Well, my average weight during the first 5 days is 175, down 4 pounds from 179. However, I've seen a pretty stead weight loss of about a pound a day. I expect to gain a lot of it back when I start consuming food again. At this rate, I'll be under 170 when I start coming off the lemonade. If I can change my eating habits, I hope to maintain 175.
My stomach cannot hold as much as it used to. I used to be able to drink the 32 oz of salt water and then down a 12 oz lemonade. Now I can do one or the other, but not both. I have to wait a little bit.
I feel like I have a bit more energy today than yesterday. I also had a bit more lemonade than previously.
A co-worker had a great suggestion that may change the name of my blog (Lemon Fire Water). You can get cayenne capsules. I just made a batch of lemonade sludge without cayenne and will try taking the capsules with it. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.
The salt-water drink has not had as big an impact as it did early on. Today I started using 3 teaspoons of salt in 32 oz of water. That seemed to help a little. I'm going to stick with 3 tomorrow, but I may up it to 4 teaspoons on Saturday morning.
