 ADD review, 2010-09-07
Started ADD three weeks ago, want to lose 15kg, I am not a person of exercise and my life style is sedentary ( desk job, evening TV, walk in a park is a maximum ).
First few "down days" felt a bit shaky, in the second week of diet had weird headaches however that passed and I started feeling surprisingly more alert and energetic during fasting days. As I am not a great fan of replacement drinks, on my "down days" right from the start was eating ordinary food worth up to 500 calories, some days have less than 300, depending on how I feel. Followed my instincts and ate the food I craved obviously in minuscule quantities.
Interestingly my food preferences changed and on an "up day" I have hunger for mainly proteins and veggies; seem to be eating much less of pasta, bread and rice. I eat with no restrictions or second thoughts on my "up days" yet noticing that my ordinary caloric consumption on those days is considerably less than it would be prior dieting. Feel no side effects and my periodic migraines vanished, touch wood, so I must be doing something right. Found that the diet much easier to follow than Atkins or general calorie restriction. Diet essentially feels manageable and I am reasonably sure that would be able to keep up for prolong periods, may be even years.
One down side - alcohol consumption on "up days" may make you feel flimsy on the following "down day", no matter how small that glass of wine was. So if you are planning to go out with friends on your "up day" try to do it as early in the day as possible, have a good meal and lots of water during or afterwards. Following day have maximum allowed calories in the morning and just "man" it for the rest of the day with lots of mineral water.
Three weeks ago my weight was 72kg, today 67.5kg, my old clothes are becoming slack.
Recommend to try even if only for experience of long lost feeling of real hunger and food appreciation.
