is obviously very acidic. So by giving yourself these types of fruits, they are really good to counter that, to really make you feel great and fantastic. And it's actually red grapefruit that I have researched, that is actually better.

Detox Diet Plan Update For Day 18

Hello, Tim here with my detox diet plan update!

This is Day 18, and I am still on track, doing quite well. I lost .5 of a kilogram since yesterday, which is about 1.1 pound. So, overall my weight loss is 9.5 kilograms, which is 21 pounds. And that is in 17 days, because today is the start of the 18th day as I am filming this.

I have to say vegetable drinks: I am starting to get into those a lot more now. I am finding that I think I need to do that. I think what has happened is that I have had a bit of a slow down in my weight loss in the last probably two or three days. I think that is caused by having too much fruit and not enough vegetables. So if you are on this juice fast, juice diet, I think you need to have more of a component of vegetables.

So, yes, I have taken the plunge everybody, you will be pleased to know, and I am using celery! I actually used celery this morning in my drink. I am using a lot more spinach. I am using broccoli as well. But this morning I just had spinach and celery with my fruit drink. And I am cutting down on fruits like watermelon and I am actually going more to grapefruit, which I know is really good for you. Also lemon, I am using more lemon, and I am also using lime. So all of those alkalis - the body - and they are actually quite good forou. So I am using more of those.

Day 17 - Juice Fast Progress And Your Questions Answered

Hello, it's Tim here with my Day 17 update.

I am still on my juice fast and I have lost point one of the kilogram, which is only 1/5 of one pound. That brings my total weight loss so far to 9 kg which is just a fraction under 20 pounds.

So, still going quite good, and all on track.

What I wanted to do in today's video is just talk about, a little bit about juice fasting in general, because it seems from the comments that I am reading in my previous videos, there is a bit of misunderstanding on what juice fasting is.

I will start off by saying that juice fasting is actually something that has been done by people, you know, various religions and so forth, for thousands of years.

Juice Fast Plan Update For Day 16

Hello Tim here with my day 16 update.

Yes, I am still on my juice fast plan. Juicing vegetables and having a good time on this juice diet. Whoops, it's not a juice diet, it's actually a juice plan. I don't like using the word diet because I've got negative perceptions – to me, dieting is a negative thing. I guess because I have been on multiple diets, many diets over the years and failed. I don't want this to be at diet. So I am calling this my juice fast plan. And so far it is working quite well.

Overnight, or since the last time I weighed yesterday, I have lost .5 of a kilo, which is about 1.1 pounds. And overall now that is 8.9 kg, which is just under 20 pounds, about 19.6 pounds that I have lost since starting this.

Day 15 Juicing Celery And Loving It?

Hi, Tim here with my quick day 15 update.

It is only going to be a quick one today because I have got a busy day planned doing lots of things.

Just to let you know that I have lost a huge amount of weight! You are not going to believe just how much weight I have lost. Are you ready for it?

Point one of a kilogram, which is about 1/5 of the pound!

That's right, I am just nudging over the scale but I thought I wasn't going to make it. I thought this was going to be the first day that there was going to be no weight loss. And I am obviously hoping that that is not going to happen in the 56 days. But I did manage to lose point one of a kilo. And I think it was only picked up because the Wii Fit Plus has obviously got a fairly accurate scale. If I had put it on normal scales it probably would not have registered a change.

Day 14 - Fat Burning Diet Is Still Working!

Hi,

Tim, here again with Day 14, my Day 14 update.

I am still going on with this juice fasting plan. I am still managing to keep on track.

And I had a bit of temptation yesterday: drumroll, look away, look away now! Look at this picture if you dare.

This is what was in front of my eyes last night, this picture. And I was able to resist that. I had a feeling that there was going to be lots of nice – well, I say nice but it's actually not nice because it is very unhealthy for you, not healthy at all. This type of food was there and I was quite happy to take my drink and successfully managed to avoid any food whatsoever. And I wasn't really tempted, I have to say, even though that food would have in the past been something that I wanted a lot of. I was quite happy to go without.

So there you go. Goes to show you the power of this fat burning diet, being able to really resist. It's a fasting plan, a juice fasting plan is what I am saying. It is really working well and I am just not getting those urges for that type of food any more, which is fantastic.

Day 13 - Healthiest Drinks Known To Man Are....

Hello everyone.

Here it is! Day 13. Tim again with my daily update. Yes, I have been doing this now for 13 days. 13 updates. So I have actually been 12 days on this juice fast and I am still doing well.

Overnight I lost .7 of a kilogram, which is 1.5 pounds. And that brings me to a total of 8 kg (17.6 pounds) total weight that I have lost since starting this.

What is really exciting for me is that in just those 12 days I am now 25% exactly towards my goal I set myself: a goal of 32 kg to lose in 56 days. And here we are on day 12, at the start of day 13, and I have already lost 8 kg. So I am basically already 25% of the way there. So needless to say I am very excited and happy the way things are progressing.

Day 12 - Vegetables For Weight Loss FTW !

Hello everyone!

Tim here, with my Day 12 update. Yes, I have been going for the last 11 days on a juice only diet using vegetables for weight loss, as well as fruit juice as well. This is all fresh obviously. And I am still on track.

I have lost .3 kg overnight, which is about a bit over half a pound (.66 of the pound), bringing my total weight loss over the last 11 full days – again, this is the start of Day 12 – to 7.3 kg, which is about 16 pounds, just slightly over 16 pounds. So, doing quite well.

Not a lot to report today. Still feeling good, and as good as I felt yesterday. I am actually – my mind is somewhere else today because I have to go off and help someone move.

It is interesting because this person who is a friend of ours has just ended the relationship and she needs some help moving out of an existing house to a new one. And it just got me thinking of something ending and something starting.

Detox Diet Plan Is Still Working - Day 11

Hello everyone!

Here it is on Day 11, and this is my daily update. I have made it to a full 10 days! I have done 10 days of a juice fast and I am doing very well. I am hanging in there. I lost .7 kg overnight, which is about 1.5 pounds, bringing me to a total of 7 kg, which is about 15 1/2 pounds total weight loss since I started.

So everything is pretty well on track. I still have got moments where I am thinking I would like to exit, but what I am noticing is that they are few and far between. Last night, for example, as the family was sitting down for some scrambled eggs I had a brief thought, because I decided, well, I was there while they were having it basically, and there was a fleeting thought that that would be nice. But then feeling that quickly went away. I had a lot less juice yesterday and I noticed I wasn't hungry. And it's almost like I am a bit more in control of my hunger and it is more manageable.

Day 10 - Vegetable Drink Is Becoming Easier To Bear

Hello,

Tim here with my Day 10 update.

Yes, I have been doing this for nine complete days! This is my 10th day. And I am still on track. I am still on the juice fast and I am getting through each day.

Overnight, well the last time I weighed myself, I should say (I weigh myself early in the morning) I have lost 0.3 of a kilogram since yesterday, which is about .661 pounds.

So overall, after the full nine days since I have been on this, I have lost 6.3 kg, which is about 14 pounds. So I have to say I'm pretty happy with that over all.

You can probably see in the background I have got my Mac computer. It's upgrading to Lion, which is the new operating system, for any of you geeks out there. It's the new version of the operating system for the Mac, which has come out today so I'm busily downloading that. I have got three Macs and I have already upgraded and installed it on two, and I'm doing it on the third one. Now I don't know why I added that but, anyway, I have!

Day 9 - Lemon Juice Benefits Enough To Replace Water?

Hello,

Tim here with the Day 9 update.

Yes, for now 8 solid days I have been on this juice fast, and still doing quite well.

Overall, well I will start off by giving my overall weight since last time – 0.4 kg I have lost which is just under one pound, since my last video yesterday. So overall I have lost 6 kg which is about 13.2 pounds.

So obviously very happy with the progress. So my detox diet program is working! Even though I don't like using the word diet, the feeling that a lot of the toxins and so forth are starting to come out of my body.

There is a bit of a – it's more of a vegetable type smell that is around me. According to my partner Louise. So I am assuming that's from a toxic type bad stuff sitting at my body which is good. I would rather it be out than in, put it that way! So I guess what I am saying is things are going still going quite well.

Day 8 - Liquid Diet Recipes Beware!

Hi all,

Tim here with my Day Eight update. Yes I have finished now a complete seven days of this juice fast!

The last seven full days I have been hard at work making lifestyle changes, dramatic lifestyle changes and living exclusively on juice, and doing quite well I have to say.

Overnight I lost .6 of the kilogram which is 1.3 pounds bringing my total weight loss for the last seven full days to 5.6 kg which is about 12.3 pounds.

So quite a good effort - I think. I'm very pleased with the results of that first week.

Day 7 - Vegetable Drink Cravings? Well Maybe Not...

Hello!

Tim here with Day Seven.

Yes, I've nearly made it! By the end of this day it will have been a week since I started this juice fast. And I'm still living, breathing and surviving.

So how have I gone?

Well, overnight I lost 0.3kg, which is about 0.66 pounds. So just over half a pound.

Overall, after six full days of this, I've lost 5 kg, which is 11 pounds. So, as I said, Day Seven will be a full week tomorrow. Because I actually started obviously in the morning.

So I'm pretty pumped up about this still. I'm pretty excited, the fact that it is still working, that I'm still losing weight. I have lost weight every single day. This is my smallest ever weight loss only .3 of a kilogram but still I will take the weight loss anyway I can get it. Quite frankly the fact that it's going down every day is very, very nice.

Day 6 - Weight Loss Is Getting Serious

Hello everyone, it's Tim again.

And here we are with Day Six of my ongoing juice fast, where I am actually attempting to lose 32 kg - well, basically as quickly as possible but certainly within 56 days. That's right – 56 days!

So, Day Six as I said. I have lost today .7 kg, which is about 1.5 pounds. So I'm pretty happy with that. So my weight is now down to 106.7 kg which is 235 pounds. So overall, after five full days of this (because this is the start of Day Six), I have lost a total of 4.7 kg or 10.3 pounds! So that is just from drinking juice, drinking healthy fruit juice and vegetables. So I am pretty happy with that.

The other thing I want to say today is that I feel very happy. I woke up very happy with feelings of gratitude and happiness and so forth, and feeling very pleased with the world. So interesting enough, I have done nothing else to help stimulate that. This is just coming as a natural result, I think, of going through this process and losing this weight. And I'm just feeling happier and confident and I am feeling quite good. So if that's a side-effect of doing this, it is one that I'm pretty pleased with.

Day 5- Juice Fast Plan Update

Hi, Tim here.

It is Day Five of my 56 day challenge to lose 32 kg, which is seven pounds over that period of time, over 56 days.

So my status at Day Five is 0.6 kg of weight loss, which is 1.3 pounds. So overall since I have started this juice fast I have actually lost a total of 4 kg, which is just under nine pounds.

So I am very, very happy with the progress so far and I have to say that I am feeling very energised. I've got lots of energy. A lot more energy than I have had in the past. Definitely no signs of headaches or anything of that nature. I am not missing coffee, which I talked about in an earlier video - that is something that I usually drink a lot. I am not missing all the bad stuff. I'm not going to say it is good stuff because quite frankly chocolate and so forth isn't good for you. And I am starting to really enjoy the juices which is quite amazing. There are certainly moments still where I am wanting to go back to the old habits, back to the old types of foods and so forth. But overall I'm feeling quite comfortable and not feeling hungry all the time. So I am enjoying it.

Day 4 - Carrot Juice Benefits Blow Me Away

Hi there, Tim again.

Day Four of my health fast, my juice fast.

Just for those people who are playing along at home and haven't had a look at the previous day's videos I've given myself a challenge to drink nothing but juice for the next 56 days, and to lose over that period 32 kg, which of course is 70 pounds.

So the good news today – I have lost another 0.9 of a kilogram - that's just under two pounds. It's the same weight loss as yesterday but, drumroll please!

My total weight loss so far, just beginning day, so for three full days of being on this diet: I have now lost a grand total of 3.4 kg which is about 7.5 pounds!

Day 3 - Liquid Diet Weight Loss Continues!

Hi this is Tim again on Day 3 of my challenge, my 56 day challenge to lose 32 kilograms in that 56 days, which is 70 pounds.

This is Day 3, as I said, and am I on track? Yes, I am!

I weighed myself this morning. I have lost .9 of a kilogram, which is a fraction under 2 pounds. As you can see on the screen there, I have lost a total of 5.5 pounds. Basically in 2 days, because this is only the 3rd day starting now. And that is 2.5 kilograms.

Day 2 - Juice Fasting Benefits Are Starting To Show

Hello, Tim here.

Day 2 of my Juice Fasting Plan. My goal, if you recall, if you watched yesterday's video, is to lose 32 kilos, which is 70 pounds, in 56 days.

56 days, basically 8 weeks.

So this is Day 2. So I started my juice diet yesterday, where my diet is comprised of drinking juice only. Now we're not talking about the juice you buy from a supermarket or grocer. We're talking about fresh juice. So I bought a blender, and I am actually blending fruit and vegetables. Good healthy fruit and vegetables. And I'm drinking it immediately for a maximum nutritional value.

So, I guess the first thing is, given that it is Day 2, and I weighed myself yesterday, how have I gone? Have I gained weight, or I have I lost weight?

Juice Fasting Plan Starts - Day 1

Hi guys,

Tim Buchalka is my name, and this is Day 1 of my 56 day challenge.

I have decided that enough is enough. I have been overweight pretty well all my adult life.and look, there has always been an excuse. There has always been a reason. It is too hard, I am addicted to sugar. I just like sweet foods too much. And the years have rolled on and I am now 47 and I realise I have been overweight for 30 years.

As a young kid, as a young bloke when I was in my teens, early teens 13, 14,15, I didn't really have much of a weight problem. But as I moved into adulthood, yes, the weight started stacking on. And why? Well, no real surprises. Today's food, processed food. I love ice cream, chocolate, chips, all those types of things. All those man-made type foods. And I have piled on the kilos. I say kilos, but for you US folks, I have piled on the pounds.

I am currently 111 1/2 kg which is about 246 pounds, if I can do my calculations correctly. Enough is enough. I have had a gutful, which is an Australian saying meaning I have had enough. I am not going to put up with this any more. I have decided to take a 56 day challenge which is basically eight weeks, you know 8x7 is 56, again if my maths is correct.

And for eight weeks I'm going to survive on nothing but juice. Now, when I say juice, we are not talking about the supermarket variety, you know the grocer type variety. We are talking about using a juicer, using a machine, and getting fresh fruit and vegetables, putting that all into a machine, and drinking that each day.
