Suppose to be on a VLCD but the last 3 weeks it was more of a ALCD (Almost Very Low Calorie Diet). I was stuck on 186 lb for almost 3 week and was completely frustrated as i was still way net negative on calories during my ALCD (800-1000) period. More importantly morning mg/dl stayed under 100 except for only one day where it hit 110 after completely falling off the wagon with a 2000+ calorie dinner the night before. This is the last day of week 7 of my 8 week diet. Don't think I will reach my goal of 172 by the end as Easter is just ahead. Going to take a month off dieting then start again for a shorter period with a goal of 165. After reaching 165 my hope is to maintain a weight in the 170 range for the rest of the year. As of today, I am officially considered non-Obese according to the national BMI scale. (88 mg/dl this morning)

Suspect I hit a low potassium/sodium wall yesterday. I new something was up as I woke up with a slight headache and ear ringing later in the morning. Took in a cup of broth but by Noon lightheartedness and dizziness set in. A little internet research I was off to Target during lunch to get some potassium gluconate due to this artical: http://www.lindora.com/faq/i-often-feel-dizzy-when-dieting-what-could-cause-this/. Learned something new and back to normal today.

Theory on what caused this situation: Back-to-back days of vigorous cardio exercise. Basketball and jogging. No more back-to-back days of cardio for me and also going to start taking my real, non-gummy and smelly men's multi-vitamin daily. 93 mg/dl

Optifast 800 Shake Mix ingredients.

Fasting: 91 mg/dl Weight: 185

Last week did not go very well with a few days above 1000 calories causing and gained a few pounds. Starting week 5 and have to try harder and though I was off to a good start yesterday turning down hot fresh pizza when arriving at home. Around 10 PM I had consumed about 600 calories for the day then I turned the corner in the kitchen to find a fresh bag of tortilla chip and it went down hill quickly. Avocado, quesso & chips did me in. The sad part is I was not even hungry. Well off to a good start today again.
