I signed up with a local metabolic diet center. The experience was interesting. The first meeting consisted of a consultation where they cover basic information about my goals and my current diet. The diet plan was explained in detail. The plan claimed that I would lose up to 5 pounds a week. I decided to give it a try because honestly I did not have anywhere else to turn. The cost was a bit high and did not include the nutrient supplements that are a part of the diet.

The first step was to meet to choose the menu plan. I tried the vegatarian menu. After the first week and a half of following the plan diligently I had lost 8 lbs. I was a little uncomfortable about losing so much so quickly. I ate a log of eggs initially for my main protein source. The downside was the amount of cholesterol I was getting with the egg yolks. For the second week of the program I replaced the eggs with boca burger patties. I was suprised how good they tasted. I added a little bit of blackening spice and a small amount of ketchup.

I had a horrible week in which I was ill prepared when I went on vacation. I ended up eating things I shouldn’t have. I really tried hard to watch my portion sizes. When I returned from my three day vacation I was pleased to have still experienced weightloss. I was down to 203 pounds. Three weeks I had lost 13 pounds. The fourth week I have seen a much slower rate of loss. By the end of the week I weighed in at 200 pounds. In fact I got stuck at 200 pounds for a week. After starting the fifth week I began to lose again but at a slower rate. In order to continue my success I had to increase my fitness level.   I am now working out 3 to 4 times a week burning 300 - 400 calories per workout. I am still wearing loose casual clothes.

I have come across something of interest. Anti-aging products that use adult stem cells. Click here for more information.
