I can't say how incredibly delighted I am when I see that my thighs and hip, my problem areas, are the first things to go. They are usually stubborn. In the past I eat low-calorie junk to diet down. I learned what many trainers said that eating clean makes the body drop the fat at the right place. I mean once sugar, refined carb, processed food go out the door, the junk in the the trunk also goes.

You know what inspired me to eat this way? When I was in Thailand I got most of my food from the market where it's all fresh, non-processed, or locally processed. No plastic, package, artificial flavor, additives, preservatives, and other chemical. I found it incredibly easy to lose fat when I was at Thailand. But here in the US with all these processed junk + corn syrup I eat every single day, I can drop some pounds but I'm so addicted to junk that I can't maintain the weight loss. They do research on genes, body mechanism, and others, trying to understand why obesity is an epidemic here. What they don't understand is that when they rip all the nutrients from the food they eat, leaving empty calories, the body will sure react horribly.

Menu: Carrots/Hummus Apple and Grilled chicken. Simple and delicious.

Water: Still 4 bottles but I will try harder!
