Please use this to beat me up as much as possible and motivate me to lose weight.

I have read his book all the way through Slow Carb Diet I.

I started on Monday, and so far I have eaten thus:

Tuesday:
B: Black Coffee w/ 1 tsp cinnamon

L: Chicken Salad w/ greens, tomato, carrots, vinagarette, etc.
D: Chicken Peala, mussels, grilled octopus, peas, etc. (I picked everything out of the rice, since I didn't realize Paela was rice)

(again, I ate less than a tbsp of the rice)

Wednesday:
B: Spinach w/ 1 tbsp lemon juice & 1 tsp olive oil + 2 Egg whites & 1 whole egg w/ salt, pepper, & Salsa mixed in

L: Salad with grilled chicken, pickles, lettuce, carrots, 1 egg white, Italian dressing (1 packet)
D: Salad with mussels, tomato, carrots, vinigarette plus another side-salad with olives etc (smaller) and a Red Wine

Thursday:
B: Spinach w/ 1 tbsp lemon juice & 1 tsp olive oil + 2 Egg whites & 1 whole egg w/ salt, pepper, & Salsa mixed in + 1 cup of mixed legumes (4-bean: red, kidney, lima, pinto)

(I had a cup of legumes as well, not pictures above)
L: 250ml Steak (medium), 250ml Chicken, side salad

D: Mexican Chicken (Half) Grilled, Refried Beans, and Mixed Greens Salad w/ Olives and a Red Wine
S: Red Wine before bed

Thursday:
B: Repeat (no legumes this morning)


Now one of his big motivators is humiliation, so please feel free to talk some sheeeeit... he recommends posting body pictures as photo evidence and for peer-pressure motivation:

Here goes:
(Sorry Ladies, I am TAKEN!!!)

Since I am currently in Australia I have had to weigh in on a KG scale... so far:

Goal: 82 kg (180 lbs)
Tues: 91.5 kg (201.7 lbs)
Wedn: 91.0 kg (200.6 lbs)
Thur: 90.0 kg (198.4 lbs)
Fri: 89.5 kg (197.3 lbs)

I ordered skin-fold calipers and a cloth tape measure so I could start tracking body fat and arm, waist, hips, and thigh measurements...

I hope to update this thread a lot...

Could you replace the pics of you in your underwear with ones of you wearing gym shorts please? We've had complaints in the past.

Other than that, good luck and stick with the goals that you set no matter what!

Good stuff. I just picked up his book as well because the self-experimentation concept is interesting to me.

I just started his suggested diet yesterday. I realize it is not a long-term solution (I don't think I could totally restrict my diet that way for long periods of time) but it seems like a good short-term way to shed some weight/fat. After that, I'll have to demonstrate better self-control to keep it off.

I won't be posting pics, but I'll be right there with you.

I've lost 6 pounds in the last 7 days with it.

I've been doing the diet for about a month now. I've lost about 2 inches off my midsection. Getting tough now as I am trying to get into the 10-12% range.

Are you taking the supplements?

kawood82: I haven't read that far yet... I've seen mention of the PAAG or PAGG stack on some forums I've read though...

Only on Day 4, and I haven't really lost much weight, but I have been doing Army-style PT each day (pushups, situps, running, swimming). I have noticed myself "tightening up" a little.

It's too bad I don't have my tape meaure or calipers yet... I'd love to start tracking these things... my plan is to measure everything weekly the day for Binge-Day

If I do that, they are going to be come-and-get-mes.... are you prepared for that?

Breakfast recipe I learned from the book takes literally 4 minutes...

I crack 3 eggs and pull out the yolks, leaving just the whites in a small cup or container.

I get some frozen chopped spinach and place it in another container.

Microwave both on high for 2 minutes. After about 1:30 (depending on the power of your microwave) check the eggs, because they may be done.

(I did not know you could microwave an egg to cook it before this... it's so fast and easy!)

Pull out the cooked egg and chop into it with a fork. Spoon a large TBSP of low-sugar salsa in with it to make "Juevos Rancheros". (Add salt and pepper to taste.)

With the Spinach just add a TSP of olive oil (he uses flax-seed oil, which I cannot find here, at the moment) and a dousing of lemon juice.

Easy

2/1 I started trying to eat "healthier" at 250.8 pounds. 2/10 I started the Slow Carb diet at 247.13. Today I'm at 243.475.

Go get them spreadsheet!

I have lost 4 inches (18lbs) in the midsection in the last 45 days.
