At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our […]
Day #25 weigh-in: 119.6, down .6 pound from yesterday, which surprised me. I went over the daily goal by more than 250 calories. I did do an hour of weight training, though. Maybe that helped. Basal temperature this morning: 97.2 degrees. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each […]
Day #22 weigh-in: 120.4, up 1.4 pounds from yesterday. Even though I took a 1/2-hour walk on the beach after the rain, yesterday was a big food day–a splurge. 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% […]
Day #21 weigh-in: 119.0, down .8 pound from yesterday. My daughter, Mary, brought over my spring suit (short-sleeved, short-legged wet suit), so after I took a 1/2-hour jog on the beach, I boogie-boarded in the waves to my heart’s content. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day […]
Day #20 weigh-in: 120.0, down .8 pound from yesterday and 3.4 pounds from Day #1. Basal temp: 96.34. The surf was too cold for swimming, so I spend the morning reading books in the shade on the beach. Heavenly! Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of […]
Day #19 weigh-in: 120.0, down .8 pound from yesterday and 3.4 pounds from Day #1. Basal temp: 96.34. The surf was too cold for swimming, so I spend the morning reading books in the shade on the beach. Heavenly! Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of […]
Day #17 weigh-in: 120.2, once again down .2 pound from the previous day. Exercise yesterday consisted of only a 1/2-mile jog and a couple of laps in the YMCA pool. 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 […]
Day #18 weigh-in: 120.8, up .6 pound. We arrived on vacation yesterday, staying at a beachside condo. I waded in the surf for maybe 45 minutes yesterday, but spent the rest of my time relaxing with my hubby. Took note of my basal temperature today: 96.83 degrees. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close […]
Day #15 weigh-in: 120.4, down .2 pound from yesterday. I attended my daughter, Kelly’s, baby shower yesterday and managed to eat only the healthiest treats at the shower. It’s a good thing I was on this 28-day diet, or I’m not sure I would have been able to resist a bite of the chocolate cheese […]
Day #16 weigh-in: 120.2, once again down .2 pound from the previous day. No exercise yesterday. I’m surprised I lost any weight at all! 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 […]
Day #14 weigh-in: 120.6, own .8 pound from yesterday. Walked 1.1 miles to church yesterday, but rode home with George. 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 […]
Day #13 weigh-in: 121.4. Same as yesterday. 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 […]
Day #12 weigh-in: 121.4. Exercise yesterday consisted of a 1.1-mile jog. I just wonder: How is it possible to gain .4 pound on 1161 calories? I’m beginning to think my metabolic rate is lagging. However, I’m not quite half way through this 28-day diet. I’ll know more by the end. Reminder: Our goal is to […]
Day #11 weigh-in: 121.0, down .2 pound. Yesterday did weight training + the treadmill for warm-up and cool-down + stretching. 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 […]
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 […]
Day #9 weigh-in: 120.6. Same as yesterday, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. When I tested my pH level this morning, both urine and saliva indicated a pH level of 6.6, which falls far short of the ideal reading of 7.4. So, I’ll need to tip the balance of my food intake to […]
Day #8 weigh-in: 120.6. Down just a tad. I walked 2.2 miles yesterday, but completed no other exercise. 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, […]
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. […]
Day #6 weigh-in: 121.4. No change again, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. (I was attending a teacher training in Port Orange.) Man, I hate to think that all my body burns is 1084 calories if I spend a sedentary day! I’m definitely getting some exercise today. Reminder: Our goal is to consume […]
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 […]

Now that the pantry and freezer are stocked for our upcoming 28-day diet, it’s time to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a few other items. Either Wednesday or Thursday I’ll be heading out to purchase: Eggs, free-range grain-fed SoyTein protein powder (vanilla) Apples, small to medium Red Delicious Bananas Green beans […]
I started keeping a calorie count yesterday in preparation for our upcoming 28-Day Diet to determine the body’s metabolic rate. While Dr. Siegal (Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?) allows diet sodas and other non-nutritive diet foods, we are going to take a higher road here on OsteoDiet. We may be cutting back on calories […]
I’m stocking up the freezer and the pantry this week in preparation for the 28-Day Diet to determine my Metabolic Function Index. Next week I’ll be shopping from the deli and the fresh produce section of the store. In his book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?, Dr. Sanford Siegal gives a long list of […]
After reading Dr. Siegal’s book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?, I am ready to be OsteoDiet’s guinea pig in following his 28-Day Diet to determine metabolic rate. It looks simple enough to do, is not time-consuming, and looks healthy enough. I can use OsteoDiet’s 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio as part of my eating plan […]

While I no longer have to worry about my bone strength, I’m once again battling weight gain. Over the past year or so, I have gained about 12 pounds, which has pushed me up a full dress size. I’m still on the alkaline diet, so the gain has really puzzled me. I came across this […]
