By now, it’s very well-known that I am a huge health and fitness advocate. I work out regularly and try to eat clean. That being said, I am also a huge foodie and an occasional emotional eater, so my weight fluctuates drastically. I was in amazing shape before starting Chicpeajc. I was even following a mostly vegetarian diet, but when I needed to start writing about food, I basically went crazy. A few months later, I was up 10-15 lbs, which is a lot for my small frame.

To be honest, I was OK with myself and happy with my body regardless of the weight gain (which was an amazing thing). A few months ago, I decided to get back to myself so I can fit into all my old fabulous outfits.  I wanted to be the best version of myself, but… food. How do I get rid of all the cravings? The gym is a non-issue for me, but food… oh, how I love thee.

In comes the Busy Bee Organics “Bee-Tox.” I am a huge fan of Busy Bee, and I order food from them almost on a weekly basis! It’s a life saver for those of us who are too busy to cook but still want to eat healthy, yummy, and clean. When Busy Bee released the Bee-Tox, a 3/5 day cleanse meal plan, I was first in line. I knew it would be the perfect way to get me back to my clean eating ways.

I did the first Bee-Tox a week before my big event, Chicpeajc Turns 2, and lost 5 lbs. I felt amazing and I looked great for the event.

During the Bee-Tox, I noticed some of my eating patterns and it made me realize how much I eat when I am stressed, bored, tired, happy, etc. The Bee-Tox essentially helped me change my eating behavior. Now when I feel stress and try to reach for food, I simply ask myself, “Are you really hungry?” If the answer is yes, I eat. If the answer is no, I figure out another way to calm myself without using food. It was life-changing. I know actually listen to my body cues.

About a month ago, I decided to do another one, as I felt like my eating habits were slipping. I’ve been so busy with summer events and new projects that I ate whatever was the most convenient. In most cases, it was pizza because… well, pizza.

I lost another five lbs, and I am now in probably the best shape I’ve been in almost a decade. I fit into clothes I wore when I was nineteen. No joke, I wore a dress on my 33rd birthday that I bought for my 20th birthday.

The food you get on the Bee-Tox is delicious! I really enjoyed everything, to be honest. I ate every three hours and didn’t have to worry about packing a lunch or ordering food. It was the easiest five days. Since I work out a lot, I had to add a little more protein to the meal plan, so I wouldn’t be hungry.

The next Bee-Tox starts August 22nd, so get your orders in ASAP! I will be doing another one, as well! Let’s motivate each other to be the best versions of ourselves.
