When I posted my new haircut photo with Aly in Facebook, I received a few comments from friends and family congratulating me on my weight loss. I'm flattered and thankful. I did lose 2 kilos (around 4lbs) but I think I'm slowly gaining it all back no thanks to our five-day trip back home and PMS. Grrr... Must. Diet. After. My. Period.

Anyhoo, I'm going to share with you how I did it: South Beach Diet (SBD) phase 1 for two weeks. I should be on phase 2 now, but with the trip back home and PMS, sira ang diet ko. Plus, they say you're supposed to lose 8-13lbs in the first two weeks but I kinda had some cheat days so I only lost 4. Oh well, better than nothing, right?

I cheated with a Starbucks caramel frap on my first week. But if you noticed, I asked them to hold the whipped cream (my favorite part) so I won't feel too guilty. Haha!

I have to thank my lunch buddy Jo-ann for introducing me to this. She went on the diet too and she dropped down to 4 dress sizes. Wow! So I bought the book, read it and planned our meal according to the diet's principles. Richard went on the diet too and I think he lost more weight because he's more disciplined than me. Heehee! In a nutshell, SBD is no carbs, no sugar for the first two weeks. No rice, no bread, no pasta, no potatoes...just lots of salads, soup and grilled meat.

A sample of what we ate on our first week: baked chicken breast with pesto and mozzarella cheese.

I'm not going to lie to you: it wasn't exactly a walk in the park but the good thing is, I was able to lessen my cravings which is exactly the end goal of SBD. I can also make do with less sugar in my morning coffee which is a great start! Plus, knowing that I made it through those two weeks makes me confident that I can do it again. I think that's the best part, right?

One week of SBD phase 1.
I have a looong way to go but at least I know there's hope for me. Hehe!
