Want to know my secret to lose weight? Aside from my GERD Diet Meal Plan, which I'm on treatment for 1 year, I also have this diet plan that helps not only for those who have a GERD problem, but also for those who wanted to lose 5lbs a week!
April 28, I was diagnosed with GERD. After a week, my doctor stop my medication, but advised to religiously follow the treatment instructions for 1 year. You know the "Does and Don't" food to eat. 😥😢😂
Aside from food, treatment plan includes my daily exercise. And that time our city is under ECQ and because I love dancing, I sign up for TikTok as my zumba guide instructor. 😂👌 I have so many dance instructors that help me a lot with my treatment. Follow me @Dancersraine 😊😘
5 Day Apple Diet Meal Plan
APPLES have always been my constant partner since I was diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that occurs when acidic stomach juices, or food and fluids back up from the stomach into the esophagus. GERD affects people of all ages—from infants to older adults. People with asthma are at higher risk of developing GERD.
Apple has a fat-loss accelerator and are high in fiber. The saying, "An apple a day really can keep the doctor away" is true! According to the latest research, an apple peel is said to build muscles, keep blood sugar levels under control and lower cholesterol.
Since I'm on my GERD Diet Plan, I incorporate apple with the other food based on my food that are good to eat. If you want to try my GERD diet plan, why not. For me, it is a successful, healthy plan as diet is based on eating rather than depriving yourself from eating.
Day 1
BREAKFAST - 2 apples
LUNCH - 1 apple
DINNER - 3 apples
***every meal just drink 1 to 2 glass(es) of warm water
Day 2
BREAKFAST - An apple and Skim Milk
LUNCH - An apple and Green Vege Salad
DINNER - 2 apples
***every meal just drink 1 to 2 glass(es) of warm water
Day 3
BREAKFAST - 1 Apple, 1 slice wheat bread, scrambled egg (In my case, I need to omit the egg yolk, because yolk are not good for GERD person).
LUNCH - 1 Apple and Salad (either vegetables or fruits)
DINNER - 1 Apple and Soup
***every meal just drink 1 to 2 glass(es) of warm water
Day 4
BREAKFAST - An apple and smoothie (I prefer banana smoothie)
LUNCH - An apple and Vegetable Soup
POST LUNCH - 1 Orange
EVENING SNACK - 1 cup Green Tea ( Because green tea are not good for GERD, I drink guava tea)
DINNER - 1 Apple and Vegetarian Lettuce Wrap (If you don't have lettuce you can use Chinese pechay)
***every meal just drink 1 to 2 glass(es) of warm water
Day 5
BREAKFAST - An apple and scrambled egg (as usual for me no yolk)
LUNCH - An apple and Vegetable Soup ( I love pumpkin & carrot soup)
POST LUNCH - 1 peach or 1 banana
EVENING SNACK - 1 green tea (In my case, guava tea or blue teenage tea with honey)
DINNER - An apple and baked fish
***every meal just drink 1 to 2 glass(es) of warm water
Need to put a disclaimer here, apples are high in fiber and good for those who are suffering from constipation because of its natural laxative. However, do not exceed more than five apples a day, and never give more that a couple of slices to a very small children. The first day of apple diet you exceed one apple, it's okay because it's your first day.
Have a day off apples after you reach the 6th day. Enjoy a takeway, don't eat oily and spicy food. You can have a slice of cake, but make sure you don't undo all your good work. Still continue your exercise and especially those who have GERD problem like me, well, we need to strictly follow our treatment.

Falling in love makes you lose weight....according to what I've read in the internet, falling in love is the reawakening of a woman into whatever it takes to get pretty. When we fall in love our body changes for the better, for some it helps them to make it easier to lose weight, but for others like me..well, hoping for a motivation to be able to control my appetite just to lose weight, that is why others use other methods to lose fats and at the same time healthy.
In my younger years when I am brokenhearted I easily lose weight because I don't have the appetite to eat. I don't have the desire to feel the pain, that's why I abstain from eating. Now, I'm in my early 40's I realize that either falling in love or brokenhearted overcoming this - the connectivity with my hunger for more food and to utter "I LOVE TO EAT" feels like a shocking change in my system.
So glad that I discover this coffee that helps me motivate by losing weight in a healthier way.
Been drinking this for almost a year, and I'm happy to make a review of this product.
For all the weight conscious people, here comes the ideal and highly effective and easy solution to lose weight by not going to a gym and/or without having to follow a strict diet.

sweating a ton at the gym).

I really had a problem in making myself back in my old shape again, the slender and firm body figure. I had two children and I don't think my body will ever be the same again.
So thankful for AVON for making a FOOD SUPPLEMENT that has L-Carnitine, a substance with antioxidant that is naturally produced by our bodies to help burn fats into energy. This will help keep our body in shape and energized(which means in taking this you need also to exercise). Aside from maintaining our weights and boosting our energy level, L-Carnitine been also used as a treatment for various heart ailments, the Tea Polyphenols, is a healthy slimming substance, 4x more healthy slimming benefits compared from the leading brands.

| PHp 449 |
Seeing my body shape has changed and the result takes me about 4 months to see it, but it was safe and great. Now, I'm pleased to see my figure coming back though it is not the exact body figure I have when I am still young and don't have kids, but then I am so happy because I gain back my self-confidence, receiving positive feedback from my friends and relatives.
Start Weight (as of January 2015) : 60 kg = 132 lbs
End Weight (as of May 2015) : 55 kg = 121.25 or 121 1/4 lbs
It's been a good 4 months! So strict with my healthy diet, never to skip meals and have a good lifestyle. I only allowed myself to have a one treat a week, this is where I indulge myself with chocolates and ice cream.
Yes, the result is not that fast, but I trust AVON in delivering & promoting their product to the market.
AVON LIFE FIT L-CARNITINE
with TEA POLYPHENOLS
Burns more fat with 3x more L-Carnitine and 4x more Tea Polyphenols. This may vary to your body reactions, in my case, it took me 4 months to see the result. Maybe because at the first month I have the hard time adjusting with the supplement and plus I'd got into the habit of eating the same amount of rice. And I can still feel that I am overweight and frumpy, but nevertheless I see my belly is getting small, and smaller every week---that I no longer look pregnant. Starting to use my old pants & skirts and able to squeeze my belly.
The supplements requires you to exercise in order to burn some fats. I started sleeping at 11pm and wake up at 5am to have my exercise. I had to motivate my self to have that discipline to get my ideal weight, which is:
 |
| How Much Should I Weigh |
I'm doing dance aerobics for 30 minutes and not to forget my monthly home-massage, which is more appropriate for us as WAHM, it is easier to become fit if you also have time to relax and be stress-free.
I got it! I am satisfied with the result. Yes, I love it so much and I am delighted.
HOW: Take each capsule twice a day, 1 hour before breakfast and 1 hour after dinner.
I felt so positive about my appearance, I even cut my hair short and put highlights to make it more ME. Though my body shape has changed and my hips become bigger, now I feel light every time I sit down knowing that my belly's are not that big and not too obvious to be seen - a sort of a flat tummies.
Though I got my confidence back but still love to lose fats again, not my weight but my another main issue and that is to get rid of my flabby arms. I will continue using AVON Life Fit L-Carnitine and I will start doing arm-toning exercise.
It's much harder doing it with exercise, and I know some of you will not like the product, because you want something that will immediately give you fast result. For me, it take longer to reach my target, still I am proud of what I achieved, I am happier with my body now.
If you want to try, just contact AVON DEALER or visit their site AVON Philippines.

Parties here and there means food here and there too! Right? Don't worry there are simple and some easy tips that will help you beat your weight gain if you will religiously follow this it will make you lose weight in a week.
Drink Water
When you feel that you are hungry drink water. People sometimes mistaken thirst for hunger and I am guilty for that. Drinking water helps you feel full, before you go to a party why not sip a glass of water first to add volume and weight to your meal.
Count to 10
Craving last for 10 minutes. So if you feel that you are craving for food just count 1 to 10, be busy for a 10 minutes break, instead urging yourself to eat why not write something or do a sense of accomplishment.
Eat more often
As I said from my past post, don't SKIP MEALS. Eight every 3-4 hours with a Light Meal. This will curbs your appetite but help boost your energy, improve moods and even speed your metabolism.
Setting goals and weekly resolutions
Be discipline enough if you set a goal. It's like that you are making your TIME MANAGEMENT. Every hour is precious, so make your time fruitful. Having a weekly resolutions, by eating at least one piece of fruits daily, every week will help you loss weight.
Add your meal with salsa
Here you can add SALSA to your meal because this spicy condiments can stand in for MAYO that deliver plenty of flavors without the FAT.
"Salsa dancing is great in losing weight too!"
Easy with alcohol intake
Alcohol is a source of calories, it has 150 calories for BEER and 85 calories for a 1 glass/125ml of a red wine. The more alcohol intake the risk of gaining weight.
TIPS:
- Don't drink on an empty stomach.
- Choose sandwich instead of crisps or chips. Or choose a chicken burger without a mayonnaise instead of kebab with garlic sauce.
- Avoid drinking rounds, studies says that drinking rounds can mean you end up drinking more. Drink out at your own pace.
- And if your drinking WHITE WINE, add a splash of soda water to help lower the content. A glass of a white wine has 77 calories.
Bottom line here is that if you want to stay healthy for the coming year 2015 and you're trying to lose weight, STICK WITH WATER.

Getting off to bed and to drink a glass of warm water has been my ritual habit since for the first time I have experienced a blood pressure of 140/80. Should I be concerned? I'm in my late 30's.
According to my Doctor I have a MILD STAGE 1 BP. It's not horrible, I don't need to PANIC. The easiest way to to bring it down is I have to strictly follow my Daily Balance Diet and to have a regular exercise and not to forget to DRINK WARM WATER in the morning.
Risk associated with a high blood pressure is a HEART PROBLEM, that leads to STROKE or KIDNEY FAILURE.
WHY WARM WATER? Because it FLUSHES OUT KIDNEYS, PREPARE YOUR STOMACH FOR FOOD, and HELPS THE BOWELS MOVE REGULARLY and NATURALLY.
I'm in my 3 months of religiously following my doctors' advice, and if you're asking me "Does it really work?" My answer is "YES, it does." I can feel lightness and my BP is back to normal 120/80.
Cleansing our internal body is very important especially if you are in your late 30's or 40's since this is the stage wherein the digestive system depresses.
Another thing to consider if you want to
loss weight, by drinking 10 ounces of warm water mix with a teaspoon of honey or a lemon juice.
It will mobilize extra fat in the body and it produces energy by making you sweat even without exercising.
Just always remember you have to wait 30 minutes before eating after drinking warm water with or without honey or lemon.
