伯朗太太的築夢窩♪♬

美國朋友凱若琳告訴我她加入了一個台灣朋友教的nutrition class(營養課), 每週上課一次,

學習如何吃的健康來幫忙減重, 12週後她減了6公斤, 體脂也減了2.5%, 學費是8千（不便宜啊!)

想到自己起伏不定的體重,兩個禮拜前回娘家又被阿母說從未看過我這麼胖過

覺得不能再等到感恩節吃完火雞大餐再開始,因為再來是聖誕節, 接下來還有農曆新年...

然後就要回美國探望公婆一個多月(每次都一定胖幾公斤回台灣)...

其實這兩個月來好幾次都有開始注意飲食及運動減肥

可是常常破功, 每天幫家人準備三餐之際，很難不受美食的誘惑...

再來是更年期到了更不容易減, 阿母很狠的說都是藉口啦！不要怪遺傳胖基因或這或那的

就是要少吃多運動啦！這誰不知道啊？又不是沒減肥和瘦過, 就是很難持之以恆嘛！

不然賣減肥藥的廣告怎會愈來愈多，減肥診所也愈來愈多！

朋友凱若琳最後一次上課帶我去旁聽, 那裡有5、6位和她一起參加的媽媽小姐們

在那第一次聽到低升糖這名詞, 教課的coach說低升糖的食物可以多吃, 高升糖的食物則要少碰...

一般含糖分較高或是消化吸收快的食物，如精製米、麵粉製品，水果中的西瓜、芒果、鳳梨、

香蕉、荔枝、龍眼等血糖指數較高，升糖指數越高的食物，食用後越容易使血糖升高。

而含纖維質較多的食物，如糙米、燕麥或全麥食品，以及蕃茄、葡萄柚、芭樂，

及大部分的蔬菜，血糖指數較低. (採用低GI飲食控制應盡量避開GI值60以上與熱量200以上的食物)

我跟朋友的coach說我想加入這課程, 但是這幾個月有太多生日和美國節日要慶祝,我問她3月有沒有開課

她說她過完年就要出國了, 沒有計畫要開課 

於是我回家後立即上網搜尋, 也許自己可以照著試試看,結果發現很多關於《全新生活》減重計畫的部落格

發現原來這套減重計畫是美國的美安直銷公司推出的, 我一直對直銷公司印象不是很好

大概是因為以前大家都稱直銷公司為老鼠會(是吧?), 印象中就是要向你推銷東西

我研讀之後覺得這套飲食方式是很健康的,  比自己平常吃的減肥餐還健康, 於是決定想嘗試看看

如果跟全新生活的教練上課12週, 課程費是8000元 (包含12週教練指導, 

白腎豆配方1瓶, 藤黃果配方1瓶, 熱鉻配方1瓶, 全新生活日誌 , 全新生活曼妙人生計畫DVD系列1與2)

我不想用幫助減肥的產品來減重, 想參考他們的健康的飲食方法就好,
幫自己減重之外,　也可以讓自己和家人吃的更健康！

這套計畫有12週, 我先只談我閱讀過集中的排毒週重點:

 第一週是排毒週,七天的時間內只能吃蔬菜以及水果,喝的東西只有水或者檸檬水。

蔬菜吃的種類越多、排毒效果越好, 目的是把長時間累積在身體的毒素以及宿便排出。

(天哪!看到這我懷疑自己一個禮拜可能嗎?...但是, 我真的做到了! 而且也戒了咖啡體重減輕2.5公斤, 腰圍縮小約3寸, 不過體脂只降了0.1%, 我猜可能是因為用的體重/體脂機雖是同樣牌子,但不是同一台, 所以有可能有點誤差吧!不過體脂本來就是比較頑固難撿減, 老公看我褲子都變鬆了, 要我不要洩氣!)

 全新生活的7日排毒有助肝臟排毒, 有助維護消化健康, 促進消化系統內益生菌的生長,

為小腸內壁細胞提供能量, 有助身體吸收營養, 促進免疫系統健康, 重新啟動新陳代謝, 

有助維持正常膽固醇含量和血糖含量, 從而維護整體健康

• 排毒飲食計畫的好處可以和緩地清除體內雜質, 減少身體對甜食的依賴, 提高身體對碳水化合物
• 的反應力, 幫助早日達到減輕體重的目標, 若減重處於停滯期,也可加速新陳代謝, 藉此排毒計畫來促進減重效果 

多久進行一次排毒最好?  可根據個人需求決定多長時間做一次排毒, 有人喜歡每年做4次

(即每三個月做一次), 有些人喜歡選在季節變換時做, 全新生活教練建議每年做一~三次

執行的方式:

*早上起床先喝一杯 檸檬水,做法是擠半顆檸檬汁調250CC 溫水 。
*每天要吃六餐, 三餐正餐吃7至8種蔬菜, 種類越多越好,生菜比煮熟的好, 熟的比煮爛的好。

* 正餐之間的點心可吃一份水果(一個拳頭大)

      P.S.後來才發現早上還不能吃水果呢! "全新生活"規定要在下午2點和8點之間吃才行,

            可是有些人卻又是早上吃! 還有些人說紅蘿蔔、豆薯、地瓜在排毒週不能吃,

            但有些人又說可以, 實在是讓我很confused!

 *注意不可使用任何糖、 麵粉或奶油! (除了己經天然存在於水果和蔬菜中的糖份)

 *每天要喝2000cc以上的水。

*睡眠要充足, 不可少於6小時。 因這會有助幫助我們排毒過程 (睡眠)

*可繼續食用平日在吃的營養補充品如多種維他命、礦物質....

執行此計畫重點:絕對不能餓到肚子。

原因: 人一旦餓了肚子,身體就會發出訊息給大腦,大腦接收到反映後,因為不知道下一餐何時會吃到,

就產生了保護機制,自動把身體轉為儲存脂肪模式,並降低新陳代謝的速度, 以維持生命。

所以這個計劃就是要隨時讓肚子裡有東西, 就算肚子不餓也要吃東西。 身體就不會為了要保護自己降低新陳代謝,

而是一直處在燃燒脂肪模式, 進而達到減肥的效果。

這是我在網路上搜尋資料找到的寶 - 謝哲宇教練的facebook上的圖 (金艾困製作),有經過他的同意貼在這喔!

寫的很清楚, 讓我獲益良多!

我研讀很多好心的部落客分享的心得後, 大概知道該怎麼做, 老公也讀了網路上有關全新生活

的英文解說, 這套計畫其實是由美國人近幾年想出的, 總公司也在美國

決定後我們就照著左邊藍色低升糖指數的蔬菜和水果表,去買了一堆菜和一些水果

有青江菜、地瓜葉、苜蓿芽、菠菜、洋蔥、木耳、大蒜、茄子、筊白筍、豆薯、香菇、秋葵、四季豆、

黃豆芽、檸檬、蘋果、皺葉白菜和奶油白菜...(真的拼了!從未一次買過這麼多菜)

晚上洗洗切切, 隔天早上就可以開始我的排毒計畫了！ 倒數計時開始...

以下開始就是我中英文混雜及眼淚和汗水交織的記錄:

Day1:  51.4kg/112.5磅

6:30am 1杯 lemon juice (half lemon)

一不做二不休, 把所有檸檬一次擠好倒入置冰器裡, 明後天就不用擠了! 

*Remember to drink at least 2500cc water every day, very important!

Day1 breakfast: 7:30 breakfast: mixed vegetables

平時愛吃青菜的老公說要支持我和我一起吃排毒餐, 讓我有個partner,

我說不用了, 但他還是堅持要陪我, 我說好吧! 就讓他跟吧!

只是還要多準備他那一份實在會讓我更忙...

不過第一天早上我還在忙著準備孩子的早餐時,老公說他可以煮他的青菜

結果他稍微燙了他的青菜以後就吃了, 他說就當生菜沙拉吃, 可沒有沙拉醬可以加喔!

老公吃了一口後就"面有菜色", 看起來很難下嚥的樣子! 我跟他說煮熟會比較好吃,不要煮爛就好.

Nick only put his vegetables in the bioling water for a short time. I boiled mine longer.

That's why his vegetables looked quite raw and tasted like....grass, I believe.

It reminded me of one of the Dr. Seuss' famous children's book, 

"Mr. Brown can moo, can you?"

I told him that he should've cooked the vegetables longer.

Nick's breakfast that I called "grass".  讓我想到有名的美國童書作家蘇斯博士的書, ＂Ｍr. Brown can moo, can you?" 美國牛是＂moo moo叫＂, 剛跟台灣牛＂哞哞叫＂差不多吧！

My Day1 breakfast 我的早餐

開始不喝咖啡, I quit drinking coffee.

On the 1st and 2nd day afternoon I started having mild headaches.  

On the third day my headaches started in the late morning.  On Thursday I was free,

no more addiction to coffein.  Yeah...    

10am: fruit (guava, orange, apple) 自己一個握拳大小的份量

12:00 lunch: mixed vegetables

Nick's lunch.  I made some sauce (mustard with 柳丁汁) because he didn't enjoy his flavorless breakfast.

怕先生又嚥不下去, 我調了柳丁汁加芥末醬給他調味, 他還蠻喜歡的!

My Day1 lunch

Afternoon fruit (吃完柳丁才想到糟糕還沒照相), picture taken after I already ate some organge

*During this week, I have one portion of fruits twice a day (not going to take pictures of them).

Dinner: Mixed vegetables (ready to cook)

My Day1 dinner (沒拍老公的因為他已經凍未條要求加肉了, 我就叫他不要跟嘛!)

 After dinner, I was getting vegetables ready for tomorrow morning. Busy, busy...

Excercise: We took a 40 minute fast walk.

Had a headache from no coffee all day, had a tiny sip of if before bed because afraid not sleeping well at night.

Went to bed at 10pm because of tiredness.

Day 2: 51KG/111.5LBS, 10/29/2013 Tuesday 

早上起來頭不痛了, 昨晚睡的很好! This morning Nick wasn't hungry, so he ate less veggies.

I had lemon juice.

Put a lot of spices on our veggies.  I put Pepper Salt, he put cumin and Montreal Steak spice.

 Nick's Day2 breakfast(老公多加了很多香料)

When I was chewing vegetables, I was trying to iamgine myself as ancient people (原始人) eating the food and how lucky I was to eat the food without growing or hunting. It's not cheese sticks on my plate.  Those two sticks are Jicama which I found out later that I was not supposed to eat during this week.

必須想像自己想像自己像原始人沒有別的東西可吃，只有這盤得來不易的菜, 也不用去打獵, 這樣想就吞的下去了! 昨天晚餐時比較痛苦一點因為孩子們吃的是美味的正常餐，老公倒是有吃到牛肉，我在煮蕃茄牛肉湯時，特地在放馬玲薯和紅蘿蔔之前舀了一碗留著要給他，心裡覺得自己實在有夠賢惠, 要煮孩子的正長常的美味營養餐, 我的排毒餐和老公的半排毒餐(加肉才有力氣上班).

 My Day2 breakfast

Lunch: Nick didn't bring fruit with him this morning and was starving at lunch.  After lunch he said he was very tired and took a nap.  I suggested that he could do a three day detox or 5 day.  He was very happy to say yes.  He only did that to support me.

Nick's lunch:

I had lunch at about 1pm.  It was a lot of work to make kids lunch and also made ours.  I think my headache from lack of caffein is slowing coming back.

 My Day2 lunch

My Day2 dinner:

 We went to weight room to use the elliptical (滑步機/滑雪機) for 30 minutes.

Day 3:   50.2KG/110.5LBS

Nick's breakfast

My Day3 breakfast: I didn't take a picture of mine because it's about the same as yesterday.

Nick's lunch with shrimp

I told Nick: I used to eat like a bird, but I couldn't seem to lose weight, now I eat like a cow...moo moo moo...

and I am losing weight...  Isn't that funny? He laughed.

My Day3 lunch 

Chopped and ready to cook for dinner

Nick's dinner

My Day3 dinner

 Excercise: We took a walk for 40 minutes around the park.

Day 4: 49.2KG/110LBS

Had lemon juice and prepared food for breakfast and lunch.

My Day4 breakfast （不知道茄子要怎麼煮,才可以保持外皮漂亮的紫色,而且裡面是軟的？）

My Day4 lunch: leftover from breakfast  Nick had lunch at Melody's and had meat and bread.

He's not really liking this diet because he didn't go to the bathroom that often.

I had no problem, I could go two or three times a day.

 This is what I prepared for our son's lunch. 幫兒子準備的午餐, 我一點都沒有受到誘惑呢!

幫先生準備的午餐, 他還是想跟我一起吃排毒餐但要加蛋白質(肉), 這哪叫排毒餐啊! 這叫增加我的麻煩餐嘛!

不過沒關係, 我可以繼續接受這個challenge! 繼續放馬過來吧!老娘可以應付的...

Nick's lunch

My Day4 dinner

Nick and I went vegetable shopping and didn't take a walk.  So no exercise today.

Day5: 49.4KG/109.5

I've been wondering how this detox diet can be good for the body when we are not taking in protein.  I am afraid that my skin is going to get bad and my muscles will reduce.  Nick told me it's supposed to cleanse my liver and kidneys.  Hmmm...not very convincing. 

My Day5 breakfast  今早特別覺得菜無味很難吃, 一邊想像著自己是非洲難民只有樹葉、樹根

和泥巴可吃, 就真的慢慢的吃完了!

My Day5 lunch (換個口味做沙拉來吃, 沒加醬所以還是像在吃草, 我會像牛叫了!美國牛是"木木"叫喔Moo-! Moo!)

(懶到不想打中文...) 

Today is Friday.  After school we took kids to watch the movie "Thor" at Tiger City.  Nick and I ordered McDonald's salad.

Kids had chicken nuggets and fries.  After we came home, I had more vegetables.

My Day5 dinner

Movie Thor

Bought some more vegetables and seaweed wrap with Nick in the evening.  Going to try some vegetables I saw in some people's blogs.  Same Transitions, but there are some variations from different people.  Like the fruit, some eat fruit between meals and once at night.  Some say 2pm to 8pm.  

Banana,papaya,carrot,babycorn,corn?

Day6: 49kg/108LBS

Got up late because it's Saturday!  Finally I could sleep in.  On the weekdays I always get up at 6:30am to make breakfast for kids.  This morning I got up at 9am and felt a bit hungry.  In the middle of the night I woke up and my throat was a little bit sore. I was fine this morning.

Drank my lemon juice.  Was going to use the salad I made yesterday to put in the seaweed wrap I bought last night. Opened the refrigerator, it was gone!  Nick ate it for breakfast. What?  I thought he's off the detox diet!  Why "wasting" my grassy food? 

My Day6 breakfast

I used the seaweed wrap like some people did, and it tasted so much better.

 After lunch,  we went  to watch our son playing soccer.

My Day6 lunch: No time to prepare because we still had to go to soccer games.

My Day 6 dinner: (Some people eat yam during the detox week, so I am going to give it a try

because I'm pretty tired of the vegetables I've been eating.) Yam is actually very good for detoxing.

Day7: 48.4KG/107.5LBS

I also slept in because it's Sunday. I prepare kids' breakfast and then quickly made very simple breakfast for myself.  We were going to church soon.

My Day7 breakfast

My Day7 lunch:

This what I prepared for our son.   I have learned not to be tempted at all this week.

兒子的午餐:

In the afternoon I went to a friend's house to use her scale to find out my weight, body fat, and all that.  She has the same type of the scale as the one I used a week ago.  So the readings might be a little bit different.

Here are the numbers:

weight reduced: -2.5kg , body fat reduced: -0.1%,  waist reduced: -5.5cm (2 inches), chest reduced: -1cm,

belly reduced:4.5cm, arms reduced: 1cm, thighs -2cm,

一個禮拜的成果:

體重減2.5公斤, 體脂減0.1%公斤, 腰圍縮小5.5公分 (2吋), 胸圍減1公分, 肚圍減ˋ4.5公分, 手臂減1公分, 大腿減2公分

Although I felt a bit discouraged that I only lost 0.1% body fat, N encouraged me.  He said I did a great job of following the plan and I shouldn't focus on the numbers.

It has been our ritual to go to night market for dinner on Sundays for many many years. For the last meal of detox week,  I ordered 關東煮.  N had tofu with the sauce on the side, and I had cabbage, broccoli, and bamboo.  I was very happy to eat bamboo which I couldn't buy at the evening market.  The vendor told me it's not producing good ones right now.

My Day7 dinner

After we came back, I was still a bit hungry so ate a few slices of big cucumber.

上星期一早上在家裡量體重是51.4kg/112.5磅

排毒一週後(加一天)是48.6kg/107磅, 減了2.8公斤(5.5磅)! 

星期一開始可以加蛋白質了! 

這一週和接下來的一週,我有疑問時會問一位部落客友＂Miao＂她都很有耐心的解說給我聽, 也不斷鼓勵我!
