40 Day Challenge By: Jessica Brown

During the first phase of the 40 Day Challenge you are limited to only certain vegetables and proteins as listed in Energetic Wellness's 40 Day Challenge Booklet. The first week is relatively easy. For me I was running on a high of excitement about getting my body in balance and losing my post baby weight. I found that during that first week I had a lot of energy, but once that first day of the second week started I felt completely awful. This is when I knew that some real sugar detoxing had kicked in. Sticking to the diet is so essential if you are going to achieve the desired results. Once in the second week I realized that I had been eating very large portions of the vegetables and proteins. It was easy for me to think that a could eat as much of them as I wanted, but I wasn't losing much weight. I then started to cut down my portions and right away I saw weight loss results. As you prepare to begin the 40 Day keep in mind that portions are extremely important.
Tomorrow I will post more about this as well as recipes that are great for phase one.
