oops sry I meant 12 lol. It has taken me almost 2 months to lose 30, ugh.. so I’m trying to get my losing rate up.. But 12 in 22 days is greaat. I love how fast you lose on this diet.. I honestly can’t do any other diets because of it!

Yay, 22 lbs!! That’s a lot!
I have about 50 more lbs to lose. I’ve lost about.. 30 lbs (I think, I’m underestimating b/c my scale doesn’t work) - So I understand what it feels like to have so much to lose!
I’m glad it helped.. yes I am going to try and do a light workout today.
Some guys do, but I notice it is when you start feeling more confident with your body where they do (even if you are still overweight! - it has been happening a lot with me lately where people in general, including guys, are taking more notice of me - even if I am still big, I’m feeling better about myself and excited to keep losing).. =]
Anyway, glad to hear you are doing well!

Oh and for the hunger thing - I have to admit that I did feel that sometimes, and I had to rotate the beads more often - before and after the workout - and had to drink much more water.. So it didn’t happen always but days that I pushed myself, yes.

Hi, actually.. I did this diet last year and lost a lot of weight - I never worked out before this diet and then I started using my treadmill and went from sedentary to walking/sprinting 3 miles 3-4 days a week.. which says a lot for me. At that time, I didn’t feel too bad, I actually had more energy - but I noticed that there were days my body did not want to, and I had to take it down a notch.
I am going to start working out again, I know that we’re not supposed to do strength-training b/c you’d need a different diet for that (I think transition is a good time for that b/c of the protein, but not sure..). When I used to go to the doctor, he told me that walking was best, basically, we’re losing weight fast enough as is so I don’t think we should overdo it with the cardio, I suspect we could lose muscle by doing that because I don’t know if we are getting enough to be doing that. Then again, everyone’s body is different..
Sorry I don’t have clearer answers, but honestly when I did a modest amount of cardio, I still felt pretty great - but only when I was eating everything correctly and I had been dieting cheat-free for at least 2 weeks..
Hope that helps!

I’m on a journey to reach 18% body fat as well! I’m training for a half marathon and it’s so exciting to see that you’ve become a runner. Running is one of the best things you can do to drop the fat fast, and I think it’s pretty fun!

Oh, you can disregard the last comment! I see you’re doing accu-weight loss! I’m doing the same diet! Can I add your blog to my site links? This diet is so different, it is nice to know other people going through the same thing. =]
