March 13, 2010 "Day 1 of VLCD"

  • weight 173
I will call this day 1 as the first two days are only prepping for the next 40. VLCD=Very Low Calorie Diet.
  • First thing to weigh myself...2 pounds gained.
  • Take 15 HCG drops 15 minutes before drinking anything.
  • Made a large pot of Yerba Mate tea.
Use 100% pure stevia...just need a pinch within an 1/8 of a teaspoon (wish I had something smaller to measure more accurately as it is easy to use too much)
  • Breakfast: grapefruit
I know it is stated not to eat until lunch but the handouts I received from the other naturopath said to eat the fruit for breakfast as when the body thinks it is starving it will hold onto fat, I know this to be true for me. I didn't use to eat breakfast when I was in my young 20's then I gained 80 extra pounds of weight when I was pregnant with first child, had gestational diabetes (diabetes only when pregnant). I started eating breakfast and lost weight! So, I'm personally trying it this way!
  • Lunch: 3.5oz raw extra lean hamb. using George Foreman Grill, grilled 7 mins. Sliced 2 slices of tomato and wrapped in a iceberg lettuce leaf.
  • Snack: Fuji apple
  • Dinner: 3.5oz Halibut (soaked in Bragg's liquid Amino Acid for 15 mins., grilled 5.5 mins. (next time only 5 mins.). Steamed 10 asparagus spears.
My stomach did growl a little before lunch but it only took water to ease it.
I'll admit it feels strange knowing that you should be eating more but you don't feel hungry.
