Ugh, had another drop attack. I've been having bad orthostatic hypotension all day. It's so unpredictable. I know it isn't related to my diet though because I had that before I started the longevity diet.
My new eating for life plan is working out well. I got down to a very low calorie amount though and got scared so I binged on some junk food. In hindsight that was a bad idea, all junk food is bad. I should have eaten healthy foods. Avocado has a lot of calories. I should eat that when my calorie counts get too low. For my binge I had a sour cream glazed donut from Tim Hortons (over 300 kcal) and almost a whole bag of reduced fat kettle potato chips (about 1000 kcal). Even with the binge, my 2 month running average of calories is still below 1000 kcal/day. I did bump up my weekly average though, now it is almost 900 kcal. It was interesting to note that I did not have an appetite even for my binge. Food just doesn't taste as good. It was kind of a forced binge just for the calories.
I will weigh myself on the 18th. I hope I lost more weight. I weigh myself every month. I hope pdoc notices my weight loss! I still have a lot of tummy fat though. I can't wait to get rid of it!
I've started taking an echinacea herb tincture to combat this cold/virus/whatever I have right now that is leaving me feeling run down.
I hope I start feeling better soon so that I feel like exercising again. I need to build up my bones. I want to do 200 jumping jacks everyday. This high impact activity will stimulate my bones.
I can't wait to get a physical in a few months. Then I can see how this diet is making me healthier. Hopefully my biomarkers have all improved and if not I can figure out what is wrong.
