Hello folks!
I elected to write this diary whilst sitting in a room of eating people, during their annoying daily ritual they call 'dinner'. Since I am from a more advanced civilisation, I dont partake in this. My daily nutrition is supplied to me from the galactic overlords, or 'exante' as they are known in my language.
:brainfart:
Swiftly moving on, my name is Lewis and this is the first diet I have ever done! Very pleased to have found this site as I thought I would have to bore those around me with my diet talk, but it looks like you lucky people will be subjected to it instead. I will begin the diary now, if you made it this far you may as well read the rest...
Day One
I began my journey with a vanilla shake. I have sitting in the conservatory a months supply of shakes, cant say the other products appealed to me. Doesent taste too bad! Though my first attempt was a tad on the lumpy side and made with tap water. By lunch time I was getting hunger pangs, my job is quite physically demanding so I was concerned that my morning shake wouldnt sustain me till lunch. Overall it was managable, and I am aware that it will get easier as my body adjusts. This time I prepared my shake with a hand whisk and chilled water, so much nicer. I was pleasantly surprised how much the shakes filled me up, but I definitely had less energy than usual. Another shake for dinner and then an early night, though I didnt sleep very well. I actually awoke to find the moon shining straight on me through the blinds, and wondered if the vast amounts of liquids I'd consumed were creating a tidal pull within me!
Consumed on Day One - 3 shakes, black coffee, peppermint tea, water
Day Two
I woke up feeling slightly groggy from a restless night, my morning coffee quickly remedied this though and I had my shake. Im actually surprised how pleasant black coffee is, before I had always had it with milk and 2 sugars. Day two wasnt so bad, but I was feeling pretty spent by home time. After my evening shake i was actually feeling quite proud, 2 days with no solid food at all! And I had passed the test I was fearing the most, refusing wine when it was offered!
Consumed on Day Two - 3 shakes, black coffee, peppermint tea, water
Day Three
Thankfully I had a good sleep, and began my day well. Soon though I was feeling exhausted, and it wasnt even lunch. I made it through the day but it was the toughest so far. My energy levels were so low and I struggled to find the vigor to complete my work adequately. After doing some reading I felt reassured as this seemed totally normal, and I was very pleased to come across this forum with a wealth of information. If anything I was pleased not to be suffering any other side effects such as headaches. All in all a tough day, but I got through it
Consumed on Day Three - 3 shakes, black coffee, peppermint tea, water
Day Four
That brings me to today. After another good nights sleep my day started well, and I threw myself into my work to make up for yesterdays lethargy. I'm certain the ketosis started today, it was a very interesting experience. The morning was much like day two, but after lunch I had a strange sublime kind of feeling. I suddenly felt very relaxed and peaceful, even though I was exerting myself. This was followed by a surge of energy, and for the rest of the day it felt like my energy was endless. I even ran up and down the ladder a bit because I felt so energetic! I have never done that before...
Consumed on Day Four - 3 shakes, black coffee, peppermint tea, can of coke zero, water, cod liver oil capsule
:bliss:
Thats my journey so far, its been therapeutic to write it all down. It certainly was a welcome distraction whilst the rest of my family tucked into burgers....
I hope it wasnt too boring, till the next time!
