Phase 2, Day #3

I am in Ketosis

So Last night (thursday night), I did another Kitostix test. It was quite a bit darker than the first time meaning I'm further into Ketosis. Means I'm releasing more ketones and burning more fat. I was on the 2nd to last dark box on the scale (pic soon). This is exciting for me. Just more verification that this diet does what it says it does.

Hunger

Still not getting hunger. Cravings for stuff like pizza, burgers, etc.. etc.. that everyone else around me is always eating remains a constant though. I do however recognize what is more important and it hasn't really phased me so far.

Last night I only ate my 75g of chicken. I didn't feel compelled to eat anything beyond that, so I didn't make a salad with it. I was perfectly fine with just that and water.


I didn't mention this before but I had tried pickling some cucumbers. I took 4 total cucumbers, chopped 2 of them into slices and put salt on either side and put them in apple cider vinegar. The other 2 I just put them in how they were. Yeah, that didn't work out well. They are in the trash. It tasted pickley, but lets just say it was a little strong!

Today on day 3, it is currently 2:09pm and I am not hungry at all yet. I have eaten half of my apple so far. I had to force feed that to myself, because starting off the day I no hunger at all, and no desire to eat. Very odd sensation for me because I do love food and eating. This is one thing I hope to get a handle on while on this diet. So far so good. So the 1/2 apple has satisfied me and will probably keep me satisfied through out the day. I plan to eat raw spinich leaves in a salad consisting of my serving of 80g of chicken (80g today, 5g more than the 100g raw cooked down to 75g), half a tomato, and my home made dressing which was left over from yesterday.

Weighing In

So up to this point, I haven't been able to weight myself at the first day(s) of the diet because my current scale doesn't go up to what my weight is. A few months ago in prep for this protocol, i bought a 400lb scale. Well at the time i was 390 pounds. That was in February. Here in June I got to over 400lb. I'm going to estimate I was at about 405lb or 406lb. After 3 days on phase 2, I am now back down to 399.9 lbs. Hot stuff! So just a rough estimate puts me at losing anywhere from 5 to 6 pounds in this last few days.
