I went to the doctor on 2/20/12. She now offers weight loss assistance with the help of a nurse practitioner who manages supplements. She ran a few test and found out three troubling things:
1. My BMR is around 1300. For my age and weight, it should be closer to 1700.
2. I was dehydrated, even though I drink 100 oz. of water a day.
3. I am 50% fat.
I couldn't believe it. I am so glad that I went to the doctor. I have struggled for a year to lose any weight
I'm starting my VLCD today. So far, I'm not too hungry. Just a little "woogly" as I used to say when I was little. A little bit nauseous, a little bit hungry, a little bit weak. Nothing major. It sort of feels like when I was newly pregnant. Let's see how today goes!
