After one week of the two day food plan (see it beginning last Saturday and featured every day on my blog), I have lost 3.45 pounds. This weight loss is in conjunction with regular exercise. Also I try to follow the diet fairly strictly, meaning I ate the food at the recommended times. I did have dinner at 6 (thats when my family eats) and the last salad happened around 9pm because thats when I'm done with getting all my kids in bed.
I was surprised that I didn't wilt from not eating fruit ( hard for me), or coffee ( I'm really liking tea these days). i feel lots of energy and when I'm busy, I don't feel super hungry at 12 noon and can wait till 2pm to eat lunch. I do wait and have either the Ezekail bread or oatmeal more toward 10 am or I couldn't make it through the morning time because protein shakes really don't make me feel full.
I'm planning on doing the diet for another week, and I'll let you know. I feel like I could really adopt alot of these plans on a full time basis as a skeleton for my eating plans( especially the salad late at night), though I do miss greek yogurt and the fall apples and blueberries. Maybe those can be my periodiacl dessert
