LET’S DO THIS!
Today is the first day of the losing phase, and boy I'm ready for it. It's lunch time presently and I'm still full from yesterday. I really would like to skip lunch but that is not in the plan. I brought chicken caccitore that I made last night to work today, as well as my strawberry cucumber salad. Both of these recipes are located in our recipe section of this site.
Ultimately, getting through today with two meals won't be a problem at all. Carry over bloating from the weekend seems to have curbed any appetite I would normally have. So far I haven't lost any weight, but I suspect I will see a change tomorrow.
I'm beginning to get more energy after my weekend pig fest. Yay.
I want to share a few things with you.
- Make sure you eat the right amount of food. By now, you should have a digital food scale, so make sure you are measuring your portions.
- Do not move portions from one meal to the next. For example: do not eat 3 ounces at lunch so that you can have 5 ounces at dinner, and vice versa.
- Make sure you are drinking enough water. You should be drinking a minimum of half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. For example: if you weigh 200 pounds, you should be drinking no less than 100 ounces of water.
- Make sure you weigh yourself every morning and keep track of your weight. Being able to see the pounds fall off will serve as a motivation.
- From today forward you are taking 5 drops, three times a day, 7 hours apart.
- No exercise from this day forward, other than light walking. If you have decided to exercise during the program, your results ironically will likely be compromised. For every 100 calories burned exercising add 1/2 to 3/4 oz protein, preferable prior to the exercise if cardio. After exercise if you are breaking down muscle.
