Hello everyone. I just found this site yesterday. I am inspired by Joe Cross to go on a 60 day liquid diet and I thought some support may help me stick to it. I loved his documentary; it is very inspiring. I don't plan to do things exactly the way he did it. He was strictly fresh juices. I am going to allow all healthy liquids including teas, powders and broths. Bone broth seems to be the new green juice now days and I love soup. I've been hearing some amazing things about it. I was trying to find the right forum for my adventure. This looked like the best one. It will definitely be a spring challenge. Please let me know if I am in the wrong place. Today is February 19, 2017 which will be my start date.. That means my challenge will be to stick with it through April 19, 2017. Wow, that seems like a long time. I'll keep telling myself that I can do it and I will do it.
Edit: I changed the title of this thread to "60 Day Diet Challenge" from the liquid diet plan. I feel that title would be broad enough to include others who want to join the thread with their own choice of a healthy diet plan that would work best for them. The idea is to offer and receive support to help each other stick to a healthy plan for 60 days or for another amount of time of each persons choosing. People may need to modify their plans as they go along and that's okay. We all have different needs when it comes to diet. I have heard from listening to testimonies that when a person sticks to a healthy plan long enough something changes in their bodies and minds. They no longer want to go back to unhealthy eating. The thought, in fact, is gross to them. I don't know how long I would need to go to get to that mind set. I think it is different with each person. If I make the sixty days, I will reevaluate my situation at that time.
The purpose of this thread is to be motivated to stick to a diet plan determined by the dieter rather than a number on the scale. The goal is reached if we stick to the plan. I feel that if we come up with a good plan and we stick with it, then the weight will drop automatically. We cannot always control what our bodies do when it comes to dropping those extra pounds. Sometimes our bodies reach plateaus. That means we cannot lose weight, even though we have done everything right, until the plateaus break. Focusing on weight instead of sticking to our plans can sometimes be discouraging. Of course, we all have a weight loss goal, but mine will come when I get there no matter how long it takes.
If anyone wants to join me please feel free to start your count down at any date you choose. Also, of course, you may choose your own length of time. It does not have to be sixty days. Of course, you will be choosing your own diet plan as well. It does not have to be liquids.
