It's been a while, so here's a review of my stats and what I've been doing.
I weigh only once in the mornings, so my weight reflects what i did the day before:
VLCD 16 - 178 - (-.4) Did awalk-a-thon the day before, pretty sore this day. Ate POP (Perfectly On Protocol)
VLCD 17 - 177.6 - (-.4) Still a bit sore, ate POP.
VLCD 18 - 177.4 - (-.2) Expected more than this. Have been eating 3.5 oz. steak for one of my meals for a couple of days because Costco no longer carries
I didn't post the results of my second Fat Fast day. So here goes: I was down .8 lbs yesterday morning. That's decent, but I decided that I would not continue with it, that what works best for me is sticking on protocol, no choco D, no lemon truffles, no fat fast days.
Woke up this a.m. to a 1.4 lb. release after getting back to normal VLCD yesterday, so I'm very happy. The 2 losses put me firmly in the 170s which also makes me happy.
Really chill and damp here today
Well, Here's the honest results of my Atkins fat fast day while on hcg.... -.2 lbs. only!
Here's how it went this a.m. I weighed in at 180.2 which was .6 lbs. down only from yesterday. I was disappointed with that and know that usually, I get a different reading from my scale if I run around the house doing a few things and then come back and weigh. (And I'm talking about a time difference of only a few minutes) I did that, came back and weighed and was 180.6! Weighed 2 more times and came
Down .4 lbs. this a.m. So, since I was up .4 lb. yesterday, that essentially means Goose Eggs for 2 days in a row. Well, I'm coming clean here, I'm an impatient dieter. That's probably true of a lot of us on hcg. I don't like to sit around when I'm going nowhere diet-wise. So... I'm trying something a little radical today. I will keep you posted as to how it goes.
I saw a YT vlog about doing the Atkins Fat fast while on hcg. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQssjS-wPKw
Well, up .4 lb. this a.m. It's really not going as well as I'd hoped. Since I couldn't weigh the morning after my second loading day I am guesstimating a 2 lb. gain on that day, making my loading additional weight 6 lbs. That would have started me off at 189.8 lbs. After 10 VLCD days I find myself at 181.2 lbs. That's only a loss of 8.6 lbs. Only 2.6 lbs. lower than when I started loading. Not loving those statistics. My first week should have been better than that. Yesterday was problematic because
