Day #5 of Dr. Siegal’s 28-Day Diet to Determine Metabolic Rate

Day #5 weigh-in: 121.4.  No change from yesterday.  Not too surprised, though, since I didn’t get any exercise at all.  Still, I would have thought there would be at least a tiny weight decrease, since I consumed only 913 calories.

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?.
