P1 D1

Rule of Phase 1: No carbs, no sugar,  no caffeeine, no breads, no milk, no vinegar (like in my pickles). Can only have unlimited good fat (animal fat, olive oil, butter, coconut oil, palm oil), meat, lots of veggies except mushroom and potatoes).  Can have brown rice 50 g per day with or without fat meal.

Goal of Phase 1: Candida die-off

Expected Results: Withdrawal symptoms, major cravings

Unavoidable Results: Weight Loss

Starting Weight: 131.0 lbs

Breakfast:
2-egg omelet with caramelized onion
Tomato salad

Rest for 30 minutes before drinking water (this is to allow the gastric juices to digest the food without diluting).

Lunch:

Ginisang Pechay with
Slow Cooked Beef

Leftover sauteed shrimps & broiled scallops (only a few pieces; not enough to satisfy my belly);
1 bowl of beef broth with pechay

Had lots of water 30 minutes after lunch.

Snack:

Burong Mangga

Few munches of burong mangga (1/4 of what's in the picture).

Drank plenty of water in between weeding and rototilling the garden.

Supper:
A bowl of chicken tinola (with about 1 cup of meat and 1 cup of sayote with spinach)

Coconut meat and half of the coconut water (not sure if this is allowable as there should be no sugar in P1, but coconut meat is mainly saturated fats and dietary fiber. Coconut water could have sugar (it's sweets!) that has a low GI, so I am equating this to eating greens.

Side Note: My period started today -- that will mean water retention and weight gain.

Had 1 cup of peppermint tea at bedtime.

Slept really really good!
