Total Lost 24.2 lbs
Boy, I guess .4 lbs is my number. It seems to be the one that shows up the most often. I frequently think that .5 is actually my number. The reason I say that is because my scale is digital and only reads in .2 increments. Frequently when its a .4 loss, the scale is jumping back and forth between a .4 and a .6 so I think that its actually a .5 loss. Does that sound like I'm justifying every 10th of a pound that I can get?
The last couple of days I've really focused on trying to keep the sodium down. I've stopped adding salt to my meals. The only sodium that I'm getting now is usually from salsa. I'm still consuming a ton of cabbage. It's really the only vegetable on the diet that I actually enjoy eating. I'm really surprised I haven't gotten sick of it yet. My typical meal is now cooked cabbage with salsa mixed in and some sort of meat whether its steak, ground beef, chicken or fish. I eat less of the fish than anything else. Not because I don't like fish. I love white fish. The reason I don't eat it more often is because 100g of fish seems like soooo little. I get so much more satisfaction out of the beef and chicken. When I'm done eating 100g of fish, it seems like I barely got anything. Kinda sucks really because I do like it and I have a ton of it in the freezer. I occasionally put a green salad in there. Green salads are just ok. The only dressing option is a home made vinegarette which really isn't that good. If you are venturing on this diet you're gonna notice some real common staples especially if you use the T Skye cookbook. Those staples are apple cider vinegar, garlic, cabbage, water (of course), lemon juice and tons of seasonings.

Yeah, I TOTALLY understand what you say when you have your staples in a diet like this. I'm noticing that mine are beef, chicken and veal (for the first week). I also ate nothing but cooked spinach, apples and oranges with those meals.
Now for my second week I've added lean ground beef, shrimp and fish (will have the fish for the first time tomorrow) as well as strawberries. I'm testing out one at a time to see how it affects my weight loss.
I stalled my sixth day and was like "WTF!!!" I was reading a bit and saw how people were leaving our fruit. So for this week, my second week, I'm cutting out the sweet oranges I have and I think I've hit this epiphany moment where I figured out what was affecting me. Those damn oranges were slowing my loss by like half a pound. Without them, I'm averaging over 1lb losses.
I admit, I use a lot of sea salt (I've always loved salt and even eat it alone when I crave salt)...I know, I'm weird. But so far, that hasn't been the limiting factor. It is the sugar for me. I think we all learn what our body can take and what it can't when we do this journey. Congrats so far on your weight loss....you can totally tell in your videos and I can't wait to get to your point in progress...you're like over ten days ahead of me as well as ten pounds. I'm catchin' up though! Good luck!!! -Angie (auriga321 on youtube)
