My supplements finally came in the mail today. I ordered Raspberry Ketone and Green Coffee Bean from Pure Health 100 and they have been on back order. I ordered them from Pure Health100 for they are pure with no additives. I was really hoping they would come soon for I ran out of Raspberry Ketone last week. I am excited for I will be taking an increased dose of Ketone. I was taking 100mg and the new ones are 400mg. It is suggested to start out with a low dose to get use to them. I had no side effects with the 100mg of Raspberry Ketones and feel that I should increase the dose. The bottle states to take 800mg however I feel that is to much. Plus, I am also considering taking the Green Coffee Beans in combination with the Raspberry Ketone. I have researched them and discovered that you can take them together.
I am going to take the combination for 1 month and then weigh myself to see the results. I will post my weight loss results at the end of the month. I have read many stories of people having great success with both Raspberry Ketone and Green Coffee Bean and now I want to experiment for myself. I should also note that I have been eating a very healthy diet to include no foods with added sugar or processed foods. I also exercise every morning before I eat breakfast for about 10-15 minutes and drink a large glass of water. As I have posted before, you will get increased results from your exercise when you work out in the morning before you eat. The combination of my healthy diet and exercise plan should increase the results of the supplements. Time will tell.
Daily Food Plan:
I don't change up my diet very much and eat the same foods usually everyday. I have cut out all white foods like white rice and potatoes. I do not eat white bread or much bread at all for that matter. When I do eat bread it is 100% whole wheat (sprouted grain is best). I don't eat any added sugar and use honey instead. I also use olive and coconut oil and butter on occasion.
For breakfast I have one egg either scrambled or as an omelet with cheese and guacamole on top. When I cook the egg I add a dash of organic milk and 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. I often have a homemade breakfast muffin with my egg that is made with whole wheat, oatmeal, dates, raisins, and walnuts. This muffin recipe will be posted in the recipe section soon so watch for it. Sometimes I change up breakfast with oatmeal that includes raisins, honey, or some berries and banana with a splash of organic milk. I drink one cup of coffee and fresh juice I make with my juicer. The juice includes 2 small tomatoes, 1 stalk of celery, and one medium carrot. It tastes like v8 juice and is soooo good.
For lunch I eat organic lettuce with either tuna salad or egg salad on top. I add diced onion, celery, and guacamole to my salad along with a little olive oil. If I have leftover chicken from supper the night before I will add that to my salad. I do get tired of lettuce sometimes and just eat tuna with some blue chips, cottage cheese, and sliced tomato. To drink I have water and green tea that I brew myself. As a treat I eat homemade avocado fudge or a square of semi-sweet 60% chocolate bar. I also change up lunch with the addition of Greek yogurt with honey and peanut butter, or blueberries.
For supper usually I eat one of the following with brown rice,(broccoli, cauliflower, corn, kidney beans, black beans). In place of potato I eat cottage cheese or an occasional sweet potato. When I eat pasta which is once a week it is whole grain wheat with organic sauce or diced tomatoes. I regularly eat a lean meat like chicken, hamburger, or pork chops, in addition to shrimp, scallops, and fish. When I make the meats they are seasoned with onion, garlic, and cooked with olive oil. For dessert and between meal snacks I enjoy homemade pumpkin pie, rice pudding, avocado fudge, or muffins, (these recipes are all listed in the recipe section of the blog).
I also eat pizza once a week (two slices). This is really my only food that I crave and enjoy that many may not when on a diet. As I have noted before I am creating a healthy eating plan that I will be able to continue and maintain forever. This is not a diet but a way of eating for life. I believe that in order to do this I do not cut out foods that I like instead I find a healthy alternative or experiment to find a healthy recipe of that food that includes healthy ingredients. Another thing to keep in mind is portion control. As I noted I limit myself to two slices of pizza once a week. This is where portion control is a key for if I ate three or four pieces that would not be wise. Exercising portion control can also help you greatly with loss of weight.
As I experiment and create healthy recipes I will add them to the recipes page.
