I am now 10st 2lb just under my target weight of 10st 7lb, last week I went from ss with 4 sachets with 200ml skimmed milk (I am 5'6 but I was unable to survive on just 3 and my CDC who is wonderful said 4 was fine with milk apparently the new guidelines say that if you are having less than 600 cals a day your doctor should be informed.) I started on the 1st Feb at 13st 3lb and have lost just over 3 stone.
Last week I moved up to 1000 cals a day and lost 5lb, which pleased me no end as I was slightly nervous of reintroducing carbs. I am also going on holiday this week and I wanted to make sure that my body would be able to cope so I thought I would introduce them last week in preparation. The week before I had moved up to 810.
This Sunday however I had my first ever bad thing....I had been saving a belgique chocolate egg since Easter and I had been planning to eat a bit of it yesterday. Well I sat down, with a cuppa, made sure a decent tv programme was on, lifted the chocolate to my lips, ate it....and well it just didn't taste nice anymore, It used to be my idea of heaven and I appear to have lost my taste for it. I ate a bit more and then was promptly sick and felt queasy. It was not the chocolate it was me.
I have imagined eating that egg for the last 2 weeks.............never thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it, I have always been a chocoholic. I reckon that the other cravings i.e for chip shop chips would result in the same feelings if I succumed to them.
This diet has really educated my taste buds, it seems to have cleared my palette and I am like a newborn again trying tastes for the first time. I am thoroughly enjoying the experience of tasting foods that I took for granted before with an open mind
