Crossroads
I have worked hard, very hard to get out of the `obesity` level of my body. I started out on 86 kg in the spring of 2010 with a fat percentage of 45% and several health problems. I used the Cambridge shakes, soups and bars to lose over 24 kilos and kept that off for quite some time. But now I´ve gained some of that (I reached 61 kg with CWP, but now I'm around 65) and I hate it. I thought I could exercise at least 3 times a week, but when I find the time I always allow myself to take some rest or convince myself with lame excuses so I don't go. I have run the test needed to know how much calories and exercise is needed to lose weight at this point. I need to exercise 3 to 5 times a weeks AND eat 1500 Calories(or less) to be able to lose 500 grams of weight a week. Every 4 weeks I'll have to recalculate and/or increase the amount of exercise moments a week. These are the crossroads for me. I am weeks away from being 26 and I truely need to lose my "overweight" status (I need to be less than 61 kg (my wish 55 kg), have a waist of less than 80 cm (my wish 65 cm) and a fat percentage between 21% and 33% (25% is my wish). As they get older women have a harder time long weight, so I wanted to be healthy by all my standards before my 26th birthday. Because of Christmas, New Year's Eve and my b-day on the 4th of January I do not think that CWP would be pleasant for me right now. I also have 6 mid-terms spread over 3 weeks with the last one on 12 January. So I am watching what I eat right now to prevent more weight gain and I need to just go to the gym. I have a membership at David Lloyd and it's free till January, which is another reason to go. I have been dieting for over a year now and the last bit seems to be hardest So I want to make a deal with myself and my readers thatis madeup of 5 parts:
1 Cleansing
A friend of mine pointed out that the CWP-products aren't natural and very concentrated. I will need to cleanse my body of the artificial elements of those products to effectively lose the rest of weight. I plan to to it like this:
2 weeks of the Hygienic Diet
1-2 weeks of the Raw Diet
1-2 Weeks of the Vegan Diet
1- 2 Weeks of the Vegetarian (without egg) Diet
2 Weeks of the Pescetarian diet
2 Weeks of Lactose-Free, Gluten-Free, Pesce-Pollotarian Food plam
I plan on exercising 3-4 times a week during this entire period and I will start on February the 1st (Unless I am 60kg or less by then). However if I am HEAVIER than 65 kg on 1/2/2012, I will go back on CWP.
2 Trial
Before I go on this cleanse of 9 to 12 weeks I will first do a trial. This is the Hygienic diet. After those 2 weeks I'll have to figure out if I want to do the raw to real-plan (the one you see above) or just go back to healthy and balanced eating, right after those two weeks. I believe a good build-off is always the best way the go, it will just take in a lot of my time. Though, I have done it before, I truly feel that if I take on this 9-week commitment, it will change a bit more of my perspective without poisoning my body the way CWP does. I have seen people lose weight on his diet and exercise helped them keep it off.
3 Commitment
I will have to place blogs an ideos to keep me motivated.I have noticed tha I slack off when I don't keep up with my progress. So I am commited to writing, video blogging and talking about it as often is possible. I also have different elements of nutrition that I still have to figure out. I onced promised to blog about them so I will. Examples are: Salt. Peppers, Protein and Alcohol (not a nutrient but heavily consumed).
4 Last resort
If I am more than 65 kg on 1 February 2012, I will go back on CWP. And stay on that till I weigh 52 kg or less. I will allow myself to be strictly on the shakes for max. 11 weeks including one eating week. This is my very last resort. I hope it doesn't come to this 'cause I'm starting to feel like I am a jojo-dieter. Let's hope it doesn't come to this!
5 Reports
For now I am holding on to 1800 Kcal a day and I will report my progress every sunday starting January. For now I am fighting the flab, guys!
All in all Obesity Rehab is a challenge and a great one at that. You need to stay focused and realize that your lifestyle has to remain active, healthy and balanced. Or else you will get fat again.

Recipes (CWP- Step 2) #1: CWP Step 2: Cauliflower Rice with Curry chicken and Stuffed Paprika
Every 6-12 weeks you are allowed to eat 300 kcal extra as a meal (dinner) and this dish is suitable for that.. In my case I'm builing off so I get to eat this meal on my 1st easing off-week. It has a little bit more calories because of the oil. You can ease up on that if you're worried about the kcal. You can steam the veggies and save on kcal because of the oil.
Nutrional Value
Kcal: 332
Carbs: 36
Fat: 11
Protein: 25
Ingredients
125 gr Chicken Breast, raw
120 gr Cauliflower rice
80gr Onion (Raw and chopped)
1 Red Paprika (Red Bell Pepper, 100 gr)
2 Leafs Pak Choi
3 tsp Curry Powder
50 gr Tauge (Bean Sprouts)
max. 1/2 TBSP Vegetable Oil
Crushed Black pepper
Tip: a few leaves of Fresh celery
Directions
1. Make Cauliflower "Rice"
Shred the caulilower into rice-like pieces. You can do that in a foodprocessor or with an handmixer. Then put the cauliflower in a microwave safe covered dish. And cook it in the microwave for 5 minutes. DO NOT ADD Water. It will make your cauliflower-rice fall apart.
If you don't have a microwave. You can steam the cauliflower in a steam pan or in another way, as long as you steam the cauliflower (by hanging the cauliflower above cooking water).
2. Heat a pan with some oil and pre-heat our oven at 220C
If you use a teflon or thermolon pan, you don't need any oil and you can add or spray oil while you are baking your goods
3. Season and bake the chicken
* Mix 1 tsp of curry powder with a few drops of water and season the chicken with it.
* Sprinkle crushed black pepper over the chicken and cut off a third.
* Bake 2/3 of the chicken as a whole
* Slice the cut off third into smaller strips.
* Use the baking grease to stir-fry the chicken strips. for 1 minute
4. Wash and cut the vegetables except for the Bell Pepper
While you're baking the bigger piece of chicken:
* Wash the bean sprouts and pak choi thrroughly and cut the pak choi into bite-size pieces
* Wash and Peal the onion, cut it into slices and weigh them before use
* Wash the bell pepper and ONLY cut off the top. You can do this in an easy way by cutting the top off in one straight line. Another way is to cut around the stem to save more Bell Pepper.
* Deseed the bell pepper. Leave in some seeds if you like the extra spice and place the Paprika in the oven.
3. Prepare the Paprika filling
* Add the pak choi and onions to the chicken stripes and stir-fry for 1 minute with a tsp of curry powder and if needed some oil. Add the bean sprouts for another minute with the last tsp of curry powder, black pepper and a pinch of salt..
4. Stuff the paprika
Fill the paprika with the filling and place it back into the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Check on the paprika after 10 minutes to see if you like it the way it is or not.
5. Finish off
Serve the Cauliflower Rice with the baked chicken and stuffed bell pepper. You can use the juices inside of the paprika as a saucy base. If you have oil left and you still feel your dish is too dry, you can use the last bit to make your dish nicer. Garnish with chopped celery.
