I've decided to actually make use of my FatSecret journal starting today!
I think it's important for one to record how they feel throughout their diet-journey (or journey to a new way of life).
I started Atkins last week Monday, the 16th of January.
Day 1 was pretty easy mainly because it was a holiday and I was home from work. I had also cleared my apartment of the 'bad' stuff the previous day.
Day 2 was a killer. But I managed to make it through without cheating. I satisfied my sugar cravings with some SF Jello and whipped cream. Yum!
Day 3 onwards were all good days! I managed to stick to my diet and also work out at my gym (spinning, running, and weights). By Day 5, I had lost 5 lbs and was very motivated. However, I decided not to weigh myself for another 2 weeks after that.
Today is Day 11. Diet is going great, cravings for starchy foods are non-existent. I'm still dealing with the sugar cravings though, fighting back strongly...and winning!
On a not so bright note, I developed a rash on Day 9 (on my back, chest and arms). I did a lot of reading and found that lots of people experience this during the first couple of weeks of Induction...once Ketosis begins. I will see what happens within the next couple of days. It shouldn't be anything too bad though!
