Cabbage Soup Diet: Day One

All the fruit I want spread over the day and Cabbage Soup for dinner.

1. 6 Conadria (dried) figs - 26 carbs
2. 5 mandarin oranges - 25 carbs
3. coffee
4. 10 oz Carrot, Celery, Tomato Juice by mistake (but it was a good way to get the day started) - negligible carbs
5. Cabbage Soup  - negligible carbs
6. Fuji Apple and Fennel juice - 25 and 17 carbs

Missed lunch today since I was out and about and the soup wasn't yet made. I'm figuring my total calories at 500+ at most (4 calories/carb). Tomorrow's veggies will come up even less but I will have 2 servings of the soup (lunch and dinner).

The Plan as it Stands

Not sure what's for breakfast. Most likely a 

• boiled egg and Nova Smoked Salmon ♥
• 2 flour tortillas ♥

I have another

• Chardonnay Citrus Dressing 

Dinner:

• Beef Pattie with yellow pepper, red onion, Feta Cheese
• Hollowed out Ciabatta

Today Should Have Been a Beginning

Breakfast:

Weight Control

At my new patient visit with my doctor this morning I weighed in at my 2nd highest weight ever. I don't have to tell you how this made me feel. I won't ignore the fact that something needs to be done about it.


I don't think the problem with my weight is my basic diet itself. My choices are good but portion control isn't always what it should be and I eat out way too often. The main culprit is lack of activity however. I'm not sure the changes I am about to implement will show up here on these pages.


From time to time I will report on my progress. Perhaps a goal vs actual chart by month.
