october 28, 2009 - 240.4 lbs

Down 0.6 lbs. 10.0 pounds and 6 days since my max weight. Did drink a couple cups of coffee (caffeinated), so that could account for losing less. Also went to a larger tomatoe and a third grisini since calories-wise I have enough room with chicken as the meat, and since I think my brand of grisini is smaller than normal. If my weight loss doesn't return, I will cut back again.

Down 1.4 lbs and wow yesterday was a hard day hunger-wise. I had a coffee and 2 diet soda's and kept telling myself, hungry days are big loss days if I can just hold on. Today is a completely different story. I am just fine. Maybe was related to working hard this past weekend on the barn. Down 9.4 lbs from my peak after 1 week and the first three days were porking out!!

Bit hungry this morning though. Drank a coffee and diet soda pop.

october 25, 2009 - 243.6 lbs

Down another 2.6 pounds. This diet is amazing!

I will likely settle to a more normal 1 to 2 pounds per day based on last time today or tomorrow.

Had hunger, but that was due the rebound from eating a huge meal late on the last day of loading. Hunger ought to be more normal starting today.

I am doing a lot of physical labor right now (pre-diet) and that may mess with my hunger and energy, as you are to stay where you are at in working out, or your body has a week to two adjustment that makes it more difficult.

After first day of VLCD, I am down 3 pounds from yesterday.

Ate chicken, tomato and apple both meals. I actually prepared chicken and bought tomatoes for 4 days worth of meals. This is going to be my default meal, with grisini and water. This is the diet my brother Nolan used most of the time and it is the one I went to for my last month or two last time. The consistency made a big difference in amount I lost and how hungry I was.

I will use other allowed items to keep me from cheating; like having a cup of coffee or switching to shrimp for a meal, etc.

I was down a little on energy compared to the three days prior. To be expected as my body anticipates 450 calories from food and adjusts to giving me the rest from stored fat. Today should be better and tomorrow to the new normal (takes 2 to 3 days to adjust for caloric intake verses what the body will provide this is why cheating affects you 2 to 3 days down the road weight and cravings wise).

Yesterday was last day of loading and I ate maybe triple and lost 1.2 lbs?? Not sure how that is possible. Probably drinking enough water made me release water weight.

First day of the diet today.

Day three of loading. I am sick of eating. Have extra energy today though.


Diet starts tomorrow.

october 19, 2009 - and it begins again

My friend Matt and I are starting the diet and we mixed up new batches tonight and took our first dose.

Nice that the hCG from the new place comes in a bottle that you don't have to break and so you don't need that mixing bottle at all.

I am planning to take pro-biotics the entire time to help get rid of the yeast overgrowth in my body. I'd suggest anyone/everyone do the same. This will help during and after too! Take a ton of it!

This time I will exercise during or at the end of the weight loss. I will get into a healthy habit and eat healthier and with the yeast under control, I am sure it will stay better.

Even though I am within 10 pounds of my weight last time, I don't look like it. I still look much healthier and more proportionate.
