Well I went for my initial consultation at the Dr. Bernstein Clinic and got my assessment done and all my diet materials. I did this on Tuesday. The last 2 days I got 2 injections of the vitamin b concoction and did a urine test. Today I came in to drop off my urine sample and they tested it and told me my body is starting to burn already. They also weighed me today. I already dropped 0.4lbs! Not bad considering I ate spaghetti twice yesterday and a big piece of shake 'n' bake chicken! So I'm looking forward to Friday's weigh in since I will have followed the diet for 2 full days! Tuesday and Wednesday I am only to reduce my sugars and carbs. Tuesday didn't go so well for this since I was not prepared grocery wise. However, Wednesday went very well with the exception of me having becel on my 1 piece of toast this morning (had no sugar free jam on hand). Tomorrow (thursday) I start the diet 100% and I'm really looking forward to it.
I thought it would be a lot harder. I do find I'm starving by the end of the day but they told me this would pass. I have an extensive food list and the diet is really easy to follow. I found that it is easier for me to make a meal plan for the week and to follow that plan for the week so I can stay on track.
I go in on Friday to meet the Dr. at the clinic and she will review my health history with me. Poor her - I have quite the extensive history!
By the end of next week I hope I'm down 10 lbs - so wish me luck!
Well, off to eat my last meal of the day. I will check back in a few days with a progress report.
