3 Days Apple Detox Challenge

[shirleysyu]

I'm back! Just checking to see how everyone is doing, great to find that many of you are starting to lose weight!

I've been maintaining at 154 for the last 2 weeks. I guess it's good to slow down a bit and get my body adjusted. I've started swimming too. Anyone has any suggestions to help me with the last 10-15 pounds? Should I do another round of apples? I just hate to eat another APPLE so soon.

[lovnlife]

Today is better than yesterday. I've had 2 apples so far and 34 ounces of water but I just got out of class. I'm working on my next 34 ounces now.

[jbo]

Great job girlies!!! I am sooo happy and proud of all of you.

I am sad to say I couldn't take it anymore my tummy was giving me a few problems, and feeling a bit dizzy. I will be giving this another try very soon, once my belly calms down, tom is due NOW and I am counting down the hrs and wish he'd arrive soon!!

Please don't give up you guys are doing so great and I am inspired to know I can do this once tom leaves and hopefully I wont get dizzy and headaches!!!

hey thought I would let you know that I weighed this morning and the scale said 188!!!! finally in the 180's and get this a 4.2 pound loss in 1 day!!!! So needless to say I'm heading into day 2 VERY, VERY PUMPED UP!!! Now the only thing I'm worried about is that when I go back to my regular dieting that I will gain it back, although I always drink 3 liters of water a day so maybe I won't gain back!!

Congrats Pinky! I just posted to you in Spring to Summer. I knew you could do it! I'm not weighing until Friday. I don't want to get discouraged if I didn't lose anything. I don't usually lose alot on plans like this but I like to detox every few months for health benefits anyway and if I can get a pound or two off, I'll be happy.

[beautifuldreamer]

thanks lovn, well I don't ever do anything like this but I was desperate to get off this plateau.

I'll check back in tomorrow and let yall know what the scales say. Right now I gotta go and decorate my sunday school class.

where are all the people that signed up for this? I'm curious how it went. mayb I missed their posts. I'm on my last day and would kind of like to know what to expect tomorrow after taking the olive oil. Anybody got any stories to tell? Well so far I've lost a total of 5.4 pounds, and I'm really pleased with that, here's hoping that the loss continues!!

Let me hear from ya folks and I'll try to check back in tonight!!

I am going to try this starting tomorrow. I'm a little thrown off by the olive oil thing though. Not to be disgusting or anything but should I take this early the third night just in case I'm in the bathroom all night? What is going to happen?

[shirleysyu]

Pinky, you're probably our champion here! I know a few of us has lost a few pounds, but you've topped it! Great job! Olive oil will be tonight, I usually drink it around dinner time, pour 2 TBSP FULL of olive oil in a shot glass, chunk it down with a cup of warm water. Try not to let it sit in your mouth, just swallow it!

Unico, On the 4th day, make sure you start your meal light...nothing spicy or too heavy. My results usually happens after lunch on the 4th day.

[rinksgal]

Hi Ladies, I just today saw this posted in the challenge section. I'm gonna start this on Monday! I talked to Pinky about it and she has done really good! So I'm gonna give it a try! I will get stocked up on apples so that I'll be ready on monday! I didn't think it would be a good ideal to start it tomorrow with the weekend coming. We already have olive oil. I'll check back on Monday and let everyone know how I'm doing!

[holyroller71]

I'm in. Day 3 on Phen. I'm motivated by seeing results fast, can't wait!! Much better than the Water, Lemon $ Honey detox!! I love apples specifically Pink Lady apples you all should try them if you haven't.

[wanna b slimmer]

Hi ladies

Count me in too, but I think I'll begin mine on Monday too. Right now weekends are absolutely nuts for me.

A little worried about the headaches that some of you have been getting, so I'll keep some tylenol on hand.

My favorite apple is Fugi. I hope I don't get sick of it. I do not like the Red Delicious so I'll have to try a few different ones. Too bad caramel and candied apples aren't part of the detox

[Virgo66]

Hi Ladies!

I finished yesterday. BUT, Tuesday night our friends wanted to take us out to dinner on their last night here to thank us for our hospitality, so I gave in and ate ... bbq nachos. Not like a whole plate, but enough so that it was my dinner. Oh and a mixed drink. Yesterday (day 3), I did fine, ate probably 4 apples, drank lots of water, then the 2 tbsp of olive oil before I went to bed (chased them down with balsamic vinegar -- just kidding!). Here it is, 1 pm on day 4, and I still haven't "gone". I'm thinking the nachos screwed it up, but we'll see. There's still hope. It's not like I'm stopped up or anything, things have been normal for the past few days, I'm just waiting for the "big cleanse", or at least the usual daily... For the 3 days, I'm down about 2.5 lbs anyhow. I'm gonna give it another go next week. It was tough, but the phen certainly made it easier, and now that I know what to expect, I think I can do it again.

[lovnlife]

Well I am on day 4. I decided to give it one more day to encourage my SIL who is also doing the apple detox. So I will drink the olive oil tonight and weigh in the morning. I'll let you all know how it goes. For those of you just starting try the fuji and pink lady apples. I like them both but fuji's are my favorite.

[daqui]

Hey All,

I plan to start on Wed next week. Wish me luck!

[rinksgal]

wannab that was hilarious about the carmel and candied apples!! Wouldn't that be great! I'd eat those all day!! But guess I'll just do mine with the plain apples!

[Newbie2004]

Ok ladies I am doing a quick check in. I did complete 2 days of the detox and I felt great i didnt weigh myself, because i do weekly weigh in, but hopefully it help with the weight loss and I do feel better.

Ladies keep up the good work.

[beautifuldreamer]

well I took the oil with dinner time apple and all I can say is Thank you shirley for the heads up about not holding it in ur mouth and washing it down with warm water. Ohterwise I would have been a goner!! boy that was GROSS!!! Made my stomach heavy, like I'm gonna get sick, but I think that feeling will pass. So what do I expect next?
I'll check in tomorrow am and let you know what the scales say. I'm really, really hoping for 185 that would b wonderful and leave me at only 5 pounds away from 50 pounds lost so far!! here's hoping... see u all in the morning.

Pinky

[lovnlife]

I have to thank you too Shirley. The olive oil was nasty but at least I did wash it down fast. I am actually feeling very energized and "light". Wish me luck...I weigh in the morning.

Good luck with the weigh ins Pinky and Newbie!

[Unico]

Well, one apple down. This is going to be really tough for me. 1) I was already having cravings/urges last night to cheat 2) I have never liked apples.

But hey, if it will drop this weight off. Then I can suffer for three days.

I'm thinking two things though. My craving/cheat that I've been wanting has been chocolate. For the last two days I have craved it. On one hand I don't want to cheat at all on the other hand I'm thinking that, as a reward for the weekend, that a miniture milky way or bit of sugar free chocolate would not be killing my diet and then the craving would be gone. But then I have the fear that if I let myself do it once, I'll just keep doing it.UGH!! I honestly don't know what to do!

[beautifuldreamer]

ok guys well the scales said 185.6 this morning!!!! I feel like celebrating!!! I am only 5.5 pounds away from 50 pounds lost so far!!! WOO HOO!! I haven't had any results on the oil yet. wonder if I will. Anyway I'm off to eat a lite breakfast. I will check in again later.

Pinky

[Unico]

Wow, Pinky, I am so glad you posted this. I was really starting to wonder if it would be worth it! My whole office just went out to lunch and here I sit by myself finishing apple number two. Today is going to be tough because I forgot to take my phen but so far not too bad.

A couple questions.

Is anyone exercising while doing this?
How much water are you getting in?
Did anyone feel gassy?
How much oil? I've read on here two tablespoons but I read on other sites that it's a tablespoon a night or 1/2 cup on last night.

Thanks. Wish me luck. Good luck to all my fellow apple eaters!

[lovnlife]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I lost 4lbs! I am really suprised! I am close to my goal weight and these are the hardest pounds to lose. I have not had any effect from the olive oil yet either.

Congrats Pinky!

Unico - don't deprive yourself or you will just want to binge later. You should be trying to develop better eating habits for a lifestyle, not a "diet" per se. Have a small piece of chocolate this weekend if you want. You should still have things you like in moderation. Just make sure to keep it in check! In answer to your questions, I did exercise while on this but only b/c I didn't want to mess up my routine. I did cut my cardio back a little since my calories were so low. I drank at least 100 ounces of water a day. I personally did not feel gassy until the last day. I did the 2 tblspoons last night. Good Luck!

[Virgo66]

I had no noticable reaction to the olive oil (2 tbsp on last night), drank a min of 100 oz water/day (my usual), did not exercise , and I can't say if I felt more energized or not, but I have slept better for the past few nights. And it did not make me gassy. I also didn't peel most of my apples, which was not a problem for my tummy.

Keep going, Unico! It's tough, but it's "just 3 days". I had to keep telling myself that. I'm gonna give it another try next week, now that our company is gone and there's nobody to take us out to dinner and "make me" stray...

And yes, the Phen DEFINITELY makes it easier!!

Mary

[lovnlife]

Mary, I didn't peel some of mine either. I didn't peel the ones I ate during the day b/c I mostly ate them on the go...I peeled the ones I ate at home in the evenings. It didn't bother my stomach either.

[beautifuldreamer]

hey guys well I still have had no effect from the oil and if I don't have one then next time I'm dropping the oil. bc all I really wanted was the weight loss and I got that and the oil was the WORST part about it. As for me I didn't feel gassy, I didn't exercise bc I heard of the extreme fatigue and figured I shouldn't but I did not experience the fatigue, I drank 3 liters a day (what I always drink), the oil I've already adressed. hope this helps.

Pinky

[love4me]

ladies

Thank you all for the info. I'am looking forward to starting this on Monday.

[Unico]

I couldn't do it. I was so hungry I came home and binged. Guess I haven't developed enough will power yet. Maybe another time.

For everyone who's thinking of doing this. Go for it. Everyone's different, it's worked for so many others. Good luck!

[rinksgal]

Well I'm starting this in the morning. I've already bought my apples! I think I might take my phen while on this and my mulit vitamin.

I'll let you all know how it goes for me!

[blueberry]

Well, I tried this yesterday but was still very hungry after 6 apples. I finally gave up and binged on a half box of cereal

I'm starting again today. I didn't take phen yesterday so I hope the phen today makes a real difference. I've had one apple this morning and am still hungry. If I do make it through today, I think I can only last one more day. Two days will be better than nothing. We shall see, though, how long I can last. I'm off to go get some more water.

I'm curious to know if those of you who succeeded in the detox gained the weight back after eating regular foods?

[rinksgal]

Ok this is day one for the apple detox. I've eaten 4 apples so far. I read a thing on line about this apple detox and it says you should have no less than 6 to 8 apples each day. I also decided not to take my vitamins or other supplements while on this. I would like to know though if anyone thinks it will hurt me to take the CLA while on this detox? I don't want to do without it but I don't want to screw up this detox either. So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. So far today I haven't taken them. I have also already drank 128 oz. of water and will no doubt drink another 64 oz. depends on how long I spend in the garden after I get off of here. I've been working outside all day and its really hot, but I feel fine! I did take the phen though. I did figure I'd better take it. Its been really easy today. It seems like from what everyone has said that day 2 is the worse. Hopefully it won't bother me. I quit caffeine a few months ago, so I won't have that problem. So maybe I won't have the headaches either. So enough chatter. I will check back late this evening.

[love4me]

rinkgal/ Today is day one, I just finish with apple #3 I didn't know we need to eat 6 to 8 each day well I Guest I'am behind maybe I can get one more before bed. water 4 liters. Decided to go outside and work in my garden too I was afraid of eating all day. Day two tomorrow hope it goes has easy has today. Good luck tomorrow.

[rinksgal]

Well day one I have eaten 5 1/2 apples with no peeling. I've drank 212 oz. of water but I was outside most the day too and it is hot here. I hope tomorrow goes as good as today. I'll keep you posted.Love4me good luck on day two

[lovnlife]

blueberry - As of today, I have not gained the 4lbs back.

[love4me]

Day two on apple detox and all is fine 2 apple and 2 liters of water it's about 3:00 now and I'am not hungry no head ack. Last night I did have to get up 3 times to use the bathroom that not a big deal if its not the detox its the water. I had to weight myself this morning and 142 that 2 pounds off. I'll post tonight and let you know how the rest of the day is going.
