Shangri La Diet: Day Fifteen
Weight: 257.4
Daily weigh-ins are a strange thing. I ate nothing at all yesterday between 9am and 8pm, had a small dinner and somehow gained weight? I’m not worried about it, after all even a 1 pound fluctuation is only .3% of my body weight. As long as the trend continues downward I’m happy.
Today I had a nice healthy bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. I’m interested to see if I have the same lack of appetite all through the day that I experienced yesterday.
Update: It’s funny, oatmeal is one of the foods that are supposed to be filling due to all the fiber but I’m much hungrier today than I was yesterday. I had instant oatmeal with maple and brown sugar flavoring. Perhaps the sugar caused my blood sugar to spike and then crash, causing the hunger? I definitely have the low blood sugar shakes that I used to get when I ate cereal for breakfast. Tomorrow I will try a non-sugary breakfast, maybe eggs and toast, and compare the results. Lunch today is going to be chicken soup, about 200 calories, and a few saltines. It should turn out to be a pretty low calorie day.
