Strategy continues

I'm feeling better! I have dropped 10 lbs and that's my first step on my thousand-mile journey, but I've taken that dreaded first step. This is another fast day and so far so good. I added some bouillon to my morning and that helped tremendously. It was hot and savory and very satisfying. While I miss my morning coffee on fast days (can't do coffee without 1/2 & 1/2), the savory beef broth was great. I had a salad with lots of greens, 3 slivers of grilled chicken, 1/2 small scoop of cottage cheese and a small apple for lunch. Dinner again will be the Progresso lite soup and a few strawberries. I'm eating less on non-fast days (I hate "feed" days . . . makes me think of a horse with his nose in the trough!), not because I'm struggling to "diet" but because I truly want less. This phenomenon is really amazing to me because I can overeat VERY easily. But now when I overeat I feel miserable and I have come to hate that feeling. Thanks to everyone who comes and posts their feelings and experiences; I'm learning a lot from all of you!

I do my coffee in the morning with a measured 2T of 1/2&1/2 and then a Matcha Green tea (1tsp green tea powder, 2T 1/2&1/2, 40 oz of water, dropper full of stevia) for my mid morning drink. 2T of 1/2 & 1/2 only has 40 calories! Not worth giving up the coffee for!

Congrats on the loss.

hi, I just found your blog. i am from Asheville and right now am sitting in my dad's kichen in Johnson City! i have been doing the Fast Diet since sometime in April and have lost 8 pounds. I love it. I thought uour comment about "feed days" was funny cause I hate the expression too. Sounds like standing at a trough or something. i am going to read your blog. just wanted to say "hi." in the meantime.
