Nope. I didn't work as a phone operator. Decided not to. :D
If you've been following me on instagram, I had a few photos under the hash tag #leptindiet. Next thing I know, people are asking me about it.
I'm trying to strike off a few to-dos on my bucket list. One of them being "try a new diet". I am a vegetarian and this is tough. I figured that I should try a detox diet, for there are rumours about it being able to help me lose weight in a short amount of time.
That was... Until I saw the meal plan for a detox diet.
In case you don't know what a detox diet is, it is a diet which apparently helps to clean your body of toxins by inducing new eating habits, resulting in weight loss. Sounds too good to be true right? Right.
There were so much restrictions in this diet. I can't take in dairy products and products high in carbs and the list goes on. I have to prepare all meals at home and this is a rather time consuming diet, especially when I am a working teen. It is also rather troublesome for vegetarian, considering that the number of food I can consume is reduced further. Let's just say it's unhealthy too.
I was lost, wondering if I should just abort this mission (HAHAHAH. MISSION EH?)
And then... I found the leptin diet! JENG JENG JENG!
It was a diet that helps to control the leptin, which is a hormone in my body. Leptin is responsible for how hungry you feel. And how much you eat.
It's simple too! All I have to do is to eat 3 meals a day. Each meal must be 5 hours apart and I have to eat dinner 3 hours before I sleep. I can't snack (I broke this rule once. Only once.) and I have to incorporate protein and carbs into my breakfast. Simple as that.
Hahahah, I sound like I'm promoting it.
Yes, I'm on a diet. But I'm not skipping meals. Way tooooooo unhealthy. Regular meals will do the trick :D
