First day of the diet. Today I will be doing the 500 calorie Every Other Day Diet. I have purchased a case of Premier Protein Drinks from Costco, each drink is 160 calories and 30 grams of protein, Since protein makes you feel full longer, I intend to have 3 of these – one for breakfast, another for lunch and yet another for supper.  160 calories X 3 = 480 calories.  That leaves me 20 calories which I will use up by munching on baby carrots at 35 calories each,  This is the plan – will update near the end of the day.

Starting weight: 279.4 lbs. with a goal of 225 lbs., so I hope to attain a loss of 54.4 lbs. My fasting blood sugar this morning was 7.4
