Day 1674 - Jumpin' Jack Flash is a GAS GAS GAS (Day 4 - Third Time's a Charm)


Although this time experience is not as detailed as last time, I will be posting the "highlights" or different experiences on this time doing the diet. 

So... I don't know if I'm already on ketosis or the pills (phentermine) are the ones that keep me calm without anxiety BUT, I'm controlling so good those attacks and even though I watch TV and (By the way, have you ever noticed that on EVERY TV show, there's always someone eating DELICIOUS food?) I want to eat what they are eating I can convince myself to not eat and wait for 1, 2 or 3 hours depending my schedule and I can manage through. 

One thing I have noticed, is that when I'm not working or being distracted, I am constantly watching the clock counting the hours for my next meal. 
Memo to me: Keep Busy. 

The most strange thing (and new thing) -and I'm so sorry for the explicit anecdote- is that I feel bloated and am "gassy" very uncomfortable. I don't know if it's the meals or the tomato olive oil combination. I'll have to figure that out. 

Above all... I'm loving every minute of this time!




  Update: By theory of elimination, it seems the bread is giving me this reaction. 

Update 05/10/2017 . -  So It seems it's the chocolate/coconut bar. As I was thinking, the maltitol on the fake chocolate is the one that makes this effect. 


Day 1672 - Weigh In (Day 2 - Third Time's a Charm)


Feeling good. The new food is AMAZING! I tried the toast and the coconut bar covered with chocolate. 

I must admit the toast was VERY hard.. my jaw was killing me at night. 

The coconut bar, was very good also. 

HOWEVER

I'm not trying to be picky or a party pooper, but It's how I am experiencing it. 

Once I finished my meal, after 5 minutes, I get this feeling of numbness on my throat. Not a hard numbness but a feeling as if I had a flu and my throat feels funny. 

It happened with the coconut bar and the toast specifically. 

Last night I had this sensation and couldn't eat the 5th meal. I  knooow I knooow I shouldn't do this, but I had no appetite at all and the feeling on my throat was not helping. 


Also, I have noticed it's taking me a lot more effort to swallow all the pills. 
I couldn't try the vitamins, made me nauseous. 

I feel happy above all. 

Today I ate toasts again, they have an acid flavor to it so I ate them with 100gr of tomato, 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and that was a great combination. 
Still... My throat feels funny.
