Yesterday was a success. I didn't cheat!...nor did I have any sugar cravings.....HOWEVER, I was a bit hungry about 1 hour 1/2 after lunch. I am used to eating a lot more and more often. I usually snack A LOT between meals. Bad snacks usually (chocolate, chips, you name it). So I'm hoping that my body will get used to the amount of food I'm eating. I will probably increase my protein intake which is allowed just as long as it doesn't increase my sugar and carb intake.
I woke up this morning, released my overnight liquids and stepped on the scale. I'm using a body analysis scale, which calculates weight, body fat, water, and muscle mass. I think I should give exact percentages instead of rounding down and rounding up as I did in my last post so that you can see the shift.
Day 2 Numbers (morning)
Weight: 126.8
Body Fat: 24.9 %
Water: 54.7 %
Muscle: 36.8 %
I lost about a pound yesterday. My exact number of body fat yesterday was 25.1% and today it's lower. Water is about the same. My muscle mass increased! The only physical activity I did yesterday was an hour Pilates Mat class that I gave myself. (Low impact and no sweating involved :). ) Other than that, I relaxed and enjoyed my day off.
So far so good. If this type of diet is of interest to you or if you want more information about a high protein/fat and low sugar/carb diet, I encourage you to watch Fat Head. You can view it on Netflix. It's a very interesting documentary. I watched it last night.
I leave you with a quote from the book:
"Without lowering insulin levels, it's impossible to lose weight, regardless of calorie intake or exercise intensity." - Jorge Cruise
