I am going to try to keep this in perspective, but it will be hard. Pam lost 5 lbs and I lost 6 since our weigh ins on Friday. If the only side effect of this was some minor headaches while fasting - which are gone now- I'm thinking this fasting isn't so crazy after all.
It was cold at the coast as it was all over Washington last weekend so we were somewhat limited by that and further limited by my broken foot and Pam's planter fasciitis so we walked a grand total of 4.2 miles on the beach in 3 days. That hour and a half of exercise likely wasn't a factor in the weight loss.
Yesterday the juice fast was broken and we moved on to a breakfast of banana, apple and pear - snacked on some more apple and some carrots on the drive home, had a big salad for lunch, more snacking in the afternoon and a big salad for dinner. So far the great thing about the fast is the change in appetite.
We are having juice for breakfast today. Salad for lunch and a Faux spaghetti made from zucchini that is more or less julienned and a blended tomato sauce.
More soon.....
No coffee either I guess??
ReplyDeleteHow has your appetite changed?
For the record, no coffee, alchohol or dark chocolate. The Big 3!
ReplyDeleteMy appetitie is less and when I eat the smaller amount it seems to satisfy me better and longer. I used to eat a big salad and then be going back for a handful of nuts or something soon after.
what another great adventure. I am also very tired of the processed foods that are out there. I will be interested in the meals that you can create. bravo to you both for taking the full plunge and giving up the big 3's.
