I guess you could say that officially, I started my dieting on 5-October. That was when I went to Vitamin Shoppe and picked up that big jar of Isopure. I think the day before, I had also picked up a case of RTD Premium Protein from Sam's Club. Not following a "named" diet such as Atkins or South Beach, my approach is simple: keep total calories under 1800, and carbs under 200. So far, my average has been 1513 per day and I'm down around 10 pounds.
For the most part, it's not too hard. There are times when I'm hungry and there's bad stuff to eat laying around the kitchen; cookies, etc., but so far I've been pretty good overall, except having had alcohol over the weekend.
A typical weekday is consisting of:
6:30 - protein shake
8:30 - hard boiled egg
11:00 - turkey & swiss sandwich
1:00 - hard boiled egg
5:00 - dinner.. varies.
I'm getting my 6-8 glasses of water in with the help of Mio flavoring. I can't say I'm feeling any better at this point, but I do think my shirts are a little less tight around the stomach.
I'm scheduled for a consult with the stomach doctor on 10/30.
