Today is my VLCD #12, the Diet is proceeding well, this
morning the scale reported a promising loss and I'm now officially into the 61
Kg mark. Being over the 62Kg-s is
motivating for me, although I know slowdowns and brief stalls are part of the
Diet, nobody likes seeing unchanging-weight
when having such a small amount of Calories.
I've to admit, today for lunch I might had way too much chicken, I had hard time to portion
exactly gr on Sunday when I cooked in
advance all my meat. I bought 3 packages of organic chicken breast at the supermarket and I wanted to grill and
portion so I'd have ready for my salads for the whole week and more. I tried to
give estimation on how many portions
I will have with the amount bought, but then – since I removed lots of fat from it – I estimated a slightly
smaller amount of portions. I don't think I was over that much, I'd say rather
than 100gr of chicken breast I had maybe 120gr
or 130gr. Cooked chicken has an
extremely lower weight than the raw one, I have the proofs!
So now it's just after lunch and my stomach feels full, due to the large amount of
spinach I had with the chicken too I guess, I should remind myself to be
careful with my portions if I don't want to waste a week worth of HCG and hard work. I don't believe in
the typical suggestion that lots of people give when dieting: "don't be hard on yourself if you cheat, it's
ok", no it's not ok, I need
to be disciplined, I was a compulsive eater for this reason,
allowing myself to binge and thinking that would be better tomorrow….which never happened. That's the similar
reason why people go to those boot-camp
gym classes, to be yelled in
their ears to push hard on exercise and never stop. We need strong directions
on our weaknesses; well at least this is for me and might not apply to
everyone.
I'm researching to buy some protein powder for my P2 Phase, I know it's not in Dr. Simeons protocol but I believe that if I find a non-fat protein blend I'd
be ok with that. The reason why I want to buy Protein powder is because I know the importance for my body to have
my Protein intake every day. Sometimes I find myself skipping a meal and that
means skipping a Protein serving. The body gets in alarm-mode, hunting for food and it's not
healthy for my metabolism and a healthy food-relationship.
I checked online which could be the best Protein Powder I could buy, and I found
a brand name called Jay Robb, apparently
it's a guy that makes some good tasting Protein powder with 0 Fat
and very low in basically everything. I want to find it today after work, I
might use it just once in a while but I thought it could be a very good habit
even for my HCG P4-life Phase,
learning on how to properly nourish your body is fundamental at the end.
Talking about protein
I read a very interesting article about it, so true that when the body has the
right amount of protein is content, that's why sometime is good
having protein before bed, so you
can sleep better, rather than being on alerting
hunting-mode (explained the strong
nap-desire after meals!).
Another thing I noticed affecting
a lot my weight loss is the amount of water
I have daily. If I don't drink more
than 2L of water, I don't lose
weight, I don't feel right either. When we lose weight we release lots of toxins that are stored in our fat cells, those toxins need to be eliminated from our system, or they will make us sick or with uncomfortable feelings. One
proved way to help this elimination is drinking
water, it helps a good kidney
functioning so the liver (which is
the main organ for the detoxification)
is not busy doing double job!
