MY THREE DAY EGG DIET






Hey there, thanks for visiting my blog.  I kind of write about anything and everything. My daily escapades, things I see, experience and what I learn eventually. Hope you enjoy reading. and if you can, drop a comment too will appreciate. 😛😛

Two days ago, I decided to give my body a little change. Well, I am not the kind of person who can willingly sleep hungry. Except in very extreme cases and by which too, I would still take a bite. Well, am not a weight watch freak, but I have a bucket list to which I have to wear a particular dress, put on some particular shoes, bikini, bla bla and the list goes on.
So, after constant daily research on weight loss, healthy body, very fast slimming ways, many days of self motivation and daily exercises, constant googles on drastic weight loss programs; all the time still failing, I decided enough was enough and it was time I said goodbye to the norm and couch potato thoughts. Well, reading this, it sounds a bit serious. But not quite. You see, as a person who’s always been thin, being fat came as a shocker. No one really recognized me( I tend to think);  of-cos except for my big God given eyes. I was a somewhat different person. (Thank you baby fat! Thank you very much 😞😞😞😞😞)
From the GM diet, Mukami's diet (one I stole from my demon possessed former collegue--) Lol, story for another day. I digress.After beating my head with so many theories, every day and night, reading and re-reading all comments by trolls and supporters alike, I finally decide to settle on the 3 day egg diet. Boy, wasn't I excited. Amid all demonic voices in my head urging me otherwise, I had to finally make a decision.

The diet promised 3kgs loss in 3 days. Heavenly, right? Beat all other promising miracles by far. Like one for the 40kgs loss at 40yrs in 8 months?
Haha why do people do that? Lose weight, write a book, unleash YouTube videos and the like? While somewhere in Aga Khan hospital a paid surgeon is smiling all the way to the bank for a successful surgery?
Damn ladies... Am no hater though. But be loyal!

Day 1:
Am really psyched up. I decide to follow the diet strictly. 3 days ain't much, I convince myself.

First Day

My day starts with a cup of water 500ml. For Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 2 tomatoes along with a cup of green tea. Am ok with this, take it with ease. But I decide on sugarless black coffee.   Lunch,  2 egg whites, 1 cup of green tea and 120 gm of baked or boiled fish. I decide to do away with lunch altogether, since it's a busy day and I have no time to start baking fish. For Dinner, I decide on boiled broccoli, raw carrots and cucumber. Again, push it down with water.
 Yeiyy! I have made it through day 1,  am feeling a bit weak. So i sleep a bit early to cheat my otherwise rumbling stomach.

Second Day

Am happy I made it through day 1.2 more days to go. I start with a glass of water. For Breakfast  I go with 1 banana, 2 boiled eggs and 1 cup sugarless black coffee.
I drink loads of water. Am excited today since for lunch, I got to eat  2 egg whites and 1 glass of green tea and  boiled 120 grams of chicken without skin.I decide not to eat the egg whites. I take one egg white and sea salt plus the boiled chicken. I don't have anything to measure. So am sure I have eaten like 250g. Then take alot of water. I avoid the green tea recommended. And for dinner, I settle on a cup of milk.
I sleep a happy woman.

Third Day

I feel like a winner already. Today is the final day. I have not had an ounce of carbs. The diet: "Here start the breakfast with 1 glass of tomato juice and 2 boiled eggs.". I decide on one tomato and 2 boiled eggs and of cos, black sugarless coffee. For lunch, the diet recommends "1 cup of green tea and 2 egg white along with cooked red meat of around 120 grams". I decide on 100g of red  meat and a handful of rice. Damn, my body was aching from starvation. After the meal, I feel like a cheat; but I drink loads of water.
I decide to go to church to keep my mind of food during the evening.
Well, this is the day the rain decides to pour. I get rained on and am hungry as hell. The diet recommends "a green salad, 2 baked potatoes and 1 glass of green tea". But well, I have no time. I take a bowl of boiled beans and maize (traditional Kikuyu food; githeri) and of-cos again water and head to bed.

Also note I avoided salt and instead opted for sea salt.

The next day am happy I made it though sad I cheated a little.
I decide to weigh before lunch...and voila! Believe it or not, am 4kgs less! Great day it is.

I eat as normal, cringing that I stick to low or no carbs.By end month, will see how mch will have lost.

Through My Daughter's Eyes

I have a little angel in my house. A little pretty, flower girl that throws her hands up whenever I come home. A sign of appreciation and admiration I suppose. She's a bright little piece of art. Learning things very fast. Words, actions all in a manner that's a combination of pretty, witty, funny and cute. Yet she doesn't forget an action or word said. May it be an advert on tele, a weird random action I just did unknowingly. It sticks in her little mind.  Sticks and never goes away. So we mind our language whenever we are around her. We watch what we do, the programmes we subject her to, because whatever she sees, she copies and permanently pastes in her little head. Shes an awesome piece. She seems to appreciate life every time she wakes up. Giving off a soft mourn so that I can know she has just woken up. And when I do, she seems to tell me with her eyes. Well, mummy, am glad to be living. The brightness in her face and eyes are priceless. When in most cases I woul

Who made us judge(s)?

"You looked at her and yelled out, Instantly never thinking of how, That may have made her feel. Did you ever stop to think that she, Dressed like that because of how it Made her feel?...." The poem reads in part. When I first read this poem, I said to myself, "oh jeez number one culprit of judgement". You see, am always judging people. I will make a comment in mind of how a woman has dressed,make a face and go "whatever" when someone looks at my legs. I have never really taken time to ask myself why a person is how they are. Am sure the throne of judgement gets sat on by each one of us..on a daily basis. Do you cringe when you see people kiss or hold hands in public? Whisper words like, "braggers", "she will get dumped". Do you find yourself laughing at a fat person and quickly judge her? "consequences of french fries", "how does one get that fat? Wasn't she checking?". Or when you see a man in sweat s

Of Everything There Is

Am a fan. A huge fan of my mother. Cliche, right? But nop, my mum is one sole soul, I would actually wanna return on earth to be with. She is an amazing woman. I have no clue where she gets the strength to push on from. But I know she must be a bit unique to do so. I have had an amazing life experience. Having lived my life like a cat, nine lives may be an under statement. I have had all the things a woman can(or should). I have been lucky, and blessed I guess. I have seen the best of life, actually had the best in life, and have also lost the best of life. I tend to think of my life as a zipped folder. Archived in a way that only those close can take a glimpse and wonder or maybe disappear. But no, not my mother. She believes there's nothing new on earth. All things that happen have once happened. So nothing is ever new. Bad or good, she has weathered many storms to see me(and my siblings) beat the odds, literally. Being a woman is hard enough as it is. There are many things
