Week One of the ETL diet: I lost 7 pounds in 7 days.
So I read the book “Eat to Live” a few weeks ago and knew I had to go on this diet (or rather, lifestyle change). I finally started the diet last Monday. After a week, I lost seven pounds. Here are my observations:
The Good
- I lost seven pounds!
- I did not feel hungry, except some days about an hour before lunch or dinner.
- I feel light even when I am full.
The Bad
- I have this low-level mental fog that started the second day, got worse, than improved two days ago. However, it has not disappeared entirely. I was planning to self-medicate by going to one cup of coffee, but I will give it one more week.
- I did not feel well in general the first few days. However, I think this had to do with a head cold that I came down with in the second half of the week.
The Ugly
- No ugly! Sweet!
Conclusion
It’s too early to make any conclusions. More blog posts to come on this topic…
