Day #10 weigh-in: 121.2. Up .6 of a pound from yesterday. I actually gained weight on only about 1100 calories! Well, I didn’t get any exercise yesterday, but it still seems strange to gain weight on such a modest amount of food. I will definitely make it a point to exercise today!
Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a measure of our metabolic rate, using the tables in Dr. Sanford Siegal’s book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?.
