Well folks, day 3 is wrapping up and from what I have gathered from your comments and feedback, people are STILL not experiencing difficulties with hunger and cravings. The satiety and fullness of drinking the protein shakes is keeping people's spirits high! And if you find that you are having a hard time fighting off the thoughts of eating unauthorized food, it would not be a bad idea to look at a fatburner. (I use Slimmetry from Nutrilite).

The shake day is genius, when you understand the strategy behind it. Being placed right after the fast day, it's function is twofold: obviously to get your day's nutrition, but also to help you stay on track because you know that you will only be having shakes all day. If you fasted, then the next day were able to eat regular food, there is a possiblity of some psychological fallout from feeling somewhat "restricted" from food the day prior. It's also low calorie, to keep your body using fat for fuel. Personally I notice that on the fast day and shake day, I feel better and my head is clear. This makes biofeedback during my workouts spot on.

So tomorrow we introduce whole food back into our diet. It's MODERATE CARB DAY. This is designed to give your body a break from low calories, while still burning fat. Make sure you use the DONE FOR YOU CALCULATOR to get the appropriate amount of macronutrients for your body.

P.S.---Oh, and the interaction on facebook is great! I love hearing about how your workouts are going, and what you are eating, and how you are feeling! Some of you will also experience little, personal victories that help increase your self confidence and raise your self-image. Not only that, but a crowd is forming around us...just watching and waiting, silently cheering us on because they WANT us to achieve. Seeing you break thru your barrier may just be the thing that inspires someone else to attack theirs. I want to leave you with my all-time favorite quote from Marianne Williamson:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Alright people, let's get after it tomorrow--I am sooo proud of you!
