R1P2D24

It's the last day of VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet)! As I've mentioned before, I am so excited that P3 allows a greater variety of foods, including nearly all fruits and veggies, fats (butter, EVOO, avocado), dairy (milk, cream, cheese), and extras like almonds. We are still not allowed any starch or sugar on P3, but everything else is fair game, so long as we are staying within a calorie range that meets our body's specific metabolic needs. My goal is to stay around 1600 calories each day, but Ross will likely need about 1800 calories to maintain his current weight loss. The goal of P3 will be to maintain our current weight within 2 lbs. for the next three weeks. Yes, losing more than 2 lbs. from our LDW (Last Dose Weight) could be just as detrimental to the stabilization process. This period of stabilization is absolutely critical as our hypothalamus resets and gets used to our new normal weight.

The stats from this morning...
Ross: 198.4 / -3.0 / -28.6 total (Congrats hubs!  You met your goal!!)
Kelly: 164.6 / -2.0 / -22.0 total (Whew!)

Today's Menu:

Lunch: 1 Whole Egg w/ 1/4 C Egg Whites, Tomatoes, Basil, Oranges

Dinner: Chicken, Broccoli, Baked Cinnamon Apples (not pictured)
