50 lbs in 5 mo, Jan
My quest is to lose the weight and keep it off through establishing a lifestyle that includes a weekly detox. I intend to reduce my caloric intake by approximately 25% through a combination of weekly fasting and nutrient dense food.
My first detox (related in the intro) was very successful. I started at 230 and on the 4th morning I was 218 lbs. Then came the hard part, establishing a dietary regimen that would keep my weight down until the next detox in approximately 7 days.
I didn't manage very well in 2 respects:
1 I ate too much bread and not enough fruit
2 I put off the second detox and ended it early
2nd detox: start date, Monday Jan 18 (225 lbs); end date, Jan 20 (220 lbs).
I have to overcome bad habits and a failure to plan. I am especially bad at either declining negative food or eating small amounts. In other words, I never seek out macaroni and cheese but when someone offers it I accept and eat too much. Same is true of hot rolls.
One good thing has come of my efforts: Alva has agreed to detox 1 day per week. It always helps to have a detox buddy.
