Today was day 4 of the low iodine diet. I did my weekly weigh-in as well and found that I hit a milestone of 20 pounds lost. I was really happy to see that. I am sure that the LID has something to do with hitting that goal faster than expected. Especially after the past weekend where I ate whatever I wanted and I have not worked out this week at all. By the way, I discovered over the weekend that not only do I not miss fried or fast food, but it grosses me out now. I did really miss pizza though!
The LID is making me feel icky. I feel tired, my stomach acid is out of control because of all the fruit and no dairy. When I log my calories I notice that my sugars are too high and my protein and fats are way too low. This diet is definitely not a healthy one.
Breakfast: Homemade turkey sausage, pomegranate fruit bar, orange juice.
Lunch: Grilled chicken, grapes.
Dinner: Mexican corn (I cheated a little), fruit salad, Matzo cracker with unsalted, organic peanut butter. I had such a taste for the Mexican corn and I knew it had some dairy on it and probably salt, but I thought a little taste of normal might keep sane. So I had maybe a 1/4 cup of dairy altogether between the cream and cheese with the corn.
Snacks: fruit strip, grapes, raisins.
A week from today I will be getting my first blood test for the scan. I'm trying so hard not to wish October away, but I'm happy about each milestone that I pass that brings me closer to this phase being over with.
