End of Day 4

It is the end of day 4 and I have to say I'm pretty happy with the diet so far. My biggest complaint is I have to pee every 15-20 minutes, but it is safe to say my system has been flushed. Patrick is having a bit harder time adjusting. He's hungry and lacking energy, but he will adjust soon!

Over the fat loading days I gained 1.5 lbs, but as of this morning I had lost 2.2, so really I've lost .8 since the beginning of the diet. Patrick has lost 1 lb total with the gaining with the fat loading.

I am learning to cook without using any fat. So far I've done garlic and herb chicken tenders, some very skinny steaks, and halibut. I'm learning to use more spices and vinegars (mostly apple cider and balsamic) and the best part is Patrick is eating it and seems to enjoy it. Next week I want to tackle making "chicken egg rolls" using cabbage leaves instead of egg roll wrappers. Here is a picture of my dinner tonight. Romaine lettuce, cucumber, couple tomatoes, and my protein, shrimp.

I'll update later this week with our weights (as soon as we get the weight off from the fat loading).
