Getting Back on the Fast Weight Loss “Trail”

August 11th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

On August 1, I decided to kick start my fast weight loss diet plan into high gear, again! It was time to get back to the stricter Kimmer Experiment and behave myself. I have been doing great ever since.

I have now lost more weight and am now down to 187 pounds (over 72 pounds in total so far) as of this morning. My husband bought me a George Foreman grill (for grilling salmon patties, lean burgers, and fish fillets) and I intend on using it daily to grill my protein.

A big thrill this week was that I went to the store over the weekend and purchased a pair of size 10 Petite jeans. They are still a bit tight but I have them hanging in my closet and trying them on every weekend for inspiration.

It occured to me that I haven’t updated my measurements on the Fitday Diet software for a couple of months, so I might just do that tonight. I’ll post the total inches lost, just for fun, in the next few days. Stay tuned from one BIG believer in the Kimkins Diet Plan!

How Do I Get Back on Track with the Kimkins Diet?

After recovering from my scare with the scale and realizing that I really had only “gained” a couple of pounds (which I suspected was water weight), I decided to get serious again using the Kimkins Diet Plan and see if I couldn’t just power down past the 200 mark and earn my next prize.

I decided that the best way to do that was to do Kimmer Experiment, which is stricter than the regular Kimkins Diet regimen, but it does work faster. I did really well that first week and in fact weighed in under 200 pounds on July 1st. In the Kimkins world they call that being in “ONEderland”.

My usual routine included lots and lots of water and plain lean protein. I like turkey burgers and salmon so I had lots of meals that consisted of just those. I also like mustard and found some Jack Daniels Mustard that is really good with zero carbs. I wasn’t hungry and was so busy catching up at work and home from being gone, the pounds just fell off. Believe it or not, I lost almost seven in just five days.

Prior to my trip I had set a goal to be under 200 (before leaving on the trip) and I was killing myself to get there. I even resorted to fasting a couple of days here and there to hit some minor goals on the way down. But in the end, I just decided to go back to the regular Kimkins Diet and see what happens.

My Kimkin Diet Plan Progress – Weeks #5 and #6

June 1st, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

I am attempting to catch up to the present on my progress with the Kimkin Diet plan so I can give you more of a live update in the future. Unfortunately, a little thing like my job is getting in the way, but I promise that I will try my best to update you on weeks 7-8 shortly, and then onward in real time.

Just to let you know, I have lost 49 pounds so far and haven’t lost any motivation to keep going. But I did learn an important lesson during the fifth and sixth week – you can’t believe everything you read about low carb dieting rules because it may not apply to you!

The Devil Made Me Do It!

Well even with the best intentions, a slip-up can happen at any time. I was cruising along doing great and thought that I could handle having sour cream and Velveeta cheese in the refrigerator. It all started off innocently enough - I used a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and some Velveeta to make a quick dip for my husband and I decided to do just a “little” taste (Uh-Oh!).

I could rationalize it away since it really didn’t have any carbs. A little taste quickly became several little fingers full and then the sour cream started. I started putting just a teaspoon on “this” and “that” to add taste.

My calories were just a little higher than normal each day. But my weight went up and down with the same pound for a least a week. I finally admitted to myself that I just couldn’t handle having those two ingredients in my house (I blame my husband, of course).

So, I woke up on the Sunday morning going into week #6 and put the rest of the cheese dip and the sour cream down the garbage disposal. We just don’t buy those items anymore - at least for now.

The Kimmer Experiment to the Rescue

The remainder of the second week I stayed on the Kimmer Experiment and quickly lost weight – seven more pounds. I guess in the end I did OK, but I’ll tell you… I learned my lesson and will never do that again.

Luckily, I didn’t do any major damage, but I realized that I momentarily lost sight of the Kimkin Diet goal – fast weight loss! I now log into my FitDay PC Software each and every day and meticulously keep track of every spoonful of anything I stick into my mouth before I eat the next meal. When my calories reach my goal of 500 a day, I stop eating. Simple as that! What I found was that I wasn’t eating for hunger at that point, just chowing for the entertainment value.

Not All Diet Plan Rules Work for Everyone

On another note, I’ve discovered that regardless of the fact that cheese does not have carbs, it still tends to stop the weight loss. I had previously read about several others on the Kimkin Diet site having problems with this, but it was still puzzling to me since both Adkins and South Beach allow at least fat-free cheese. Maybe that’s just one more reason that you don’t lose weight nearly as fast on these diets. Anyway… no more cheese for me!
