#omnidiet

I am just your average 20 something trying to live a healthy lifestyle in Montana. I moved here almost exactly a year ago with my boyfriend Zach. He was stationed here in Great Falls... 700 miles away from any family or friends we have. It has just been the two of us in a small, cheap 2 bedroom apartment. Well... us and our cat, Kitten. Yes, his name is Kitten even though he’s eleven now but Zach named him eons ago when he first got him. Needless to say, it has been lonely and two young adults trying to save money don’t make the best food choices. I am going to try hard this summer to change that. Today I am 150 pounds. I am at my heaviest and my goal weight is 125 pounds by the end of the summer. 

My boyfriend won’t be doing the same diet as I will be, but he will be on his own program of working out and eating better that he has made for himself. "The Omni Diet” program is not cheap but extremely effective. I have done this diet once before but I fell off due to getting a cold over the winter and I endulged in warm  comfort foods and soups to ease my stomach... which is a big no-no. This diet is a very strict one and I would only recommend it if you are heavily motivated to change your life. This isn't just a 6 week diet, it’s about changing the way you eat forever.

You are restricted to 500 calories a day folks. It eliminates all dairy and sugars in your diet and replaces it with a 70% vegetable to 30% protein based diet. There are three main phases, each two weeks long, followed by a fourth maintenance phase. Once there, it is up to you to continue a healthy lifestyle. With this diet you can expect to see results immediately (which I love!) I was losing one pound a night and that was without working out. This time around I plan to add a 30 min workout program to my plan Monday through Friday. Depending on how much you want to lose you can opt to only do three weeks, six weeks or longer with the HCG drops. 

This isn't going to be easy because I love food. McChickens, chocolate-chip pancakes, sushi, hamburgers, pizza.... I am guilty of eating the worst things all the time because it is easy. Though at the same time I am tired of complaining about my body when it is my own fault that I am putting on weight. So starting in a week I will be saying goodbye to take-out and recording my process of getting into shape. I don’t need to be a size zero nor do I want to be. I would just love to go hiking at Glacier National park this summer and not cry my way up steep inclines because of how out of breath I am. It would also be nice to have the energy to jog longer than thirty seconds at the park down the street. I want to feel comfortable in my own clothes again and not hide under layers of baggy clothes and big dresses or sit on the couch covering up my tummy with a throw pillow. These are my realistic goals that if I can just hold on for nine short weeks I truly believe I will be a happier healthier person. My mom inspired me to try this out when I saw how happy she was doing this diet. It was awesome to see her smile when she fit into a pair of jeans she had in her closet from Lord knows how long ago. (That is huge if you knew my mom because she only ever wore sweats or baggy shorts.) 

So I will post photos of my progress, recipes, my work-outs, shopping lists, the products I use and I can vent about all the foods I miss here as well. If anyone else reads this maybe I will inspire them.
