235 lb

I have never really kick started the high protein diet since last post. That was the plan.

 It is so easy to get thrown off with high protein. It started when I was coming down with a cold and started woofing down Cold-Eaze. They make sugarless cough drops but I have not seen sugarless Cold-Eaze.

The Cold-Eaze seemed to ease my oncoming cold, BTW.

As mentioned before, high protein diets are different from other diets. You have to stay on the diet for several days if not several weeks in order to lose weight. Get a little bit off-diet and it can take at least two or three days until ketosis starts anew. Every few days there has been a carb interruption. No weight loss.

I am grateful that I could sustain my weight, however. No ballooning this time.

Stay tuned.

Food Log: Week 2 High Protein Diet

Saturday February 1: Off-diet. Went to Foxwoods and ate the buffet. I don't eat like I used to. Seriously. Time was when I would have filled my plates a half dozen or so times, sampled the soup and salad bar and then started on dessert. This time, I hit the bar-b-q bar, the seafood bar and the desserts.
Earlier in the day I sampled a Japanese cheesecake. It was good but I prefer American cheese cake.


Ate everything off-diet in fridge upon return home.


Sunday February 2: At about 4:30 PM I ate 1.72 oz. swordfish with butter and Mrs. Dash. It was on sale @ 5.99/lb. It was good but not as delicious as usual. Not sure why. Ate approximately ten radishes.


Around midnight I ate a generous serving of corned beef with cabbage and a small amount of carrots.


Monday February 3 : Approximately 1.25 lb. hamburger with Monterey Jack cheese. Small amount of spicy ketchup.


Approximately 1/2 lb ham with small amount of broccoli.


Generous serving of corned beef with cabbage and a small amount of carrots.


Tuesday February 4: Approximately 1.25 lb. hamburger with Monterey Jack cheese. small amount of green hot sauce, minute dose of spicy ketchup.


Approximately 2 oz. whole sunflower seeds.


8 oz. salami and some whole sunflower seeds.

Insomnia

I have experienced intermittent insomnia since starting and restarting X Diet. The night before last (Sunday into Monday) I awoke after about two hours of sleep and tossed and turned for the next few hours I tossed and turned and maybe got another half hour of sleep.


Last night I added 5 HTP (Tryptophan) to my regimen of 6 mg. melatonin and 50 mg. diphenhydramine. I slept much better.

The Return Of Hoodia

Hoodia was the dietary craze of the past decade. It came and went quickly. I liked it. It eased hunger without any noticeable side effects. As we all know diets and supplements can be very trendy. Even good diets and good supplements can fade away without much fanfare.


A few weeks ago I walked into a GNC in search of hoodia. Neither salesperson had eve heard of it. I ended up ordering Hoodia from Beyond A Century.


I took 250 mg. hoodia twice today and it has made all the difference in the world. No food fixation today. Relief at last!


Onward!
