May 28, 2010 - VLCD Day 5

I had 507 food calories yesterday, and I lost 1.4 lbs. So far, I've lost 9.2lbs from my loaded weight, and I'm 4.5 lbs. under what had become my regular weight (too high, but pretty consistent).

I also did my strength exercises (I keep putting off the Met Con!), and I did really well - I'm not having a hard time on the reduced rations at all. I've crossed that line to where I'm definitely burning fat. The first couple of days are always a lot of water. I feel better, and I'm not hungry during the day. I've been a little hungry at bed time, but I can manage that. I'm not sure why it is - I think I'll schedule my food a little differently today.

I'm starting to think I have an allergy or intolerance to either chicken or nightshades. I'm not eating either today, and I will see if my tinnitus goes away. I'm hoping it's not chicken. Honestly, I don't want it to be either - I can't imagine line without hot peppers and tomatoes.

Nightshades would be better than chicken or eggs though. Earlier in the week, I thought it might be eggs, but I had a very direct reaction yesterday after eating a salad of mixed greens, chicken breast, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers at Panera. I eat chili powder nearly every day.

I know I have *some* food intolerance that I have not sorted - this is part of the reason I'm doing HCG. It's very easy to eat a simple diet, and the amounts are so small, that it's easy to spot a reaction.

Macronutrients

Breakfast: None

Lunch: Panera Classic Cafe Salad with grilled chicken breast and no dressing. I made dressing at home and brought it with. I cooked some red onion with the Homemade Dressing Italian Seasoning and water. When the water cooked away, I put about 1/4 cup of ACV in the pan, cooked for a moment, and turned it off. I then used the immersion blender on it. It made two servings (one I'll use today), and it was very tasty.

Snack: Egg white protein shake with strawberries, cinnamon, vanilla and orange peel

Dinner: Ground beef and one fresh tomato cooked into chili with my homemade chili seasoning mix. I will *so* miss chili. Sigh. I hope I'm wrong.
