Day 8

Day 8
weight 168

Nice weight loss so far with 3 lbs down in 7 days. I've noticed some AS (appetite suppression) and my food log shows that too with calories being reduced. I haven't "dieted" because I have had left over Christmas cookies. I've also had -

steak & salad
orange chicken from Trader Joe's
seeded roll with Swiss cheese, olive oil, vinegar, spices, tomatoes
homemade fish burger and tater tots
semi homemade tortilla soup with corn chips
grilled chicken with Trader Joes Peach salsa

So clearly NOT diet foods. The oil seems to be working again. Like I said years ago...truly amazing. I really don't know why I didn't go back to this sooner. I really tried very hard to lose while going through menopause. I tried low carb which always worked well especially the first 2 weeks. Average 2 week loss would be 9-13 lbs. This time, going through menopause, I only lost 2-3 lbs in a few weeks. I just couldn't take it any longer so I continued to search for a way to lose after menopause and I came across the oil again.

So far so good.

2011 RESTART

Start weight 171

It has been a while since being on the Shangri la diet. In the past few years I've
obviously been gaining and trying everything to lose. I've gone through menopause which was early. In January, I turned 50! It IS harder to lose weight as you age just as my mother has always said.

I will be taking 3TBS of canola oil per day. 1 1/2 early morning and 1 1/2 in the afternoon. I will keep a food log and count calories JUST for my own reasons. You DON'T have to count calories on this no diet diet.
I will also be on my treadmill at least 5 days a week going 2-4 miles per day.
