Did my second weekly weigh in today and I’m down to 33 stone 6 pounds which means I’ve lost 10 pounds this week and 1 stone 13 pounds since I started my VLCD on 10th January, with a start weight of 35 stone 5 pounds .
The rate of weight loss will reduce now, I’m hoping for 4-5 pounds per week which would be one stone every 3-4 weeks.
I’m going to start taking waist measurements too but I couldn’t find our tape measure so I’ll order a new one.
The unpleasant side effect of the diet is ketones give you bad breath. Ketones are the chemical compounds released when your body is burning fat. It’s a good sign and I’m trying to minimise it with sugar free chewing gum and mouth wash plus plenty of water.
Tomorrow I’m going to write more about the diet, how it works, why you shouldn’t do it unless you’re crazy and why I’m doing it anyway.
