Taylor and Marilyn’s Adventures in Blogging!

Well, the first two weeks has been an eye opener for me. While I lost a bunch (4.5 pounds the first week) I gained it all back over the weekend. Then I lost another 4 pounds the next week just to gain it back again in the two day following weekend. I remembered my doctor telling me that if I decided to eat a raw food diet that I would need to really watch and make sure I got at least 1700 calories; so I added the calorie intake up and it was well under the 1700 per day with one day being only about 800.

My wife being as diligent as she is as well as an avid Dr,Oz watcher, did a little research and concluded that my body went into starvation mode during the week and then saved as many calories as possible over the weekend causing me to yo-yo. A call to the Dr. pretty much validated the thought so now I have changed the eating plan up a little. I am still eating mostly a raw diet (about 60%) a day, I have added more protein and am eating meat several times a week and the other a vegetarian style diet. I will admit to a beer or two and a glass of wine here and there and can say that it’s a bitch trying to find the happy medium. In the mean time, my body is tolerating me at least for now and I will keep everyone posted as I learn more.
