A funny thing happened on the scale today. I have now lost 19 pounds in 20 days. Impossible? Apparently not. I last reported that I had lost 15 pounds in 13 days, and since, my weight loss has slowed down considerably. My diet has not changed, my sleep is the exactly the same and I drink the same amount of water. The only part of my daily routine that has changed is the frequency and intensity of my workouts. I began walking 2 miles, 2 to 3 days per week and now I walk 3 miles, 4 to 5 days per week.
I must be adding muscle.
But how? My caloric intake has stayed well below 1000 calories per day on the Eden Diet. Is this possible to build muscle taking in less than 1000 calories per day? Not if you read Ironman Magazine. According to Ironman Magazine you have to do 10 bare essential things to gain muscle:
1.Weight Train
2. Eat more Calories
3. Eat more Protein
4. Eat more Often
5. Eat more Fat
6. Drink more water
7. Take a multi-vitamin
8. Take antioxidants
9. Rest more often
10. Be Consistent
I have done exactly ZERO things on this list; and yet, I still gained muscle this last week. There is a site whatthebleep.com and on this site is a documentary that everyone should view. The documentary explores the world of Quantum Physics, Neurology and Molecular Biology in relation to the spheres of Spirituality and Metaphysics. The human body is a mystery, to us all, and science is just beginning to explore the possibilities of cleansing and low calorie (low compared to the Standard American Diet guidelines) diets.
My usual results are still visible: soft skin, high energy and I sleep very well. I only need 6 hours of sleep a night, when 8 hours was never enough. My skin was always dry and now my skin is always smooth and well moisturized, without adding any kind of skin product.
I have energy to burn on a daily basis – and I’m a single parent.That’s saying a lot. My physical weight loss should be 70 pounds by the end of my Eden Diet and Water Fast. That’s losing 70 pounds, in 70 days. We’ll see how it goes.
