Thanks, Yeah that's exactly my plan - drop the excess with the vlcd- then straight back to the healthy eating I'm following now and increase the fitness.
I recommend KB's, I was sceptical about them at first- 1200 calories burned an hour (or 400 for 20 mins) 1 hour would literally put me in an ambulance lol but OMG what a workout! not only are they increasing my strength but I have repaired the separation in my tummy muscles from pregnancy, it's almost completely closed now.
My core muscles have improved lots, I can feel the muscles getting tighter and it's done wonders for a back problem I've had for 17 years.
Too much info coming :) but I need to inform the ladies - - my pelvic floor has improved by around 80% (at the moment) after naturally giving birth to 3 huge DC- I never really got "it" back to normal or even close down there and was considering using Kegal balls (even considered designer vagina surgery lol) but now I have NO need thanks to the KB's.
That's on top of tightening me up in the area's they are designed for- bum, thighs, arms, abs, full body really.
It's best to go to a class to be taught how to use them properly and with the correct weights but you can teach yourself as I done, just make sure the weight is enough, as women tend to go for the light ones which don't work and don't give good fast results, they are too light. I started with 8KG which was probably a little heavy for beginner so the next weight down would be perfect.
Sorry for rambling......
Paleo - I shouldn't have called them diets as they're not really, more a healthy way of life but you do lose weight on them.
Its about eating as our ancestors did, nothing processed, no additives, all natural fresh foods that are easy to prepare and easy to cook. Google it there's a lot of info out there about it with variations too, you don't have to follow it 100% to see results. It can help to improve/get rid of acne, stomach/digestive problems, diabetes, PCOS, some fertility issues, the list is endless. Good thing for me was seeing the effect removing certain foods from my diet had on my health, especially the likes of white flour, bread and some cereals. If I eat it now I look like I have gained 7lbs on my tummy within a few hours :( so I try and stay well away from it. It's horrible when you feel so bloated that you could "POP" but you know you haven't eaten much to feel that way. Paleo really educated me in what was/could be to blame for that.
