The Diet – Day One

The Releana diet will not be easy.  It will be very difficult. 

Today is actually day 3 of taking the Releana, but day 1 of the restricted diet.  The first 2 days of the diet are “loading days”.  You eat regular foods (including some fats) and take the medicine.  Then on Day 3 (today) the diet begins.

The Diet

Breakfast – either 1 apple, orange, 6 strawberries or 1/2 grapefruit

Lunch – 3 oz of lean protein and 3 1/2 oz of veggies.  No corn, beans, carrots, potatoes, etc. 

Dinner – same as lunch

Snack – 1 additional fruit choice (must be at least 6 hours since the 1st piece of fruit was consumed)

Water – at least 2 liters per day

I can also have 2 diet sodas per day.  I am trying to not have any though.

I have not been hungry at all.  I started using the appetite suppressant today to help with that.  I have lots of energy and no jitters.

Today I feel great. 

I have to weigh myself every morning.  As soon as I wake up (and go to the bathroom) I strip down and get on the scale.

This morning – 177.4

Below I have included a picture I took tonight.  These new Lucky Jeans were an awesome bargain ($14 instead of $115 at Macy’s today).  They are a 30 – Size 10.  Clearly they are a loooooooong way from fitting. They do not even go up over my hips.  I will use these jeans to mark my progress.

The lack of my head is only due to the lack of make-up and lack of fixed hair!  However I made sure to keep the double chin in there!
