A summary: for the past 6 days I've been experimenting with trying to remove fat and starch almost entirely from my diet. The aim is to adapt a weight loss plan that works for me, unlike all the rest.
Today for the first time I put the usual day's intake into cronometer and got this (I'm looking for themes, things to address to personalize this approach to work for me, see why it's not at the moment):
gelatin
3 boiled eggs
600ml fat free milk
tub fat free cottage cheese
1 skinless chicken breast
5 dark roast coffee
a cup of sugar or more
6 nectarines
Very restricted I know. It's just a start.
2100 calories
137g protein (27%)
347g carb (62%)
26g fat (11%) not counting the bamboo shoots with about a teaspoon max of olive oil
Levels: a bit to very low in folate, C, E, K - E not so much
minerals - bit low in magnesium and potassium, lower in manganese, it says also sodium but I'm not counting salting food to taste
calcium:phosphorus is not good - 1262:1926 but I am having less milk than before due to trying not to overdo liquids
So now I have a few reasons why I'm not feeling good and don't feel like I'm losing weight either other than day one when I peed a lot. I feel unsatisfied, get ravenously hungry again quickly (hello there hunger, I thought you'd gone for good!), feel antsy, restless and craving in a general unspecific way.
This evening I mixed a teaspoon of coconut oil into the chicken breast and so far that's feeling good.
I am reluctant to add greens for the folate and minerals because I just don't want them. Ever! Prefer fruit. I could make a broth but that would be more liquid and I already know it's held me back, too much liquid.
Milk: Combining milk intake with coffee would solve the calcium phosphorus problem but now that I'm making French press style, it's messy and doesn't work to replace the water with milk. But tomorrow I'll do half and half, see how that goes.
I'm talking thyroid as usual, B1 and 3 as usual, aspirin as usual, cypro. In spite of this, constipation worse, so more hypo.
