I think this VLCD thing isn't going to do any good. First two days, I gained almost two kilos. This morning, 0.3 kg below my weight before VLCD. So, I guess I'm going down, slowly, after all. But it's not about weight why I consider letting this go. I know that going into ketosis doesn't necessarily feel fun, but I didn't know it would be this hard...

I feel too weak to really do anything except the challenge stomach crunches once a day. I feel like vomiting, I've had a headache every day, and today I started also having diarrhea, a bad one. Yesterday was a little easier, but today... Just too much. I should have a 9-hour day at college tomorrow, so I really think about giving up or at least easing my diet a little bit with something healthy to eat. I've had some lettuce, cucumber, apples and grapefruits (they are considered 'negative calorie foods' in some lists) in addition to the shakes and soups, but it's just not enough. I don't know what to do.

What else is new? Went to vote today (our new president for the next six years will be chosen today). It's even colder outside than last time I wrote: the temperature was only -30 degrees centigrade (-22F), when we left for our little voting walk in the morning.

I'm not a big fan of VLCD diets. Too many negative short-term effects and the research doesn't indicate that the weight lost stays off. Of course, this is coming from someone whose idea of cutting calories is 2000-2400 calories a day. I'm losing slowly but the weight has stayed off this time.
