It's been almost 2
weeks that I'm officially under Dr. Bernstein Diet Program Plan; so far I
lost 6 pounds based on their chart.
Although I'm following strictly their Diet plan, losing weight never been so
difficult for me, I'm starving myself every day with only 500/600 Calories and still nothing that I'd define as remarkable
results. But I don't give up and I'll continue to follow the Program until I
reach my weight goal.
Yesterday I had my first appointment with a Dr. Bernstein's
doctor, it was just a 10 minutes visit to see if I had any question or concerns
regarding my Diet; I really did not have anything to ask or say to the doctor,
apart for my discouraging slow weight loss. He suggested me to remove tomatoes
from my diet for at least 2 weeks
and see how it goes. It is unbelievable to me how 230g per day of such a light fruit plant can stop me to lose
weight. Also removing tomatoes from my diet leave me basically with very little
choice of vegetables that I do like or enjoy eating. Hey but when you're in
this plan you would do anything to
reach your goal weight!
Last night I had a rough night, I believe my spinach were
not cooked properly and my stomach did not like it at all so I spent all night
in pain and I'm still very dizzy and weak. With this Diet the amount of daily energy is very limited, can happen anything
to put you down immediately, well at least that is what happens to me and my
tiny body, but I'm not sure is based on the size of the body though. I
mentioned the issue to the nurse this morning, when I went to the clinic for my
usual weigh in and injection. She suggested me to have 2 servings of apple today as fruit, but I have only 1 apple with me
today and ¼ of a cantaloupe, but I'll try to have a soup tonight for dinner, to
help my stomach feeling better.
My today's weigh in was disappointing, 3 times in a row that I'm on stable 131 pounds, WTH! To be honest I
don't care that much how much their scale displays, I see it at home, and I see
it with my clothes. I still have fat to lose and it seems harder and harder
when you arrive close to your goal.
Yesterday I tried on one of my old pants, hoping to realize
that at the end it fits! Well no, it
did not fit; I could not even close the zip or the buttons. That's ok; it's
been only 2 weeks with a slow pace weight
loss so I couldn't expect the miracle pants.
With the Ketostix
that I bought the other day at the pharmacy I'm checking often my ketones, I've
constantly only trace of it, which is the first coloured mark, very bright. I
guess it is correlated to the fact that at the end my weight is not changing
anyway so there is not that much to show on the Ketostix. Hopefully I'm out of my plateau and I will continue to lose a bit more in the next days.
