Day 3 of the Every Other Day Diet detox phase is almost over and I am feeling like I can take on the world! Not only am I not experiencing any side effects, my energy has frickin shot through the roof. Plus I have had absolutely no food cravings at all today.

Angie baked some whole wheat raisin muffins for the kids and it didn’t even phase me. I was with a friend today and they were eating a chocolate bar (my weakness is chocolate) and I was not tempted at all.

The first 2 days I was really missing protein, but today I haven’t really given it much thought. I am however looking forward to introducing it back into my later meals tomorrow.

Typically when I’ve followed a detox the third day is killer for me and once I get past that my energy usually explodes. This time it has skyrocketed on the third day. The big difference is that on the Every Other Day Diet 7-Day Detox Plan I really never crashed like I have on other detoxes. There’s been times before when I’ve had to take days off work because I just couldn’t function. That didn’t happen this time.

Just to let you know, as I complete the detox phase and get ready to enter Jon’s Every Other Day Diet Extreme Plan, I will give you my goals and intentions. I don’t plan on releasing a lot of fat. Actually I only plan on using the Every Other Day Diet Extreme Plan for 8 weeks for fat loss and then I will use the same plan but with increased amounts of the same foods in order to build muscle.

I talked to Jon about being able to build muscle on the Every Other Day Diet Plan and he agreed that increasing the calories by simply adding more of the same foods and following the same plan would be excellent for muscle building.

That’s good to know because it truly means that this is a lifestyle plan that I could adapt to all phases of my life and training.

If you haven’t listened to the interview that I did with Jon covering some very important information on why most diets actually make you fat and why managing your stress and applying a stress free way of eating is crucial to your hormone balance and your ability to burn fat then you must take some time to listen by following this link:

One cool tip that I would like to mention is about how I’ve made my salads tasty without adding dressing. I normally use very little dressing on my salads to begin with, but on this detox there’s absolutely no dressing aloud. The solution that Jon and Jan recommended was squeezing lemon on your salad and adding a pinch of sea salt.

Whoa baby! Let me tell ya, I squeezed half a lemon on my salad and added that pinch of sea salt and I believe I’m hooked. My taste buds were dancing.

I’m going to leave you with a great piece of advice from Jon Benson; “Dedication to the goal is more important than dedication to the plan.”

In other words, be absolutely 100% committed to the goal that you are trying to achieve and the reasons why you want to achieve that goal, along with how your life is going to change once you achieve it.

Plans come and go, but your dream and vision is alway true. Dedicate yourself to being the best that you can be and never let go of that.
