Osteoporosis Diet

Day #8 weigh-in: 120.6. Down just a tad. I walked 2.2 miles yesterday, but completed no other exercise. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, […]

Day #7 weigh-in: 120.8. Now we’re getting somewhere! I walked two miles yesterday and bellydanced for 1-1/4 hours. Apparently, exercise did the trick. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. […]

Day #6 weigh-in: 121.4. No change again, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. (I was attending a teacher training in Port Orange.) Man, I hate to think that all my body burns is 1084 calories if I spend a sedentary day! I’m definitely getting some exercise today. Reminder: Our goal is to consume […]

Day #5 weigh-in: 121.4. No change from yesterday. Not too surprised, though, since I didn’t get any exercise at all. Still, I would have thought there would be at least a tiny weight decrease, since I consumed only 913 calories. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day […]

Day #4 weigh-in: 121.4 (from 123.4 on Day #1). Goal: Our aim is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible today, while sticking to the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a measure of our metabolic […]

Day #3 weigh-in: 122.0 on my digital scale, down .2 pound from yesterday. Goal: Our aim is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible today, while sticking to the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a […]

On Day #2 I weighed in at 122.2 on my digital scale. We are making progress! Remember: The aim is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible today, while sticking to the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic […]

Today’s the day! I weighed in this morning at 123.4 on my digital scale. The aim is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible today, while sticking to the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a […]

Now that the pantry and freezer are stocked for our upcoming 28-day diet, it’s time to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a few other items. Either Wednesday or Thursday I’ll be heading out to purchase: Eggs, free-range grain-fed SoyTein protein powder (vanilla) Apples, small to medium Red Delicious Bananas Green beans […]

I started keeping a calorie count yesterday in preparation for our upcoming 28-Day Diet to determine the body’s metabolic rate. While Dr. Siegal (Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?) allows diet sodas and other non-nutritive diet foods, we are going to take a higher road here on OsteoDiet. We may be cutting back on calories […]

I’m stocking up the freezer and the pantry this week in preparation for the 28-Day Diet to determine my Metabolic Function Index. Next week I’ll be shopping from the deli and the fresh produce section of the store. In his book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?, Dr. Sanford Siegal gives a long list of […]

After reading Dr. Siegal’s book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?, I am ready to be OsteoDiet’s guinea pig in following his 28-Day Diet to determine metabolic rate. It looks simple enough to do, is not time-consuming, and looks healthy enough. I can use OsteoDiet’s 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio as part of my eating plan […]
