We are now 6 weeks into the ongoing gradual programme designed to help Catrina back to optimum health. As she and every just about every other dieter knows – if you go on a slimming diet sooner or later you come off the diet and back creeps the weight until you’re worse than back to where you started – you’re even heavier!
So despite the fact that Catrina needs to lose a lot of weight I haven’t put her on a weight loss plan but I have asked her to cut out stimulants and the foods that were found to be toxic to her in an intolerance test.
At the start of the programme she was so toxic that drinking lemon water made her feel queasy. Adding ginger for a while relieved this, then she was able to tolerate the lemon water alone and for the last week has been tolerating a spoonful of olive oil added to it. This is real progress and a clue that she is very gradually becoming less toxic.
Last week at the end of week 5 she’d been off all her intolerant foods for at least 5 weeks, sugar had been cut out last mainly because a sugar free diet is really inconvenient. If you think you don’t each much sugar this short video is food for thought: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004tm69
We’ve agreed that Catrina won’t weigh herself as this is “diet” mentality however after 5 weeks I wanted to check what was happening with her weight and body make up. The results were fantastic.
Overall Catrina had lost 10.5lb in weight, even better her body fat percentage had dropped from 55% to 53% which means that she lost a total of 12lb in FAT. So proportionally she has a little more water than she had before.
12lb of body fat in just 5 weeks is a great result and she’s thrilled – especially as slimming is her secondary goal.
I continue to be impressed by her commitment, both to the techniques I’ve asked her to do and the ban on stimulants. Giving up alcohol was Ok at first but she’s starting to miss it now but I want her liver to be much healthier before we can talk about an occasional glass of wine.
Castor Oil packing twice a week is stepping up the process of detoxing her liver in preparation for a liver flush in April.
Today I used Thought Field Therapy to establish that her unconscious mind and conscious mind are congruent (agreeing) and discovered that although her short term goal was good for both the long term goal was not supported by her unconscious. Without clearing this in all likelihood her unconscious would have sabotaged her efforts resulting in failure despite the good intentions of her conscious mind.
Her medium term goal is to be a size 18 by September, I’m confident she’s going to make it.
