Day #7 of Dr. Siegal’s 28-Day Diet to Determine Metabolic Rate

Day #7 weigh-in: 120.8. Now we’re getting somewhere!  I walked two miles yesterday and bellydanced for 1-1/4 hours.  Apparently, exercise did the trick.

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?.
