Day 2 Round Deux!
Hey kids,
Today was a bit rougher I’m not going to lie. The moodiness and lack of proper eating scheduling was a huge factor today.
The day began at noon, because that’s when I woke up. I was feeling super lethargic so I slept in, which already put me behind and put my scheduling back. In any event:
Had a protein bar for “breakfast.” and then I decided to venture out...

Day 1 Round Deux!
Hi friends,
Turns out, the second time around, cleanses are a lot easier to deal with. Despite battling some serious hunger (my tummy was grumbling pretty audibly at lunch) I am doing okay. I am definitely glad I kicked caffeine earlier in the week. At my work they provide doughnuts (only on Friday’s) and sometimes, one of the manager-types (not sure what his position is to this day really)...

Falling off the wagon
So,
as you can probably tell from the lack of posts, Nailah fell off the wagon. Hard.
It was a gradual loosening of my proverbial food morals but eventually it ended up turning into the complete abandonment of them.
But everything has its consequences. And boy am I feeling the consequences of abandoning my diet.
Truthfully?
I feel like shit.
Sure, there are personal\emotional factors that...

One Girl No Diet: What to Eat: Korean Edition →
My Korean friend has felt this way for years!
onegirlnodiet:
Korean food is one of my favorite foreign cuisines. It’s definitely my favorite that’s widely available in the US.
It’s fairly inexpensive and generally really well balanced nutritionally. At it’s best, it’s completely unpretentious and delicious…

Cravings, relapses and emotional eating
Hey you guys,
I wanted to dialogue a bit about cravings. A good friend of mine and I talk constantly about how we are struggling to get ‘back on the wagon.’ I can only speak for myself and as such will do so.
The cleanse was a really interesting experience. It was completely challenging and despite some mini cheating, due largely to lack of honey :( for smoothies I think I did pretty...

Hi there,
I told you there would be cheating. So I decided to celebrate being off my cleanse in an unfortunate way. Made devilled eggs (which for the record were delicious!) but I felt really guilty afterwards. I think I might have to reintroduce not so good foods slowly. In fact I feel kind of sick. I don’t think my body is used to eating unhealthy foods after all. I hate that I am feeling...

Update: Cleanse Day 3
Hey guys,
Good lord. I’m hanging in there but barely. Cheated slightly today because I added granulated sugar to my shake because I had no honey. Real shame. Then again the tofu, flax seed, and unsweetened almond milk I think evened that out.
While mood has been…whats the nice word for ‘bitchy’… I definitely am surprised that I have stuck with the program. It...

Hey ya’ll
It’s day two of cleanse and I am just about ready to make breakfast. It’s going to be a fruit salad of sorts: grapefruit, kiwi and orange, tossed together topped with slivered almonds. Omnomnom. I couldn’t up load the salad photo until today. Here is the ‘recipe.’
Ingrediants:

2 fistfuls of mixed greens and arugula

Home-Made Protein Shake Making Adventure Palooza...
Hi!
I had a pretty successful shopping trip actually. Managed to get a lot of goodies including some protein bars that I will put up here shortly. They are just for the duration of this cleanse. I started out late because I hadn’t finished shopping yet so the first meal of the day sadly occurred about 20 minutes ago. I settled on soft tofu for the protein component because it was mmm mmm...
Turns out protein powder is kind of pricy lololol
Hey,
So I hit a few snags grocery shopping last night. Unfortunately papa thought it would be a good idea to go grocery shopping……at 9pm. Needless to say I didn’t really end up getting what I needed so we are making a subsequent list. Also, even President’s Choice brand was like $15. That was not okay. Though I have found suitable substitutes: greek yogurt contains 17g of...

Me vs. Bagels.
Hey,
So this post actually is because of this ongoing argument with my dad. He bought bagels today as he usually get’s fresh bread on Saturday mornings. God Bless Him. However, I want to like bagels. I really do. But most bagels are like 300-400 calories before you even put any toppings on. That depresses me. Though I suppose if you eat it for breakfast there is still a chance for you to...

Hey again.
Tomorrow is the big day eek!!! I’m slowly thinking of a grocery list to compile… My papa is grabbing some stuff for me but I think it’ll look something like this: 3 grapefruits, 2 bunches of kale, radishes, celery, soy protein mix & frozen fruit for shakes and the fixins for hummus. I think that will get me through the weekend. Wish me luck. I will of course...

3 Day Cleanse. Lord Help Me.
Hey there,
So I’ve spent a little bit of time researching how this cleanse is going to go. I am dreading it but I am also really excited for the challenge. After doing some research I realized a 3 day cleanse would probably work best for me as that sort of intensity for 7 or 14 days would be brutal and thus the 3 day plan was chosen. A lot of cleanse plans are a bit ridiculous as they are...

Introducing....
Hi there,
Firstly, let’s start with introductions. I’m Nailah King, a full-time student and aspiring writer. More importantly, I am an on\and off dieter. Struggling with my weight for the duration of my life, though I am a small girl, I concede I want to cross that final frontier: weight maintenance. I have never been able to achieve this and someone suggested trying a detox diet....
