15 day Body Reset Diet

i decided recently to try harley pasternak's Body Reset Diet - using well-balanced smoothies and meals designed to boost metabolism, drop fat and inches.  mostly i was motivated by just wanting to try something new!  i don't usually buy into celebrity trainers / diet gurus but then i found out that harley is canadian (plus), actually educated in relevant fields - exercise physiology and nutritional science (double plus), and appeared on jian's ghomeshi's program Q on cbc radio (triple plus - i love jian ghomeshi).

naturally, trying to find his book was impossible in local bookstores but yay for iBooks.

i stocked up on ingredients - lots of fruit, veg, unsalted nuts, greek yogurt and almond milk - and got a new blender (my bullet mixer wasn't quite up to the challenge), took some starting measurements and then kicked off the 15 days this week.

day 1: apple pie breakfast smoothie, sliced turkey breast and annie's organic gluten-free crackers for mid-morning snack, mixed berry lunch smoothie, carrots for afternoon snack and then a cool cucumber lime smoothie for dinner.  first thought - i was actually full all day!  plus, green smoothies are actually yummy.  oh and "cooking" with just a blender rocks!

day 2: pear spice breakfast smoothie, cut veggies for mid-morning snack, PB&J lunch smoothie, cheese and crackers for afternoon snack and then a sweet spinach smoothie for dinner.  but i was craving snacks like crazy at night - some habits are hard to break (i gave in and had crackers and cheese).

day 3: started the day with the white peach ginger smoothie (after getting up at 5 am to take my son to hockey...).  i'm heading to yoga shortly (even though technically the body reset diet suggests pausing all workouts and replacing them with 10,000 steps of walking daily - but i love my yoga).  i'm curious to see if it's harder to maintain this diet on a weekend while cooking for my son all day - will check in again soon and let you know how it goes.

is anyone else trying the body reset diet?  leave me a note and let me know how it's going!
