17 Day Diet Cycle 1 Day 1

Weight - 142.0

Here I am again.  Above 140.  Couldn't tell you what my drop was from the steak day, but I'm still feeling very puffy.  I've had two days of very early mornings with some of the carpet getting done in the basement.  I'm sure that's part of why my weight it still up.

I'm trying a big of an experiment for a few days.  I'm going to start Cycle 1 of the 17 Day Diet by Dr Mike Moreno.  Honestly the Cycle 1 food list reads like HCG phase 2 with a broader vegetable and fruit list.  It's also not calorie controlled.  If I can get a bit of a drop from these type days, it will be a tool in my maintenance arsenal.

So.. a bit of info on the daily menu for Cycle 1.  As much as you want of specific proteins and cleansing vegetables.  Supplement these foods with 2 low sugar fruits daily (eaten before 2pm); 2 servings of probiotic foods;  and 1 to 2 tablespoons of friendly fat.  There's not really calorie tracking, etc, but I'm doing so for my mentality.. LoL
