As with all things that can't take center stage, the daily posts had to be placed on hold. Life with a family can become quite busy.
On Sunday I checked numbers.
Weight: 213.7
So excited that the careful eating is paying off even within the first week.
For the last several days the total consumption of calories has been hovering around 1200. Never going over that number - but at least it has kept from going under 1000.
The breakfast meal has been high fiber, low to no carb, & some protein.
Lunch has been protein in the form of turkey and cheese with some veggies and fruit
Dinners: I have been increasing my intake of veggies by having a large salad with minimal dressing then adding to the veggies by juicing all the ones I can't/hate consuming via mastication.
Tonight I am making Coconut Shrimp over veggies. I will be frying them in coconut oil instead of the traditional method. This allows for a healthier approach and should negate the whole 'no fried foods' issue.
Update on hubby: The holistic approach appears to be working. The swelling is gone as is the redness. He will be on this regimen for the next 6 weeks, but I believe we have taken care of the issue. We could tell that the Cheyenne was no longer as necessary when it started to effect his bowels. It didn't do anything to him for the first 10 days telling us that his body was using all 1500 mg of it. Since it isn't all being used, he has cut back to 1000 mg of Cheyenne. He is still taking all of the other components though we have increased his Vitamin C intake since backing off of the Cheyenne. One interesting note: His energy levels are very high. Higher than I have seen them in quite awhile. His skin is also looking great, with strong color and glow.
I am going to start taking some of the same things, plus add 1 oz of Coconut oil to my diet. According to lots of info out there it is supposed to increase energy and help with weight loss. Will have to let you know if it works.
