Africandieter

:smooched: I picked up the above diet comms from netmums' forum about 3 weeks ago, I tried it for 4 days and lost 7lbs panicked and started yumming everything in sight because I thought there was something wrong. Anyway after careful consideration, research and soul searching I have decided to embark on it again . Apparently this is a pre-ops diet plan to help patients shed weight fast, hence it was prescribed by a surgeon.

Day 1: I started yesterday weighing at 197lbs (Monday 25.06.2012), BF - 1 slice of brown toast and grilled tomatoes, black coffee (no sweetner); Lunch - Fruits (any amt) so I had a cup of cherries, 1 cup of grapes, 2 small tangerines and 1 medium banana. Dinner - 2 hard boiled egges and lettuce with cucumber. (+ half a cup of unsalted roasted peanut, my own additional fuel for pre-workout)
I woke up at 5.am and had a cup of lemon with warm water, did 500 jump ropes and 50 crunches before getting ready for work (8.00am start time). I finished work at 4pm, had dinner, took an hour nap and went for 40minutes walk/run before bed.

Day 2 : I weighed myself this morning 194lbs (so 3lbs down) not sure if the loss comes from the above diet, low calorie intake or the workout. I am on day 2 (not easy i must add). BF - 1 boiled egg + half grapefruit (GF) and a cup of coffee with sweeter, L - 1/4 roast chicken (extra tasty from morrison), 1 cup cherry tomatoes. I am on my 4th cup of water, its 14:20 GMT and interestingly am full but not stuffed, I am not craving either. Dinner will be steak with lettuce.
I will have a cup of herbal tea and water before I leave the office for the day. My new morning regime continued this morning with a cup of lemon juice/ warm water and 500 jump ropes. I am hoping to get a nap tonight before i go for my evening walk/run.

You are welcome to join me otherwise I am happy to keep you all updated on my progress. I'm hoping to complete the entire 7 days so fingers x.
