I am one full week into Slow Carbing as of today. Happily, my weight is still on its way down. Unhappily I'm feeling rather lousy today for no apparent reason. Yesterday was my day off of Pagg. I must wonder if there are side effects to starting again. Perhaps it affects some more than others. I also wonder if my dosaging is correct and I will check on that later today. I bought each bottle individually.
I did two new things today. First I had a protein drink this morning instead of food because I was scheduled to run 3 miles. I mixed 1 scoop with 27 grms protein (1grm sugar) to 8oz water. I had two boiled eggs post run. Secondly I used 3 oz salad shrimp on my lunch salad. I did not previously know that the 3 oz has a whopping 20 grams of protein! Very good news.
I have increased my water intake today from yesterday as I wonder if that run dehydrated me somewhat or I would need to ingest more water during this plan while adding cardio. I added a 1liter bottle to my lunch. I was drinking two large pitchers of ice water a day, throught the entire day.
Again, I know that I'm not supposed to obsessively weigh myself daily, but I can't seem to help it. I snuck onto the scale this morning and am back at 140. I'm hopeful that by Sat morning I'll be back to my previous loss of 6lbs and then some.
Clearly I've cut back on my portion sizes each meal today. I don't know why I thought I needed to gorge myself on these foods last week, but it will be good to see what the cause & effect of more calories will be long term. Aside from the cheat day, in the book it says not to worry about calories. I'd like to see if this is indeed the case for me.
While indeed getting at least 20grams of protein each meal, I'm shooting for 130 grams daily. Tonights dinner is wild caught coho salmon. easily 20 grams per serving. Hoping there will be leftovers but feel confident knowing wild caught salad shrimp will equally do the trick.
