Yesterday I prepared a Mediterranean meal, The recipe was the “Sweet Potato Chickpea Buddha Bowl” from the book The Mediterranean Diet. This ended up being a huge meal, much larger than anticipated. I made enough for three meals, and each of these are quite substantial.  Today is my diet day again and I just finished my first protein drink. I now know to check the portion sizes of each recipe so I don’t end up over doing it.

My numbers went back up a bit. My starting weight was 279.4 pounds. My weight this morning was 274.2 pounds, so I gained back some weight, but still show a total weight loss of 5.2 pounds or 2.36 kg. My blood sugar was also higher today, probably from eating too much for supper last night. It was reading at 9.4 mmol/L.

I know constipation plays a part in this as well. I mean, if I am not eliminating, the weight will not go down. With a high protein intake on my diet days, I know I need to incorporate more fibre into my diet on my eating days.
