I did a 10 day sugar detox right before Christmas, cut out all artificial/refined sugar, only had it from natural sources like fruit. I didn't get to weigh myself unfortunately, as I managed to bring a cold with me back from Ireland, so I spent the entire 10 days sick at home, and only have access to a scale at the gym.
But despite no workouts for the 10 days, I still managed to lose something, I was definitely looking slimmer around the waist, might've dropped a kilo or so, and that's just from 10 days off sugar. Getting in to a regular program the has a bit of weight training as well as age-appropriate levels of cardio should get things going in a favourable direction.
