I got back to shape by eating only 'grass' for 3 weeks

Breakfast ready to be prepared
Recently, I noticed I'd blown up but I didn't realize how bad it was until my colleague who seemed to have found a new hobby with this big professional camera decided to catch me in action.

When I saw the pictures, I was alarmed and saved it as 'Fat me'. The pictures made me realize how badly I needed to go on a strict diet and do everything possible to get rid of the extra weight. So, I started a strict vegetable salad diet.

Truth is, it wasn't interesting at all at first. My new diet meant eating salad without any dressings or sweets. If felt like I was eating grass. I hated it the first 2 days and was so hungry that I had to eat something else but after about 3 days of trying, it became quite normal for me. I could eat the grass without complaining and VIOLA! I'm actually seeing the results.

My colleague with the love for cameras took another picture of my colleagues and me just standing at the veranda in our office, just before our Monday meeting and I was so proud of myself when I saw it, I wanted to share.

In a nutshell, if you want to lose weight fast, eat only salad without dressing for about 2 weeks. It may feel like eating grass but you'll be sure to see wonders!

  1. You can add some proteins too. Without carbs, you'll still lose weight.

  2. Thanks Eya. I try that out. To be truthful, plain salad is very uninteresting.

    1. Thanks Chioma. The 'fat me' picture is picture number 2. Look at my belly and my arms, they were really fat. My face too looked really fat, if not that I partially backed the camera.

    1. Hi Ugo, My breakfast consisted of salads, lunch was partially-cooked vegetable soup with fish while dinner was just fruits. I snacked on apples in the afternoon when I felt hungry and occasionally, I had cat fish pepper soup.

      I also did some aerobics like 3 times a week and jogged for about 15 minutes, 3 times a week to keep fit.

      Please take it easy on yourself. It takes a while to burn pregnancy fat. Also note that I was a bit on the extreme. I was embarrassed and was desperate to get back in shape.

    1. Thanks Roziette. It's worth trying. When you do, try to go through with it, it's quite challenging.
