上次谈到我的减肥秘密武器以后,众人反应热烈, 可见减肥是人人关心的话题。但是上次的文章主要是介绍了ACAI BERRY巴西黑莓的种种成分, 但是对我自己在吃的过程没有详细介绍,所以我今天补充一些情况。
其实我在生了2个小孩以后身材都一直很好, 但是和老麦结婚以后就开始逐渐发胖了。特别是去年夏天从弗吉尼亚海滩回来我看到自己的泳装照, 简直是惨不忍睹阿。 我真的不甘心下半辈子就这样继续下去了,决心开始减肥。
但是搞体育运动我意志薄弱, 而且运动能让你肌肉结实, 但是并不一定就减肥 ,因为运动以后很多人会吃得更多。二当然是靠饮食了,吃得健康我可以坚持,但是靠饿瘦我也受不了, 因为饿的滋味实在是太可怕了, 我宁可长肥。所以我开始把目光投向减肥药,在听说很多关于减肥药的可怕故事以后我也非常谨慎。我甚至向一个卖减肥药的朋友打听。结果她反而告诉我说别吃那玩意儿,因为很多号称纯天然草药的其实都加了西药成分, 主要是控制你的食欲, 其实是慢慢把你饿瘦。这样的减肥当然对身体有害, 而且一旦停药就反弹。市场上很多所谓有效的减肥药都属于这一类。 第二种主要是靠泻, 危害更大,减的主要是水份, 一停药就反谈。听她这么一说我不敢试了。
这时候我听说了巴西黑莓,其实媒体上更多底把它当作抗老化的健康食品来宣传。我决定试一下 ,因为就算不减肥,里面富含的各种健康成分也是对我有益无害的。我开始的时候经常忘记按时吃,有时过了中午才吃弄得晚上睡不着觉。开始的2个月的确没有明显的效果。 后来从维也纳回来我又长了3磅, 我开始老老实实地按时服药了。3个月以后我开始看见效果了, 尽管体重反复, 总的趋势是在减, 而且最重要的是腹部腰部脂肪最多的部位变小了。到目前为止,我服用4个月以后只减了6磅, 但是腰围减了5公分以上, 现在居然可以穿10年前的裤子泳装,别提有多开心了。总的说来就是巴西黑莓能提高我的新陈代谢, 达到减肥的效果。
就大家关心的几方面我再说一下
睡眠:如果太晚服用, 有时晚上会睡不好。 但是近期感觉反而是提高了睡眠质量, 第二天一大早就醒来, 精力充沛,感觉很好。
胃口:完全正常, 仍然好吃! 但是比较奇怪的时吃到一定的程度就会有饱感, 不愿意再吃了。而且不像以前那样容易饿。因为有了饱感,所以完全没有挨饿的痛苦感。
精力:这个感觉非常明显, 每天好像使不完的劲, 和前段时间的懒洋洋形成鲜明的对照。同时心情也跟着好了很多。
其他好像没有任何不适的反应。
另外就是我自己体会一些可能会影响药效的因素
按时服药非常重要, 保持它的连续性。 老麦就是三天打鱼两天晒网2网天晒, 所以现在效果还不明显。
清肠:其实我2年前就开始服用我的韩国针灸师推荐的清肠剂, 但是那个药很猛, 最多只能一周一次,我都是一个月一次。看了美国网上的评论,说同时服用清肠剂效果会更好, 所以我上周开始服用同品牌的清肠剂。这种清肠剂温和很多, 适合每日服用。
大量喝水或者果汁。
选择更健康的食品, 不然你一边大吃垃圾食品, 一边在减肥 ,效果肯定不好。但是不要饿自己, 想吃就吃。
总之, 不应该把巴西黑莓看成一种马上见效的减肥药, 而应该把它当成是一种健康食品, 长期服用,对自己的身体是非常有益的。
希望大家都有很好的效果, 3个月后希望听到大家的反馈。
附上一些英文的原文供大家参考。
