forgot to mention - i'm down 6 pounds after 1 week. (nearly all water weight from yanking out carbs - but i'll take it) i'm sure the rate of weight loss will slow considerably now. just hoping to keep things moving along at a decent clip b/c this shit's hard.

yesterday's totals:

803 calories
14 g fat
23 g carbs
136 g protein




Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

and 6 of the 14 grams came from fish oil caps.

the whole thing is damn extreme but it's also short term.
the longest i can/should stay on it is 6 weeks. i'll make it.

i had dreams about cherry turnovers last night. weird. i don't particularly like turnovers.

gnocchi is pasta made from potato. it's yummy. i'm not a fan of alfredo sauce myself. too "rich". marina with freshly grated parm is the best in my book.

ohwow. food porn. must stop.

food is really at its best before you eat it.

reality is usually not as good as i imagined it would be. my meal was a little disappointing. i took the advice of some coworkers who were raving about this little restaurant. it wasn't all that. i had my risotto and it was fine but not that big a deal. i should have kept my money and had lots of cheerios instead. me likey cheerios.

it's nice to wake up and not be starving so that part's cool.

lyle's program calls for 1 cheat meal AND 1 mini-refeed a week. i swore i wouldn't mess with it but they still seem to come around too soon. i'm considering having one or the other every 5th day. 4 days of sticking to my 800 calorie protein/veggie/fish oil regimine and then day 5 either a cheat meal or mini-refeed (alternating between the two). that stretches them out a bit but not too much....haven't decided for sure but i think that would be a good adjustment.

I hate the hype...to be let down....
maybe your expetations were too high?

I"ve been dragging...Ive had to find sources of sugar / caffeine to stay awake..so health shot out the door some time ago...

The rest of my food should be ok...

the food wasn't bad or anything. it was just very average. in my opinion...los angeles isn't a great city for Italian food. (or at least not the Italian food i like and am used to)

hope your energy improves. it's amazing how i manage to totally abuse caffeine and not be a coffee drinker.

who me? diet coke with breakfast? that would be bad....

all's well. hitting the gym tonight. full body twice a week seems lame...but i know it's b/c calories are crazy low and i'm determined to follow the plan as lyle wrote it instead of fiddling with it too soon.

secret confession: i wish i could do this on 800 calories a day of ANY food. then it'd be pretty damn easy. i don't like veggies. i don't like chicken. i don't like tuna. maybe i can get away with drinking chocolate carb countdown milk to the tune of 800 calories a day. kidding of course - but it wouldn't suck.

ah yes.... pb&j

but in real life here are the day's totals:
839 calories
21 g fat
26 g carb
135 g protein

a tad higher but not going to worry about it since the adjustments i've made make me like my meals more so i'll stick with it.
