D-4 VLCD 1 -2.4

ok, so my title means, Day Four, Very Low Calorie Diet day 1.

Got up, went to the bathroom (make sure you move around or what ever you need to do to go to the bathroom) then weighed on the digital scale (naked of course).

Day 1- down 2.4 pounds. I can hardly believe it. Doesnt seem possible.

Meals were esentially the same as yesterday, I found Worchestershire Sauce is 0 calorie so added that to my dressing. Same meat and lots of Salad greens. I'm growing Lettuce and Bok Choy in my garden so Im eatin that and mixing them together in my salads.

Head ache really setting in today. It makes me feel miserable. My stomach is growling, which makes me think I must be famished but I'm really not that hungry. Interesting.
The headache could be from not loading properly or lack of water or both... or, some say its because the Homeopathic drops don't have enough Hcg coursing through my body. Its the HCG thats supposed to make you not feel hunger although different people report that differently.

I ended the day with a big swig from a 2 litre bottle of A&W Diet Root Beer. It tasted good, the carbonation had a satisfying bite, its all I needed for a big smile and satisfaction.

A note about diet soda or other diet sweetened bevs... Simeon recommended Saccarin as a sweetener back in the late 50's. He didnt see any problem with, nor did his diet plan suffer from, the artificial sweeteners. I will not debate whether or not aritificial sweeteners are good or bad, for now and for the purpose of this program, it doesnt matter to me. If you hate artificial sweeteners then don't use them! If you don't, then logic reasons that a diet coke or diet root beer is no different than Simeon suggesting you sweeten lemon water or tea or coffee with saccarin. But, there are lots of different oppinions about this, but the only one that matters is whether or not you can have them and still lose weight. And I say "Pooh!" (I know, harsh stuff) on anyone who's fall back argument is that "well, you could have lost more if you avoided it!"

The main idea is losing weight, it is HEALHY to lose weight, you should be applauded for losing weight! So if you want to be negative about how much somebody lost or if the do it differently than you, just keep it to yourself, your negative comments are not welcome anywhere that poeple are trying an succeeding at any level to get healthier by losing the excess weight.

Sweetener: I am using Stevia and Erythritol, splenda when I am out at and not at home.
