Well nothing like tax day to make you take the plunge... Recently I bid on and "won" the first month of a medically supervised weightloss program called Jumpstart Medicine with Dr Sean Bourke. It turns out that I did receive a substantial discount by purchasing through the charity auction. I am committed to this medical food based program until I reach my goal weight. This time will be different. This time I have help. I highly recommed Jumpstart. I have a special offer for anyone in wanting to try Jumpstart in Redwood City or Mountain View: $25 off your first visit (just print it and bring it to your appointment).
Anyway, today was my first appointment and it represents new beginnings for this blog... I intend to follow my journey through this medically assisted weight loss program and into a completely new healthy lifestyle...
First of all here is the bad news... I was up to 390.41 lbs with a Body Mass Index of 40.8 (normal is 18.5-25) and a Percent Body Fat of 39.0% (normal is 10-20). Clearly I am currently obese.
They had a fancy scale that provided a variety of various other statistics and perhaps I will look into writing about them as I figure out what they mean.
I will go into far more details in the coming posts, but to start here is the basics...
Weekly doctor visits until goal weight reached.
The Diet: ~1200 calories that breaks down very much like weight watchers only with fewer carbs. For 1 day, I get 14 proteins (~1oz lean/very lean protein, 6 carbs (vegetables and fruit, plain salad is unlimited), 1 dairy, 120 oz of water.
The Exercise: At least 60 minutes of rigorous walking 5-7 days a week. Don't overdue the exercise (no marathons) until the effects of the medicine and the diet have stabilized. 9 holes of golf walking and carrying my bag counts. !!!
The Medicine: Weekly MIC Injection (Methionine, Inositol, and Choline), daily Phentermine, daily Chromium, daily Multivitamin, and optional weekly B12 shots. There are 2 other medicines for women which I will not be taken: Calcium and B6.
