I have embarked on a no-sugar diet* with the objectives of
>] losing approximately 50#,
>] changing the way that I eat to maintain that loss,
>] curing my skin condition.
This is a summary of the various RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS that I have come to after 10 days on this diet plan.
DIET
FITNESS -
HEALTH -
I feel almost guilty "suggesting" it - but i do feel better allready (more energertic, somewhat lighter, less bloated) - and - i think i look somewhat less "puffy". Now this could all be in my head, but sometimes thats half the battle.
What SURPRISED Me the most were 2 things, # 1] was that other then for a few days ( 2/10) I had barely any CRAVINGS and #2] I was not feeling hungry. Now, given my protien portions were on the large side(ie 16 oz steak, large cabbage roll)
[- MORE - details ] on each aspect of my approach follow ...
Damn!, I did really good this period. I realize this is the first days of a new program and everyone starts off good, yada, yada BUT what an excellent start, job well done!
+ RESULTS - weights and measures - after 10 days I am down 8.5# from my starting point on 2016-06-25
This plan was/is more about changing my DIET vs being on an exersize program but exersize is good( ?necessary).
I had a great start with 4/10 days where I "worked out" and ...
I also had 3/10 days where I "exersized".
TOTAL days w/exersize = 7/10 or 70% - impressive, with a 40/30 split on Workouts(W) VS Exersize(E).
NOTE that this "fitness" could be having "as big as" an "effect" on my results as the diet changes are/will have.
It's hard to say, I had some good days and some bad days, the question is how do you measure progess on something like this?
It certainly didn't disappear (CUREd) / Is it any better? I can't say definitively as to wether there was any signs of change on the existing affected areas from the previous 10 day period (] TRY compare earlier photos).
Unfortunately on the 2nd last day of this period I have some NEW hives appearing in a new location, are they the same? I am NOT sure if these are related to the existing or ???
NEED - I need to find a way to accurately/best measure changes in condition
NEED - I need a way to measure/track/monitor symptoms
REMINDER - Some previous "research" says that it takes about 1 month of DIET for each year that you've had said skin condition, so I should expect 2 - 3 months
After just 10 days on this diet plan I feel better already!! There were 2 things the surprised me the most and they were 1] the lack of cravings and 2] the lack of feeling hungry. I worked out and I exersized and overall I did really good this period. The scale says that I am down 8.5# from my starting point on 2016-06-25.
Unfortunately, there has been no noticeable improvement in my skin condition. It is early and ...
Basically, just "reset the counter" and try to do another 10 days on this same strategy. Some MINOR CHANGES for the next 10 days including ...
] REVISION DIET = TRY a new menu plan version - the menu plan will be somewhat/slightly different then the previous weeks but along the same lines
] REVISION DIET = UPDATE menu plan = + MORE/ADD = ] brocoli slaw, ] sushi, ] brocoli salad, ] kale salad kit
] REVISION DIET = ] thoughts on dairy ( yogurt, milk, ), lactose ?
] REVISION DIET ! = implement a "reward system" - something along the lines of 1 week "on track" gets you a DIET treat/cheat ( bag of chips OR bowl of ice cream OR ...), OR a "cheater meal" (fish&chips, burger and fries, ) OR both
] REVISION HEALTH - NEED - some kind of condition monitoring/reporting system to more accurately document changes to skin condition
] CONCERN - teapot hiking incident -
] CONCERN - upcoming vacation period -
[x] REMINDER - At some point your going to give in and your cravings are going to win ( chips, ice cream, bread, potatoes, all of the above) - move on with your transgression(s) and get back on a good diet track
