I would definitely recommend the Clean and Lean approach by James Duigan. I'm following it as much as I can and I have to say it definitely works for me. If you want send me a friend request then you can see in my diary what I am eating every day.

Feel free to add me and give me a hard time when I eat too much crap :)

Maybe you should have smaller portions but eat more often to keep your metabolism high? Or just keep going and see how you are getting on. :) I've had an awful day yesterday, did not have enough for breakfast, so I was hungry all day therefore constantly snacking on clementines and almonds during the day and after dinner I…

I personally love Olives so I am happy :)

Thought I might share something from the Lean & Clean Facebook page; Clean & Lean Diet by James Duigan 17 January Finding it hard not to snack then reach for some Olives when the craving comes. They are a great source of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids that help kick fat out your fat cells and into your bloodstream,…

At the moment I am really enjoying it ! What sort of snacks do you eat? I usually eat some raw carrots and some natural yoghurt with a handful of fruit. Require some fresh ideas before I get bored. :)

That's good news for me then :) I usually don't eat carbs in the morning, but I'm hungry if I don't get any at lunch and dinner. For example today I will have 50g of cooked Quinoa with my Chicken Salad and probably something like a Sweet Potato with Chicken and Veg for dinner. My cravings aren't too bad, but it can get…

I was wondering how often can you eat carbs? If I wanted to, could I eat for example Rye Bread in the morning, Quinoa for lunch and Sweet Potato for dinner? I've messaged the Lean & Clean guys on Facebook, but not had a response yet. I have also just ordered myself a heart rate monitor / calorie counter watch, so that I…

At the moment I eat two boiled eggs for breakfast everyday, as its nice and easy. Can I still do this when doing the Detox Phase or the diet in general?

The books have arrived. Looking forward to read them tonight and start the detox phase soon.

I would say take them out the night before, let them defrost in your fridge at home over night. They should be defrosted in the morning. The quality of your lunch / dinner will be much better.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure how much I have to lose. At the moment the scales say 126 lbs and I would like to get down to 110 lbs and then go from there.

It's probably very unrealistic, but I would love to lose 16lbs in approximately 8 weeks, so that's 2 lbs per week :S

I'm really looking forward to start the plan! Hopefully the book will arrive within the next two days :) I've ordered all three books as the reviews were pretty good (Clean & Lean Diet, Clean & Lean Diet Cookbook and Clean & Lean Flat Tummy Fast). Have you lost any weight yet during the detox phase? I'm not getting my…

Okay, I will try to replace my coffee with herbal and fruit tea's and hopefully my body will get used to it. What is your energy level like doing this diet? Can you still do a lot of exercise? Also, are you following his meal plans,or are you just creating your own? Cannot wait to finally receive the book :) x

Can you eat rye bread during the detox phase?

I absolutely love fruit and its definitely my favourite snack, so not sure how I would cope without. Would a handful of fruit ruin the detox phase? But my main worry is the caffeine restrictions. Last time I stopped drinking coffee completely I ended up with terrible headaches. Should I cut it down gradually?

Hi, I have just ordered the books, so hopefully I will be able to start on Monday. Are you still enjoying it? Oh and are you doing the 14 day detox?
