7 days water fasting challenge



Hello family!!
I’ve been getting requests, you guys have been asking me to do a weight loss challenge for a while now and I have honestly been working on one. I was going to try the challenge myself and then share my results, the process and if it worked… guys it didn’t work, if it did anything it made me fatter.. I’m disappointed.
So I’ve decided to try water fasting, not for religious or spiritual reasons but for weight loss purposes.

What is water fasting?

 Water fasting is also known as water cleanse which is basically a set period of time you don’t eat any type of food or chew anything, you just drink water only. 

I’ve seen a lot of experiments on this and how it works, you could lose 1-2kg per day or more from just doing this. 
Turns out our bodies can go days, weeks without food and run on water only but not long term though.

Does this guarantee weight loss?
Yes it does. The mechanism in this is - The period you don’t eat means that your body calories intake is at 0% so your body starts to feed and survive on already stored fat and energy.

What do I need to consider 

Water fasting definitely causes some discomforts like headaches, hunger, disorientation, weakness, rapid tiredness etc. 
  • That’s why there are a couple of things you should not partake it while fasting like running, high intensity cardio exercises, rigorous or stressful activities. 
  • While fasting remember to take at least 9-13 cups of water daily, you can set a reminder to alert you to this action.
  • Prepare your self mentally for this experience, you don’t want to jump into it and retreat hard by consuming a large amount food after.
  • Set out the length of your fast by deciding how long you would like to do the fast for according to your ability. 
  • Do not fast if you are sick. 
What is the challenge exactly?

The challenge is simple, you can start on the 1st of March .. New month, new results. 
We are going to only drink water for 7 days, no food, no juice, no fruits and vegetables, just water. 

If you would like to join or start this challenge, send a picture of yourself on day 1 to my instagram dm @jessicaugbah. 

It’s not an easy challenge so make sure to prepare yourself mentally for this. 

What if I can’t join this challenge ?

There will be more weightloss challenges coming your way this month so you can pick from the list whichever one suits you most.

Do send a message to my email or instagram account if you have any question or suggestions.

Gifts - what to think of when getting the perfect gift.

Image
Hello everyone, as the year is just kicking off holiday seasons are all coming back from Valentine's Day which is the closest one till New Year's Eve. There is Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, and so many other special occasions and the one thing on most people's mind during these holidays or occasions are GIFTS. This post is mainly for those buying the gifts. Some people would say it is the thought that counts, I doubt that works these days. people are expecting actual gifts not thoughts.  Here are some pointers for getting gifts. 1. The occasion : The first think anyone should think of before going ahead to get gift is the occasion. When you know what the program is you can easily pick out what kind of present you want to get.   2. Your budget : you cannot give what you do not have. Think about how much money, energy or time you have to get a gift before getting anything. If you do not have enough money for what they want, you can make it or search for where to get it a

Workout Outfits - it's not a big deal

Image
 It  does not have to be a big deal dressing up to the gym, come on it's the gym. No matter what you decide to wear the point is that you'll sweat all over that outfit so do not take your time preparing for the gym like you're going to the club or to a ball. The rule is - no make up, no heels, no jewelries etc. you wear whatever basic gym clothes you have and jump on that thread mill like no one's watching. Really though, no one cares.  If you're going for a morning jog, personally I sometimes sleep in my sport bra so that I can wake up and just wear a sweat pant and a jacket and run out asap.  If you get confused on what to wear all the time, you can do what I do- that is ; 1. You can google celebrities to checkout what they are wearing (that is not too serious) and buy that. 2. Checkout fitness blogs, they usually have links to where you can purchase good gym wears. 3. Download a bunch of pictures on your phone from google images and change workout outfits accordi
