And we're off...Yesterday I ate the chicken-apple salad for lunch and buffalo chili for dinner. So today I had the buffalo chili for lunch and tonight is the chicken satay with cucumber salad. Yummmm.... I also drank my homemade kombucha and so far so good. I ended up losing 5 pounds yesterday. Kombucha does not seem to hinder my weight loss at all. If anything it seems to have helped it along. I don't recall ever losing 5 pounds in a day. I will report back tomorrow night and keep you updated to see if the trend continues.
Gerard created a wonderful little breakfast for himself with the egg white he eats instead of the grapefruit. He cooked the egg white on his non-stick pan, then put it on a melba toast and topped it with 2 teaspoons of salsa. He said it really hit the spot. I may have to try that someday.
In terms of side effects, I had a little bit of a headache yesterday and then it returned again today around 3 or 4pm. Gerard said he had the same. He also felt a little light headed. I remember having a headache in the first few days the very first time I did this diet. It's not a big deal. I just took a couple ibuprofen and it went away. I remember that at around 4th day my body adjusted and these little headaches and dizziness went away. My husband thinks it is the sugar and gluton leaving your system. He may be on to something.
The diet is already working its wonders. For our first weigh-in we were both both down. As I mentioned earlier, I lost 5 pound's and Gerard lost 2. I can't tell you how tickled I am that Gerard is actually doing this diet with me. It is a new experience having him eating the same thing that I do and I like it.
