All I can say is wow! I didn't want to believe that my newly purchased bathroom scale was reading the proper weight, but my weigh in with Dr Sean Bourke at Jumpstart Medicine proved it to be slightly high.

Here is a graph of my weight loss (if you are reading this in the future this graph will have updated for future weigh ins as well)...

I have lost 22 lbs in 10 days. Going from 390.1 to 368.0 pounds.

How?

Well I am on a 1200 calorie food based (low carb low fat) medically assisted weight loss program from Jumpstart medicine. I forget the exact term the doctor used, but I think it was something like protein assisted fast. The goal is to put the body into ketosis, which given my weight loss I would assume I have done.

I have a weekly MIC injection as part of the program and I take daily Phentermine, Chromium Picolinate, a multivitiam, a B6 supplement, and B12 supplement.

I stuck to the diet strictly. If anything I ate a too few carbs or at least too few fruits.

I exercised everyday. I varied the routine from a vigorous long walk with my dogs to walking 9 holes of hilly golf carrying my bag, to riding the stationary bike and lifting weights.

I drank lots and lots of water. Way more water than I ever have before.

To get past cravings I have found 2 nifty tricks.

1. 5 almonds counts as 1 protein and is a great tasting salty snack.
2. 1 cup of non fat chicken broth has 10 calories. Add a little black pepper and cayenne pepper and heat it up in a coffee mug. It is very satisfying and has almost no calories.
