My weight is pretty much always 145 lately. Fine by me, I've got two and a half months until I want to get to my goal of 140. I'm easing from OWL to Pre-Maintence anyways.
So, since I figured I had all this time, I thought I'd play around!
Today, I shall eat nothing but frankenfoods!
I will eat at the same level that I always eat my healthy whole foods- 1200 calories, 60 from fat, 30 from protein- or shall I? *evil laugh*
Let's see what a day full of sugar alcohols will do to me. Will I wake up 10 pounds heavier? Will I inflate like a balloon? And will I still be in Ketosis?!
So let the horror begin! (just to clarify, this is a one day only thing, and just to satisfy my curiosity and maybe give some proof to the newbies how bad frankenfoods are)
Breakfast: 1 Atkins Mocha Bar, 1 Hershy's low carb bar
alleged carbs: 4
How I felt: VERY full. It's only 350 calories, which is what I normally do for breakfast! I burped twice and barely wanted to touch my water (and I usually love drinking it, at least 75 ounces a day). Also, I thought the whole thing was a bit sweet.
Lunch: 1 Atkins Chocolate Decadence
Alleged carbs: 2
How I felt: Back when I was taking Metformin, it used to give me a little bump where my tummy was. I've got it back, and a hour later a worried boyfriend actually asked me if I taken one today. When I was eating it I thought mainly that it was too sweet. I'm still burping, and I have a icky little suspicion that a bathroom trip's not to far off. It's getting hard to remeber to drink my water.
Second lunch: 1 Atkins Chocolate Decadence
Alleged carbs:2
How I felt: The little belly went down, thank goodness! Around this time my stomach seemed to settle down to. After all the posts I was starting to wonder if something dramatic was going to happen, but I drank some more water.
Dinner: 1 Atkins Chocolate Decadence
Alleged carbs:2
How I felt: Sometime after second lunch I stopped being full, just satiated. It's safe to say I'm sick of chocolate though. Me and my friend jogged down to get some eggs for tommorow's breakfast and I was back to feeling like myself.
Water Intake for the Day: 68 ounces
The Morning After (will be filled in March 3rd)
Was I in Ketosis: Yes, one shade lighter than I normally am
Weight: 145
How I felt: Since it's friday the gym opens later. So I did wake up an hour late. I'm not feeling sluggy anymore though, and think my stomach finally totally adjusted. Now for eggs!
