This is it: the final week of the "Bekah Try-It Diet." A month ago, as we were planning out the diets to try each week, I came across one called "The Taco Cleanse." I was in until I realized that it was an all-vegan plan. That wasn't going to work for me, until Wally suggested a genius tweak... We decided to combine that idea with the infamous "Drive-thru Diet" from a few years ago, where a woman lost…
Week #3 of the "Bekah Try-It Diet" is in the books! Before I give a full report on the diet itself, I want to take a moment to be transparent about the true hardest part of this week. Reason to Quit On Easter Sunday, my husband Joey ended up back in the hospital. For those who don't know, this has been a large portion of our lives for the past year, and it doesn't seem to be ending any time…
After Producer Zach found out that he was a type 2 diabetic, he decided to take matters into his own hands in an attempt to reverse his disease. Over the course of 9 months, he lost an impressive 80 pounds! He might kill me for using this picture. His plan obviously worked, so for week #3 of the "Bekah Try-it Diet," I decided to give it a shot. Taking the Thought Out of Dieting The…
I am thrilled to say that I've officially reached the halfway mark of the "Bekah Try-It Diet!" I've stuck to it with no minimal complaints, and I'm genuinely feeling better because of it. At the beginning of my Paleo diet for week #2, I had no idea that I'd be in such good company! When I wrote about my plans for eating paleo for a week, I was flooded with the best recipes and tips from those brave…
The first time a friend told me she had gotten a "paleo cronut," I thought she was learning Italian. Flash forward a few years, and it feels like half of my Instagram is filled with "Try this Paleo recipe!" and "I did Whole30, and it felt great!" If you're like me, it probably all makes your head spin. Before now, I had no idea what any of those words meant. Even though I was happy…
Week 1 of the "Bekah Try-It Diet" is officially coming to a close, and good news: I survived it! The first 3 days were an honest struggle as I soldiered on in the "Flat Belly Diet." I was starting to regret this entire process, and I had to motivate myself to finish the "sassy water"* that the beginning of the food plan required. *Sassy water is water infused with lemon, cucumber, ginger, and mint. It's meant to…
Ugh. Dieting. Am I right? It comes with so many tough questions. What's the best diet? What's the easiest diet? How do I stay motivated in a world where cheeseburgers and ice cream exist? Well, this month, I'm setting out to try to answer some of those questions. Introducing the "Bekah Try-It Diet" In the name of science entertainment, I'll be testing out a different "fad" diet every week for the entire month of April. I'll…
