May 31, 2010 - VLCD Day 8

I'm down another 1.1lbs. today for a total of 11.8 lbs. My average daily change is 1.48, but that's including the days I lost my "load weight", which is mostly water. The average for this week should be interesting.

My food calories yesterday were 510.



For breakfast, I had a protein shake made from chai tea and the egg white protein. No fruit.

For lunch, I had a sort of chicken taco salad. Big pile of lettuce with chicken and green onion, topped with a salad dressing made from cottage cheese and salsa.

I made a snack of a salad made from fennel, chicken and half a small apple. The dressing for that involved the chicken poaching liquid from today, a little cottage cheese, lemon juice, spices and parsley. It was decent, but too thin.

For dinner I had the crab, cucumber and kelp noodles.

I'm really trying to boost protein to see how that works out. Basically, I'm eating the allowed foods in any combo I want topping out at 500 calories. I'm breaking all manner of P&I rules. Oh well. It's working really well for now. If it stops working, I'll change.
