Last week, staff from Belmont Health & Wealth (four in total) took part in a “New Year’s Cleanse” eating plan for seven days, to help kick those nasty holiday cravings for salt and sugar. You can read about what it is here. Belmont employees were all encouraged to weigh themselves before the week started. We will be weighing ourselves at the end to report on the total weight loss, then again one week later to report on how we are doing once we “open the floodgates” back up to eating normally. The hope for this week is to not only kick some unhealthy cravings, but jump start some healthy eating habits! I will report my progress, as well as staff (who are participating anonymously).

Day Six

Last Saturday was day six of the New Year’s Cleanse, which was fowl and vegetables day. The directions for day six were as follows: “Don’t be shy, eat to your heart’s content filling up with Chicken, Turkey and Vegetables – no potatoes today!” (We had two who ended the eating plan on Friday, so below is the feedback from the two weekend warriors!)

Me: Day six I can honestly say I didn’t feel like I was doing a “meal plan”. There are just so many things you can eat with chicken and veggies that it was a very easy day for me. I didn’t feel deprived; I just felt I was eating healthy! With my chicken, I had some homemade salsa, which did toe the line a bit when it came to a tsp of canning salt. But the teaspoon was spread out over 20 jars, so it wouldn’t have been very much!

Agent B: I hardly ate anything as I was running around all day. I know I had chicken pad thai so that’s close…. Again, nothing fried!
