Day 5 - 4lb in 5 days!

This Low carb diet seems to be working. I've lost 4lb in 5 Days and I feel great.

I have mainly been eating salad, vegetables, tinned tuna, a little cheese, chicken and salmon. NO POTATO, PASTA or BREAD!

I guess you could not be as strict and just minimise the Starchy foods, but I want to drop the weight quickly. I'm not recommending you lose weight too fast, I believe it is recommended 2lb a week. Although you should consult a doctor before undertaking any weight loss program or diet. I know that I don't have much will power, so I want to try and lose as much as possible while I have the strong motivation. 

I have also been making sure I drink at least 4 pints of water in a day. I don't drink Tea, coffee etc, so for me this has been quite easy.

I have been feeling a bit hungry between meals and in the evening. I have just been snacking on celery and drinking water. I is amazing how many times I confuse the feeling of hunger with the feeling of thirst!

Yey me! My BMI has dropped to 31 and I weigh 220lb!

Here is a useful tool for calculating BMI - NHS BMI tool.
