Day 20
Finally, some movement! I am 203 this morning which is 7 days exactly from my last loss. 11.5 lbs. total weight loss in 3 weeks. I think I might go all shakes again today and then on Wednesday have some chicken and broccoli. I guess I am holding out hope that tomorrow will bring a tiny bit more loss. If I step back and look at this I know losing 1.5 to 2 lbs. a week is recommended by all guidelines but I think I expected Optifast to be a faster track and by their own statistics they say it is with an average weight loss of 50 lbs. I am looking likely at half of that.
But I’ve been doing a lean and green variation so who knows if that can change it by half. None the less I am down another two pounds and that is the right direction.
Another benefit has been the correction of my body ph. I’ve been acidic for quit a while and although I was taking ph buffers I could rarely bring myself back to the proper ph. On the diet I am indeed in the correct ph so that may help the weight loss. It certainly helps my body by cutting down on the inflamation. My new nutrition plan, which I have not finalized, needs to address the glycemic index for sure as well as low acidic foods. I wonder if there is a correlation between the two? Sounds like another spreadsheet opportunity! I like to create spreadsheets.
Today is my mahjong day so a good time will be had by all!
