With traveling, holiday, family and friend functions, I need to reset. For the next 21 days I'm having 2 shakes a day, and a sensible meal. I feel like it will be just as much of a mental relief as a physical one.
Anyone interested in a 21 day reboot? I'm also using this weigh in template that someone else shared, if anyone would like to utilize it as well
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R05TgMg7Xcv5rf5dAzfuNeaEOEJYtzeq5gBH5dEjnXg/edit?usp=sharing
^not sure why it won't let me link it, but the spreadsheet is there nonetheless.
Looking forward to it!

No such thing as a reset or reboot, nor is one needed.

There is such a thing, cause I'm doing one. And I "need" one.6

She's right, it isn't necessary. Just eat in a deficit, focusing on nutrient-dense foods that you'd be missing out on with the shakes.7 -
No thanks I prefer to eat my food6

I'm not asking for advice. This is what I'm doing. I know how it works.5

Clearly, since you're crash dieting away those lbs that crept back up. I'm sure it'll work this time

This is you assuming.3 -
if youve been here for years why do you still believe your body needs resetting like its a broken machine? Not only will 2 shakes a day suck (youll lose your motivation fast everyone starts out all excited for any new diet) but you wont learn ANYTHING about how to feed yourself long term, Youll likely cause more damage to your body thn good with lack of nutrients, And in 21 days youll just end up putting weight on from not learning anything about how to feed yourself.
why so defensive if you don't like being told your being needlessly silly dont post on here, No ones attacking you just telling you the truth. Many of the people responding have lost huge amounts of weight and gained a ton of fitness/health. We know our stuff. Learn how to eat. Eat at calorie level. Stop complicating it14 -
It's basically the slim fast plan. How many calories are you consuming?5

I'm in. Unlike all the others on this post I'll be supportive. I've been doing two shakes a day and a sensible meal for about a month and I feel great. I don't have sugar cravings anymore and have a lot more energy. And yes, it is a 'reboot.' My mother lost 50lbs in 12 weeks doing something similar through a weight management program at a hospital (and kept it off!)

Maybe because my family and I have done intermittent fasting for years, and juicing, that's why I do it. And we also, several times a year, focus on reconnecting with whole foods, and nourishing our bodies with the healthiest food possible. It's a great way to "reboot" yourself mentally and physically. Correcting bowel issues, mental fogginess, resetting bad habits. Juicing is a great way to do it, and 21 days is short and sweet, and certainly not complicated. If you have a problem with that, don't do it.
You are all making grand assumptions, when I asked a question for those interested in focusing on something entirely different than your arguments reflect.
Save it, guys. You exhaust people with your unending arguments. Unless you have something productive to say, that actually relates to me in anyway. After my 21 days, if you cared to ask (before you jumped down a strangers throat), I'll go back to eating my normal sensible diet, feeling refreshed, like we always do.
So, if anyone would be interested in taking 21 days to reset their patterns and mind, I would be happy to check in with you.6 -

Thanks. I've actually learned a great deal here over the years, esp regarding CICO. I'm grateful for that. I just mostly read, though, but truly, thanks for the warmth.

I wear a fitbit, so stay within my TDEE calories -500 for now. Right now I'm just mostly wanting to reset my habits, thinking, and relieve my bloat and cravings. My palette is a little disjointed right now.4 -

Wrong, there are tons of shakes out there that have all the nutrients you need in a day, Ensure, Herbalife, GNC Total Lean...to name a few. In fact, a child of a family friend has many health issues and cannot eat regular food, and his doctor told him that Ensure is the way to go. Many individuals in treatment for anorexia will also drink a shake similar to Ensure because it has all the nutrients you need to survive. If a reset is what she thinks she needs, who are you to say otherwise?

So unless every person who commented negatively about your idea is a doctor or nutritionist, keep your comments to yourself
You've been doing it a month so far? Well, looks like I'll be joining you then. And thanks for your comment, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I know mentally I'm looking forward to the focus and routine of 1 thing, until I start feeling better all around. I've been feeling like a stuffed sausage, and it's affecting my sleep badly.
Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you!0 -
for Mrs. Seiger and Original Poster: Are you doing any snacks in between and if so, what are they? Thanks0
