Last week I wrote about my excitement of starting a new weight loss plan with New You meaning I was on a very low-calorie diet for this week.
Initially I was excited, yet skeptical that anything I came across in my life would be that easy in terms of loosing weight.
The fact is this diet plan was super easy in terms of it’s all done for you .. With 4 products per day and a goal of drinking 4 litres of water there is nothing complex, nothing to work out and the products are there and ready to use.
The good news is it does work .. as I lost an amazing 10 lbs this week – Which I have NEVER ever lost so much so quickly.
When you sign up to this plan you have the option of being added into the Facebook support group and I have to say they were amazing … I was so very anxious before starting about my fizzy pop addiction and how I not only would be on this diet plan but also the side effects of detoxing off the pop … the members of the group were an amazing support with some handy tips and words of wisdom.
Living On Plan
The first 2 days on the plan, although hard as I suffered headaches and serious sugar cravings .. but more to do with the fact I was detoxing off fizzy pop I used the support group to keep motivated and stuck with it… there were bouts in the day where I had serious hunger pangs but I worked them off .. I found if I kept busy I didn’t focus on them and they passed.
Day three started well and in fact I no longer felt hungry in the morning and felt really energised and unbloated and it was a lovely feeling but I did have a wobble .. this week I have been working as a cleaner and an hour into my shift I did in fact feel dizzy, sick and sweaty so I sat for a few minutes, drank some more water and managed to finish my shift but on returning home I did still feel rather shaky and unwell so I checked with the website at what food Items I could eat while keeping my body in Ketosis and still not stray off plan altogether and I am happy to report with eating a grilled chicken breast, peppers and spinach before my shift each day for the remainder of the week I never felt unwell again.
Although not ideal to eat anything extra while on plan the fact I was doing a rather rigorous job in hot conditions really did make me need a little bit more. Had it just been my normal day sitting behind a desk I have now doubt I could have done it without adding anything extra and although I lost 10lbs I know if I had not added extra calories with the food I would have lost more.
The Taste
I worried about the tastes of the shakes and food on plan, but the shakes were all ok .. however the mint choice shake was by far my favourite and it’s the one I actually craved too!
The meals were ok too, I did struggle to cook them properly but some handy tips from the folks on the Facebook group were invaluable as they even make some of the their products into recipes and create other foods with them! .. genius.
Conclusion
Overall the New You weight loss plan works .. if you are looking for a very low calorie diet that is a total food replacement this one certainly has lots of things going for it … first and foremost the support that comes with it has been second to none and the Facebook group has been like a fountain of knowledge and so very supportive with members achieving staggering results.
To be honest I am not sure this would be a long-term option for me as I did struggle while cooking for my family, however it has been a great boost to my weight loss mojo and I have no doubt I would go back on plan in the future to keep the scales going in the right direction!

Wow that is an amazing loss … hope it stays off long term because that’s what I’m always worried about with “quick fix” diets. Fantastic results though, well done you xx
wow thats a fab weightloss. I have always been a bit reluctant to try things like this due to the “quick fix” aspect but it is a great way to get started then come off the plan and eat a healthy diet
WOW that is an amazing loss! Great that you are enjoying it, I hope it stays that way and you continue to lose!
10lbs, wow that’s amazing. I wonder how it would continue? I guess it would slow down but just to lose that much in a week is incredible.
Well done! Sounds like just the thing to kick start a diet and give some early encouragement.
Well done you. That is an amazing lost. I often wonder how sustainable a plan like this is, so will be watching!
That’s an incredible weight loss and well done to you for sticking with it, it can’t have been easy!
Well done you for sticking to the plan – it must be really hard, especially when you’re doing physical work.
Well done. I was super impressed with you at BlogCamp – the drinks bottle is a fab idea and drinking enough when out is my biggest downfall so I ought to get one too. I hope it continues to be as good for you.
The mint one had me so surprised at the flavour I really hate shakes normally but that one was actually tasty.
wow weldone on ana amazing weight loss, my husband would be interested in this
Wow, what a great result!
I don’t think this is something that would work for me as I don’t like shakes – but it certainly sounds great for people who do 🙂
That is a brilliant amount of weight to loose – well done!
Well done on the weight loss! I think I would be more inclined to use this as a kick start or boost to a healthy eating plan for a short while, I’m not sure I could do it for a long time.
Sounds great as a quick fix before a holiday or big event – not sure I could sustain it for more than a week though!
Well done you! That’s amazing, so glad you’re enjoying it too! X
OMG 10 pounds in a week!! That’s incredible! Seriously well done lovely xx
