Best Raw Food Diet For Weight Loss

Hi guys,

Tim here with another Phuket raw food diet video.

Today I want to talk to you a little bit about my experiences with easy vegetarian meals. And I'll show my ugly mutt in a minute, my ugly face. I thought I'd just show you some of the views of Phuket. This is on the shoreline of the private beach where I am staying.

You can see Phuket there in the background. There's a little island that goes right around, and there's the water that surrounds that. And there's the jetty. It's all part of the resort that we're staying at. It's absolutely wonderful.

I'll turn the video around there.

Anyway, how are you? Just a quick video today to give you a bit of an update. I wanted to talk to you a little bit today about some of my experiences. I'll just turn here so you can see the background while I'm talking. You can hopefully hear the sea.

Everything is going quite well in my weight loss.

A Vegetarian Meal Plan That Is Delicious!

Hello, Tim here from Phuket with yet another low carb vegetarian video.

How are we today?

We're doing, both Louise and myself are doing fine, having a great time over here. Weather is not too bad. Yesterday ended up being quite hot. Not overcast at all. Sun was out. And man, the sun had a bit of power! Very, very strong.

Today is still looking good. A bit more overcast. It is going to be a bit cooler. But we are still going to go down into the pool. We checked it out before actually, and the water is warm. So looking forward to that.

Maybe you can hear the waves in the background. Quite beautiful and relaxing watching that. Good waking up to it as well, waking up to the sound of the waves.

I have got a few more pictures to include, which I took last night. I will show you shortly in this video. Just talking about the food I had yesterday and so forth. So I will pause this now and we'll have a look at what I ate yesterday. At least some of the meals anyway.

Easy Vegetarian Meals In Phuket

Hello everyone.
It is Tim here from Phuket, Thailand, with another weight loss video update.

How are we all today? We're feeling fantastic. We just had our breakfast. It is about 9:30am in the morning, or thereabouts. Maybe getting closer to ten o'clock. The weather is fine today. Actually the sun is shining, so it is going to be a very nice day.

But, getting back on track, talking about eating. I ate very well yesterday. All healthy vegetarian recipes and vegetarian meals. For those of you who don't know, since finishing my juice fast, 56 days of a juice fast, and I lost about 22 kilos, which is around about 51 pounds, since then, I have decided - because I didn't have any meat or dairy for that period of time, that I would actually go off them. And go the full hog and go to a total vegan diet plan lifestyle. Now, vegan, for those of you who don't know, is a vegetarian lifestyle. So, no meat products. But it is taking the next step - there are no animal products at all. So no eggs, meat obviously, no dairy. And instead of doing that basically it's vegetables and fruits, and also things like nuts which are essential, or, have essential vitamins and minerals. Nuts, legumes, seeds and so on.

And I have got some goodies I want to show you now actually, which I will I do. I actually took a picture of what I ate for breakfast, and lunch and evening meals. I want you to have a look at those now. We'll start off by having a look at the breakfast. Now you can see that even though it was a bit bit bizarre for me, having a lot of vegetables for breakfast. I had some rice there on the plate. There's some corn there. There's also some various vegetables. There's tomato, it's a tomato dish. There's also red curry. Beautiful! Absolutely very nice. And a few other vegetables as well. Broccoli as well I believe.

I'm doing this today. Even though I'm putting these pictures on the screen, I'm actually doing this from memory. So hopefully I am getting it all.

You Can Succeed With A Vegan Diet Plan!

Hi guys!

Tim here from Puket - Phuket I should say, not puke-et, as in spew!

We're having a lovely time here. This is our first day here. We arrived late last night and obviously didn't get a chance to do a video. I just wanted to show you the view behind me. We have got a fantastic suite right on the ocean. Absolutely amazing. Weather is fantastic. Even though it is overcast the temperature is really quite warm. It's almost muggy, but it is beautiful. Absolutely loving it.

We've got a busy day today. We've got lots of plans. Mainly exploring.

We couldn't believe the number of motorbikes on the road. It was quite entertaining when we were [arriving] from the airport. All the motorbikes ducking in and out. Some people were actually holding umbrellas while they were riding motorbikes.

Best Weight Loss Practice And Eating Properly

Hi. Tim here with another transition to food / weight loss / eat healthy video.

Just a quick one today, because this is actually take 2! I did my first video, and when I finished recording it, I went into my video editor, and there was nothing recorded. I don't know what went wrong. But it seems to be working now. I did a couple of little test ones, and it is now working.

OK, not a lot to report today, other than that you will not be getting a video from me tomorrow. That is because I am on holidays tomorrow, and I am actually flying to Phuket. So consequently I will be in the air, and by the time I get into Phuket it is going to be late, and I will have to clear customs and so forth. So I won't get a chance to do a video.

However I will be doing a video every day after that, while I am away, just showing you some of the sights of Phuket, and talking about the food, and talking about food experiences and so forth.

Just a couple of brief bits of information about food.

Life After My Juice Fast Continues

Hi,

Tim here with a 'life after juice fasting' update for you today.

It is Friday over here, Friday 9th September here in Australia. And I just wanted to do a quick update to let you know that things are going well. This is the start of my fourth day after my 56 day juice fast. If you haven't seen my YouTube videos, go and take a look at those. Because I have got a video for every single day on my 56 day juice fast. I updated every day with how much weight I lost, progress, how I felt, what sort of juices I was having, and so on and so forth. So there's lots of information about that.

And in yesterday's video I asked the question whether people would be interested in an e-book, giving a bit of an overview of my journey but also giving things like recipes and shortcuts and tips. Lots of people said yes, so, good news! I am going to actually create that e-book. It is going to take me a little while to compile that information. What I am going to do is get the information out of the videos and put that into a booklet type form, an ebook. And then I'm going to give you the mechanism to download it. It's going to have as much information as possible. I will put all the juices I used, the recipes, how I felt, things to watch out for, how to get out of those difficult tough spots when you're really wanting to eat and so forth. And what I did to basically succeed in my 56 day juice fast.

Back To Solid Foods And Loving It

Hi, Tim here!

How are you going today?

Today is my juice fasting update. Or, should I say, transitioning back to food update! Day 2. This is the start of Day 3, actually, from my, returning from juice fasting, going back to the normal solid foods with some healthy vegetarian recipes. Things are going fantastically well. For those who are asking, yes, I have gained a little bit of weight. The smallest amount of weight actually, since I have gone off juice fasting. Today is the start of the third day, mid morning here in Australia. I have gained 0.1 kilo, yes, 0.1 kilo!

Now that is about 1/5 of one pound. That is all I have gained since moving over, and I suspect that is going to come off pretty quickly, because I am still exercising and eating healthily.

Smoothie Diet Time Now The Juice Fast Is Over?

Hi, Tim here with another 'Eat Healthy' / 'Juice Fast' / whatever you like to call it 'Eat Raw' / 'Get Fit' / 'Get Healthy' type video!

Today I am just going to talk briefly about my transition back to food with some smoothie diet in it. For those of you who don't know, yesterday marked the first day that I was back on to solid food after a juice fast lasting 56 days.

Now if you want to see what happened during those 56 days, do go back and check my videos. I have actually done a complete history. Every day I uploaded a video faithfully about my progress, how much weight I lost, etc. And I am going to be doing a similar thing with my transitioning back to solid foods.


So, what did I do yesterday?

Day 57 - Juice Fasting Results Are In!

Hi, Tim here with the last day of my Juice Fast update.

If you watched yesterday you know that yesterday was my last juice fasting day. So I decided to do a video today just talking about my final weight. So I lost 0.3 kg overnight. So that brings my total weight loss now of, about, 0.3 is about 0.6 pounds, so, just a bit over half a pound.

Total weight loss over Day 1 to Day 56 inclusive, was 23.2 kilograms, which is just over 51 pounds, all up, which is fantastic.

And my current weight is 88.2 kilograms, which is 194 1/2 pounds.

So I have actually made it. I am off my juice fast and fasting plan now. And before I go too much further, here is my smoothie! I am going to drink my smoothie, and I will tell you what is in it shortly. But I am going to enjoy it first.

Day 56 - Juice Fast Journey Nearing Its End

Hello, Tim here with my Day 56 juice fasting update.

This is my final day of juice fasting. After today I am going back to solid food again. By the way, 56 days, in case you're wondering why it wasn't 60 days or 90 days, or 100. 56 days is exactly 8 weeks. Eight sevens are 56. That's the reason chose 56. Just to be a little bit different.

And I am pretty pleased that I am here now! Again, it still hasn't been a struggle I have to say, mostly. It has been quite straight forward, and I am pleased to have made it to my last day. So, feeling pretty pumped about that. I am going to talk about the actual diet, fruit juice diet, veggie juice diet or, not diet, but eating plan I should say. A book I think you need to read - I am going to talk about shortly and show you.

But before I do that I'll just talk about my weight loss. I lost 0.2 kilograms, which is around about half a pound since yesterday. Total weight loss now is 22.9 kilograms, which I think is around about 50.5 pounds now. Current weight is now 88.5 kilograms, and that is around 195 pounds, give or take.

Day 55 - Juice Diets Are Truly Effective!

Good morning, good evening, and goodnight! as Jim Carrey would say.

Tim here with my Juice Fasting progress report update for Day 55.

Only one more day to go after my juice diets today. So tomorrow is going to be my last liquid diet weight loss, juice diet weight loss day and juice fasting. Looking forward to that actually! I am starting to think obviously I have been doing this for quite a number of days now, transitioning. Fruit and green smoothies is probably going to be what I am starting with. That will be on Tuesday, because it is Sunday over here in Australia.

It is actually Father's Day today. So I am going to take it quite easy today. I'm not going to do a lot. I have a couple of adult children, and Louise has got a couple of younger children who are nearly adult (17 and 15). So I hope to catch up with all of those today.

Day 54 - Juide Diet Plan Update!

Hi, Tim here with my Day 54 juice fasting update.

Just two days to go, after today, and I am done with my juice fasting!

I talked about, in earlier videos that I wasn't sure whether I was going to continue the juice diet plan. I have decided to definitely stop it. So my last day - [right now] it is actually Saturday. It's about 11:40 in the morning, on Saturday, in Australia. And the end of Monday will be my last day. So I will do another video on the Tuesday morning. That will be my final sort of daily 'weigh-in' if you will. And then I am going to switch over to a diet of mainly fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and seeds. Because I think that's the way to go.


I'm going to ease slowly into that. I'm going to start off with some green smoothies and a bit of low carb fruits in the first couple of days, and then build it up from there, slowly.

Day 53 - Lemon Juice - Strikingly Refreshing?!

Hi, Tim here with my Day 53 update. My juice fasting update.

I'm here at the Royal Adelaide show with Louise. Louise is taking the video.

Hello Louise!

Louise: Hello!

Tim: I'm here having a great time. So just a quick video just to let you know that overnight I have lost 0.6 of a kilo. Now I don't know what that is in pounds, but I will put that on the screen now (1 and 1/3 pounds).

Total weight loss is 22.2 kilograms, which is this much in pounds (just under 49 pounds).

And my weight now is 89.2 kilograms, which is 195 1/2 pounds.

Just going to be a quick one today, because as I said, we're at the Royal Adelaide Show, which is sort of like a fair or carnival I should call it for you American folks.

Louise: And Louise wants fairy floss!

Tim: Louise wants some fairy floss. I won't be indulging in that obviously. Lots of food here. It's amazing how much junk food I have already seen. And it's only about 10:30 in the morning. It's quite amazing.

But everything is still on track and everything is going well. I have only got 3 days after today till my juice fast finishes.

OK, so short video, as I said. I'll leave it there for now. Thanks for watching, and I will see you tomorrow for Day 54.

Thursday 1 September 2011

Day 52 - Fruit Juice Heaven!

Hi, Tim here with my Day 52 update.

Still going. Now only got 5 days, including today, to go, and I have finished my juice fast and some fruit juice, which is quite amazing.

Since yesterday I have lost 0.7 kilograms, which is about 1.5 pounds. So my total weight loss now is 21.6 kilograms, which is just over 47.5 pounds.

Current weight now is 89.8 kilograms. Woohoo! Got under the 90 kilogram mark. And that is now a fraction undfer 198 pounds.

So, feeling pretty confident and happy and blissful really. It's working out nicely.


Interesting in the last 2 days for various reasons I haven't had 3 juices. I have only had the 2 juices. Yesterday I missed my breakfast juice, but had the lunch and evening one. And the day before I had my breakfast juice, but missed the lunch and had the evening one. It wasn't by planning. But I have noticed since I've done that, that the weight loss has escaled So I'm conscious of the fact that I am not trying to hungry or starve myself or anything. Because that's the wrong way to try and lose weight. But I think I'm on to something here. For a long term fast, maybe here's an opportunity to cut down on the juices per day, if you are truly not hungry, which I certainly am not. And just focus on this good stuff: water. And if I'm not hungry I'm going to cut down.
