Well. Overall a major success. By day 4 (after the diet) hubby had dropped 7.2 lbs and I dropped 8.4 lbs!
I was very pleasantly surprised. I had assumed I would lose about 4 lbs, so to double that made me quite happy.
After Day 1 I had felt great. I stuck to the diet exactly. By the afternoon of Day 2, I was feeling extremely weak and lightheaded. I also had a very fussy baby, and was concerned about him getting enough food. I added up the calories and realized this diet has you eat only about 1,000 calories a day. Which is fine for a "normal" person wanting to lose weight, but I decided I better up my calories by a bit since my K-bear was depending on me for his nourishment as well. I stuck to the basic meal plan, but added a 4th meal in on Day 2 & 3 and ate a little more during dinner. I'm VERY proud of the hubby who stuck strictly to the diet for all 3 days.
So even with added calories I was very excited to see that baby weight coming off! Here's to another week of success.
I'm adding in a little more aerobic activity; hubby and I are still doing NO sugar; and eating healthy and reasonable portion sizes.
